An Ionian Knitting Odyssey in Greece
I have traveled twice with Rowan Tree Travels and each time was a wonderfully curated experience with local experiences and cultural anchors. Rowan Tree provides care, consideration, and respect to the people and places we visit and to the travel participants. I treasure my trips!

Wool & Wonders of New Zealand
A wonderful trip with wonderful people! I had so many unique experiences that I would have never have discovered on my own, and met some real kindred spirits both on the tour and amongst the people we met in New Zealand. Well worth the cost.
Nicole B
Wool & Wonders of Iceland
This is a yarn lover's dream tour, in which you learn all about Icelandic wool and have plenty of opportunity to buy it. It is well paced and balanced with visits to non-yarn related sites and activities so I felt that I experienced Iceland. My non-knitting husband loved the tour, as well.

Ireland Through the Maker's Lens with Yarn VT
As a seasoned traveler, I can, without hesitation, say that the Ireland Through the Maker’s Lens is my all time favorite trip. The excursions, workshops, accommodations, food, and professionalism of the Rowan Tree team cannot be surpassed.
Catherine M
Textiles & Treasures of the Scottish Borders
It was a very enjoyable experience. Scotland and it's people are so beautiful and welcoming. The visits to a fiber festival, farms and mills were amazing! Our guide Lindsay and driver John helped make the trip extra special in so many ways!

Woolen Wales
My second trip with Rowan Tree and am already planning on traveling with them next year! Fabulous staff who are uber-accommodating and knowledgeable, local visits I would never find on my own, first-rate food and lodging, and a lovely and congenial group of fiber enthusiasts with whom to travel.

Textiles & Treasures of the Scottish Borders
Abbotsford and the Scottish Borders are peaceful and magical. The people are kind and welcoming. This trip was the rest and restoration I needed.

An Ionian Knitting Odyssey
An Ionian Knitting Odyssey was the trip of a lifetime. What a delightful way to explore so much of Greece! Heather is an incredibly organized and passionate Fiber Ambassador who skillfully shepherded us through a whirlwind of unique experiences: learning from a Kefalonian lace expert, exploring Mycenaean palace ruins, meeting the dyer for the trip's knit-a-long yarn, and more.

Midsummer Knitting in Norway with Starlight Knitting Society
Rowan Tree was hands down the best travel tour I’ve done (of any type). Great mix of knitting, yarn, cultural sites, adventure, and yarn shopping. Heather and Sydney were amazing tour leaders. I loved my fellow yarn enthusiast travelers! I’m already dreaming of my next Rowan Tree tour.

This trip more than fulfilled my expectations! The food and accommodations were fantastic. I highly recommend traveling with Rowan Tree!

Wool & Whisky: Highlands & Orkney Edition
My first trip in a long time and it was worth every nickel(or pence)-every time I mention the trip my husband says I'm still in Scotland- Our ambassadors were caring and attentive-over the top in helping when needed-and I know so much more about Scotland now

Midsummer Knitting in Norway with Starlight Knitting Society
My tour with Rowan Tree Travel is the best gift I have ever given myself!
Culture, natural beauty, community and of course fiber were in abundance and I am grateful to have experienced Norway in this way for the first time. I’m already dreaming about my next adventure and hope to travel like this on many more occasions.
