Trip of a Lifetime
What a wonderful mix! Barcelona set the stage for a many-faceted Knitting experience. We learned new knitting techniques, saw Gaudi's fabulous architecture, were treated to an amazing Flamenco show, were tempted by irresistible yarn and made friends with adorable with alpacas. Oh yes, and our tour guide was amazing.

Wonderful knitting or quilting tours
I have been on two trips with Knitting Tours and would recommend their products. The first tour was to Scotland including Shetland. The instructors for the classes are well known and respected knitters who were very warm and helpful. We went to historic and cultural places that were beautiful and interesting. The guide was very informative and helpful. My most recent tour was their first quilting tour. We started in Edinburgh and went south to York and the Lakes District in northern England. The hotels were very comfortable and the food was good. I really enjoyed the three classes we had. The teachers were thorough and very helpful. I learned techniques that I intend to use in my future quilting projects. If you want a quilting or knitting tour of Ireland or Great Britain I would highly recommend this company.

Amazing Tour Company - Highly Recommend
I reached out to KnittingTours.com to help me put together my dream knitting trip to Scotland - including Shetland. I was putting the trip together for a group of Male Knitters I belong to, and therefore, I wanted to make a a few changes to get more of a male perspective to Scotland and Shetland. From the very first correspondence, everyone at KnittingTours.com was professional, helpful and went above and beyond. We put together an amazing itinerary- and the trip turned out way better than I could have imagined! All 25 guys who went on the trip were blown away by the trip - and we had an amazing time. I can't recommend KnittingTours.com enough. Ann, Sarah and Milda all made the planning and execution flawless! THANK YOU!

Fabulous service with attention to…
Fabulous service with attention to detail. Every Ireland experience was fun and well planned. This trip showed the beauty of Ireland with special attention to the wool industry ( knitters will not want to miss this) .Plenty of exploring and shopping time. You are well taken care of and treated like royalty!!

The entire experience was wonderful!
The entire experience was wonderful; they struck a perfect balance between activities and time to wonder on our own around the towns and points of interest. Our guides were exceptionally knowledgeable and were able to bring every place we stopped to life for us with their enthusiasm. Clearly, they enjoy sharing their home with visitors.

Experience of a lifetime (even for non-knitting companions!)
My husband and I participated in the men's knitting tour of Scotland and Shetland (he's the knitter, I'm the non-knitter enabler!), and it was an extraordinary experience. We were looking forward to the trip, but had no idea what a great experience was awaiting us. It was incredibly well organized from start to finish, and everything was planned with care, while also leaving good time for enjoying various sites on our own. Our tour guide, Kirsty, was beyond good--she was knowledgeable, hilarious, incredibly well organized, and adaptive; I honestly don't think we could have had a better or more personable guide for the unique travel experience that was planned. All the knitters on the tour had great things to say about the craft and artisanal workshops, but even for a non-knitter I thoroughly enjoyed myself and felt fully included and welcome. Every day was filled with new and interesting things, but not so packed that we felt rushed. We had the opportunity to learn a lot about the regions we visited (Kirsty has a Ph.D. in Scottish history and experience as a lecturer, so she was well positioned to answer even our most obscure questions), and we spent a lot of time off the main roads and tourist locations to engage with the country and the people in more genuine ways. Truly couldn't be happier with the tour and would highly recommend both the company and the guide without hesitation or reservation. It was a transformative adventure and one we're keen to do again!

Thoughtful, Professional, and Delightful Service!
We thoroughly enjoyed working with KnittingTours.com. They listened to our requests and thoroughly explored all our options (even when it was out of the ordinary). We felt taken care of and well prepared for our Knitting Adventure in Shetland. We would highly recommend them to other knitting groups and happily use them again for ourselves!

A Great Experience
KnittingTours.com provided a quality experience from the booking process to the end of the tour. The company clearly outlines what is included, the type of accommodations and the itinerary. The classes were very instructive and the instructors very knowledgeable. Most of the tourist stops along the way were of interest, but there was always the option to opt out of a tour if it wasn't. I am a return traveller with Knitting Tours and have a trip lined up for next year so they must do a lot right!

Fun and Welcoming
It was especially helpful that KnittingTours arranged the preTour accommodations &hop on hop off bus. The tour was interesting and fun. The group leader & bus driver were delightful. We had a very international group of women who all had knitting and love of yarn in common - a subset of us are even in a WhatsApp message group post-tour. I hope to do another KnittingTours.com trip within the next couple of years.

Well Planned Tour
My tour was very well organized with each day packed with Irish experiences I would not have be able to do on my own. Both the tour guide and coach driver took every opportunity to add to our experience. The workshop with Carol Feller was fantastic. I have been a hard core knitter for about 25 years and still learned a ton from this workshop.

The Wild Atlantic Way
What a fantastic experience! We visited so many interesting stores, had fabulous workshops by such skilled teachers and shopped shopped shopped - until we all said NO MORE YARN! (what knitter ever says that??) Hotels were 4* +. Meals were excellent. The coach was very comfortable. Our guide, Cecilia, was remarkable with her fountain of knowledge about every thing we saw! Trip of a lifetime, for sure. Would definitely travel with knitting tours.com again!
