An inspiring trip! I came for the knitting workshops, and left in awe of the many creative designers Shetland has produced. The visits to the designers were inspiring. Everything was planned to perfection. The accommodations and meals were very good. The people in Shetland were warm, friendly and helpful. The tour manager and bus driver were wonderful. The farewell dinner I will remember for the rest of my life. When I missed a connection, Irish Tourism was very helpful in getting us connected with the tour. All in all it was a first class experience.

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!

First trip wth knittingtours.com First trip wth knittingtours.com. The 10 night tour in Ireland was great in part because of our fabulous guide Ann Marie Hayes and coach driver extraordinaire, Brian. Everything happened as planned and the weather cooperated so we were able to participate in the outdoor events such as Dun Aengus on Inish Mor and Slieve League. The knitting workshops and demonstrations were fun. I particularly enjoyed the visit to Mourne Aloacas. Definitely recommend this tour.

This was such a wonderful trip This was such a wonderful trip! It was well planned, with a great mix of knitting/craft experiences and site seeing. Our tour guide, Jane, was exceptional. She was knowledgeable, explained the sites and Ireland’s history and culture, and had a wonderful sense of humor. She managed to keep us on schedule seamlessly, and without being pushy. Our driver, Domenic, was splendid too. Highly recommended!

Individual attention. Individual attention by the instructor. Her knowledge enabled me to expand options for my knitting. The hotel, Lough Eske, was fantastic. Great rooms, staff interaction, and good food. I do wish the breakfast was laid out better, tho. I want to thank the office staff for their rapid responses to my questions. I would definitely use this company in the future.
