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!

Don't let the title Knitting Tour put… Don't let the title Knitting Tour put you off.For anyone wanting a great tour of Ireland and the Arran isles I can certsinly recommend this one.The knitting is an added bonus.Tour Guide Jane is one of the best with so much local and historical info.Plus she tried hard to teach us the Irish language.Kenny managed the coach like a rally driver.He negotiated streets and lanes brilliantly. Workshops were interesting and varied with good tutors.The accommodation could not be faulted.The group was a good mix of nationalities and knitting experience.Weather was kind to us.

A delightful, informative experience This is the fourth Knitting Tours trip I have taken. This tour met the expectations set be the previous three. Tour guide June was knowledgeable and a pleasure to be around; the couch drivers Jim and Graeme were experts at navigating the narrow streets and tight parking lots, all with a great sense of humor. The tour itself was a good mix of history and sharing the knowledge of expert instructors. The food in the hotels and the various lunch stops was mostly excellent--if there's a criticism, it's that the portions were large, with wonderful desserts! I think we would have liked more opportunities to visit yarn shops. We had a few really good ones, but I don't think there could ever be too many opportunities! Overall it was a delightful, informative experience.

Just get on a plane and join Knitting… Just get on a plane and join Knitting Tours! Upon landing you will be taken care of by their thoughtful and experienced staff in each of their tours. I have been on three tours; Northern Ireland, Scotland, and Scotland & Shetland, all more amazing than the last. Can't wait to see what's next! 😚😚😚

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.
