PTBarcelona 2023 This was Knitting Tours first trip to Barcelona, and mine, and it was so well organised and delivered, I had a wonderful time. The balance of knitting, sightseeing and other events was great and the hotel accommodation and staff at Hotel Seventy were all superb. Our tour guide, Anne Marie Hayes was exceptional both in her organisational ability and knowledge. Thoroughly recommend Knitting Tours and this trip in particular.

GBExcellent tour and really special… Excellent tour and really special workshops and visits to folk museums and mills and beautiful small towns and gorgeous scenery. The guide and driver were excellent and the group was wonderful. The food was excellent and we got a good taste of Scottish history from our her. I was frustrated by the lack of communication from the Tour company prior to the trip. And the meeting at the Edinburgh airport didn't go smoothly at all. I also felt that the Glasgow portion of the trip could have been eliminated or redesigned: perhaps a visit to a folk music club textile workshop of some kind.

CAAmazing Scotland/Shetland Knitting Tour I recently returned from the Scotland/Shetland Knitting Tour and had an absolutely wonderful time. The trip was very well organized and the fabulous, knowledgeable, funny, Scottish guide Kirsty was able to flexibly time manage and manoeuvre us through all manner of textile and historic sites with ease. To be immersed in the world of Shetland knitting was so inspiring. Not only did I learn lots from these Shetland teachers, but my fellow tour mates were equally inspiring with their beautiful knits. This tour exceeded my expectations and for anyone who has a passion for knitting and all things textile I know they’d love this tour as much as I did.

AUFantastic knitting tour to Shetland Well organised tour to the Shetland Islands. The tour guide was very knowledgable about where we travelled and some of the history of Shetland. The bus driver was courteous and helpful at all times and willing to go out of his way, as time allowed, to give us the opportunity to see other things. The workshops were run by very talented women who shared their skill and knowledge in a way we could all benefit. The other tourist places were visited were in keeping with the theme of fibre and were interesting even for non knitters. I have come home with wonderful memories and new skills.

GBIndividual attention. Individual attention by the instructor. Her knowledge enabled me to expand options for my knitting. The hotel, Lough Eske, was fantastic. Great rooms, staff interaction, and good food. I do wish the breakfast was laid out better, tho. I want to thank the office staff for their rapid responses to my questions. I would definitely use this company in the future.
