The Knit and Nature Ireland Tour was a 5 star experience. The hotels were lovely and the food in the included meals was excellent. There was a good balance between workshops, visiting local points of interest and free time for shopping. The tour was conducted smoothly and competently by our tour guide Michele who was a pleasure. I will definitely travel with Knitting Tours in the future.

This is my second tour with KnittingTours.com. On both trips I attended workshops with instructors who were interesting; teaching us skills that are new to me, while telling our group about the history of the area they live in and the craft they are teaching. Often times they share stories and experiences that pique my interest in knowing more about the skills they’re teaching or the customs and history they’re sharing. We always stay in beautiful hotels that offer a delicious breakfast, have cozy gathering areas, and comfortable rooms. The tour buses are comfortable and the drivers get us to our destination safely. I am looking forward to taking more tours with Knittingtours.com.

Had a fantastic time on the Knit and Nature tour with manager Michele and driver Beata. The classes were excellent and the sightseeing was fantastic. Every guide we had was knowledgeable and entertaining. The selection of yarns that we could purchase at the various venues ranged from rustic to elegant and the garments they turn into will provide tangible souvenirs of the trip. I had high hopes for the trip and it met all of my expectations and then some. Traveling alone was not at all problematic as my fellow knitters were all so friendly and welcoming. I will definitely book with knittingtours.com again.

Excellent guide and driver.
Excellent classes from good teachers in topics of interest to me: fitting garments correctly and natural dyeing of yarn.
Great opportunities to learn more about Ireland and the history of the country and to see sights as well as opportunities for shopping. Great opportunity to learn about the fiber industry in Ireland.

My Dragon Lore tour with KnittingTours.com was a truly wonderful experience! From the beautiful destinations and fascinating historical sites to the unique fiber-related activities and opportunities to connect with fellow knitters, every part of the journey was special. The team made the experience memorable, and I loved sharing my passion for knitting, dragons, and Scottish history with such an enthusiastic group. It was a fantastic adventure, and I’m already looking forward to planning our next knitting tour together. Five stars without hesitation!

Workshops were well organized but balanced with seeing sites. Free time was not a problem for me , but the days were busy and coach travel sometimes felt long . The ideal size would be sixteen. Tour guide had great info and her what’s app daily schedule was helpful. Will be going in the spring on another tour. Thanks!

We had an extremely knowledgeable guide who also made everything fun. We ate good food and met good people while enjoying the Danish culture and yarn stores

Goes above and beyond to make sure that all the attendees have a good time and the host gets to customize the trip the way they want

Our tour guide Pauline made our trip to Scotland and the Shetland Islands exceptional. She made sure everyone on the trip, knitter and non-knitter alike, had the best experience by understanding our expectations and checking in often to see if everything was okay. Communication with the staff at Knitting Tours was great. The itinerary was well organized, including a nice mixture of interesting yarn shops, historical sites & sheep and cashmere goat farms. The knitting teachers were awesome and I had absolutely the best time! I booked another Knitting Tour for Ireland in 2027.

Fabulous well organized trip from start to finish!

The entire trip was well planned. Noreen Lyon our tour manager, was knowledgeable and fun.
Dalmahoy Hotel and Country Club in Edinburgh, The Shetland hotel in Lerwick Shetland, and the Hotel Indigo in Dundee where great places to stay.
The food was excellent. Shout outs to the Shetland Hotel for the food and service.
Linda Shearer, Janette Budge and Elizebeth Johnston where kind and giving teacher.
This is the knitting tour you want to go on.

Well organized and never a dull moment! Accommodations were excellent, Brooks Lodge and Brooks Hotel. Michelle, our tour guide was a wealth of knowledge and efficiency. I would recommend this tour to knitters I know.

What a wonderful week! The retreat was a great balance of field trips, hands-on activities, classes, and tourist activities. Everything went smoothly and Michele took good care of us. Best was a lovely group of fellow knitters! Most were there as solo travelers, which made it very easy to meet everyone. I would absolutely recommend.

Had a wonderful trip. Siobhan was so helpful in arranging pre-trip arrival and accommodations. Michelle was a well-organized and attentive tour guide and Paddy kept us safe on the roads! Covered a wide range of fiber arts experiences from visiting sheep farms to knitting techniques and everything in between!

The Tour Guide, Tour Driver, and the well-organized trip of Ireland made this trip fantastic. I would highly recommend Knitting Tours. Booking process, staff, hotels, venues, lessons, sight-seeing, shopping, were all terrific. Most special was going to the farm to see sheep and working border collies. So fun and special.

I enjoyed the Best of Shetland tour for the most part. There are a few areas, like the food in Shetland, that could use a little improvement. Otherwise the tour was fantastic. We visited many great places and yarn stores. The classes were informative. Communication from the tour group was great.

I was a non knitter ´ on the tour. Our guide made sure I had a selection of activities available during learning sessions, and checked up on us regularly. She was diligent in assuring I had a great experience.

I just returned from a 10-day tour of Ireland with knittingtours.com. It was a really incredible experience. Our guide, Freda O'Dea, was absolutely fantastic. She shared so much about Irish culture and music and politics and geography of where we were in history that it really made the trip so very special. We had multiple workshops with incedible knitters in Dublin, Inishmore and Belfast (among others) and got just a myriad of experience. It was so easy because they set up all the hotels, the transfers and a lot of the meals and the coach took us wherever we needed to go. We communicated with Nuala before the tour and she was great at working out any issues. Our coach driver, Beata, was amazing at maneuvering the bus through the tiny streets and some of the little towns. We had a group of 28 people, including four husbands, and the group was really super friendly and nice. It made for a very pleasant experience. I'm looking forward to taking another tour next year and can't recommend it highly enough.

KnittingTours.com has provided me with three wonderful tours in the British Isles. My latest one, April 2026, was the Art of Aran with Edel MacBride as the featured instructor. The time with Edel was most enjoyable and educational. I would love to spend more time learning knitting skills from her. Our tour manager Freda and driver Pat herded our group of 24 well to the wide variety of places we visited during our tour. I will not hesitate to travel with Knittingtours again. *****

Our Knitting trip was absolutely fabulous. In 10 days of travel there really wasn't a bad moment. The hotels chosen were great, food was scrumptious, and all the activities were really above expectation. We all wi11 never forget our knitting time and other adventures on Inis Mor in the Aran Islands. Totally unique!

Our great bus driver really cared for our safety and did a great job of keeping us safe.

Besides our knitting adventures, we enjoyed baking at Howth castle, the Vintage Tea bus, making a silver ring at Silverworks, woolen mills, sheep excursions, and distillery adventures. Everything was well planned executed.
