Not just a tour; more a collection of wonderful experiences

This company took care of me from the time I landed in Dublin until the time I departed Ireland. The tour itself was a joy with excellent accommodations, good food, and enjoyable and memorable activities throughout. The tour guide was amazing in her knowledge of all things Irish and was very helpful to answer any questions or concerns. The coach driver was also excellent. I cannot recommend this company enough and I hope to take another tour with them at a future date.

Scotland/ Shetland

This trip to Scotland and Shetland was very well organized, and tour company staff did their best to ensure everything was in place before we even left our homes.
They scheduled stops at crofts, shopping, historical locations, and museums/ galleries.

Don't be afraid

I was very hesitant to go on this tour because of health issues. Everyone from the company, the hotels, and the restaurants was very accommodating and I had an incident-free tour. It was the trip of a lifetime for me. Thank you to Knitting Tours and especially to Pauline our guide.

Knitting Tours Trip to Madrid

Our Patty Lyons knitting tour trip to Madrid was an amazing experience from start to finish. The hotel, the mix of knitting and tourist activities, and especially the trip to Wooldreamers were just terrific. The food was very good, the tapas cooking night was a blast, and I am so grateful that the trip included a day in Toledo. Our tour manager and bus driver were both wonderful, and I would be eager to go on another adventure with Knitting Tours.
