Fantastic Shetland/Scotland Knitting Tour My second review. This was an exceptional tour from beginning to end! Detailed descriptions, clear itinerary, specific accommodations, amazing & talented instructors were all carefully planned. There was a comfort built into the tour because of the professional planning. There was always someone to answer any concerns or questions without delay. Our tour guide & driver were so wonderful! They were knowledgeable, prepared, warm & personable & an important part of the success of our experience. It was just so much fun & I would absolutely recommend this trip & am most likely to take another.

Barcelona 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.

Knitting in Paradise This was the second tour I have done with Knitting Tours, and it was fabulous! The venue (Parknasilla Resort) lives up to the hype on their website. I didn’t try the swimming, spa or gym, but the walking trails are well maintained and the trails along the ocean offer great views. The only hiccup was the cancellation of a sightseeing drive along the Ring of Kerry - but there was a good reason. A nasty piece of weather named Agnes! But the group managed to have the resort start a fire for us and we received hot chocolate or Irish coffee which we enjoyed along with some extra time with our instructor! An alternate tour was arranged, but knitters can be an ornery group! We requested a speedy return to Dublin instead so we could get to the delightful knitting store “This Is Knit” and they graciously obliged. All in all, a spectacular experience!

Excellent 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.

I enjoyed the variety of experiences… I enjoyed the variety of experiences from shops to farms to museums and must-see tourist destinations as well as off the main road drives. I’m very disappointed I missed the announcement that we were swimming at the Aran Islands. My only regret. Also, there is no better tour leader than AnnMarie. She and David Martin were the best!
