I'd love to hear from anyone who has taken the Best of Italy tour recently to find out where there were laundry opportunities. We're going to be going this April, and I like to plan ahead.
Thanks,
San

My advice... skip laundry day/musty half dry clothes and just pay the hotel to do it. It's a small luxury that pays off big while on a fast moving vacation.
(Think how much $ you're spending per day on this whole trip and it quickly maths out, IMO)

We did laundry in Florence on our September 2024 tour -- we found three places within a short walk from the hotel, but only needed one, of course. The itinerary has changed but Florence is about a week into the trip.
On our 10+ RS tours, we almost always find a laundromat. Yes, it takes a few hours but it's less time overall compared to half an hour every day for a week. And the clothes are clean and dry. Often it has been a memorable cultural experience.
