This was my second tour with Rowan Tree Travel, and it won't be my last. The tours are carefully curated and led by knowledgable and personable guides, and it is such a pleasure to travel with like-minded people!

A great learning opportunity both in the knowledge gained about the fibre history but also an opportunity to learn how fibre practitioners today ie the tour members are applying their fibre skills

I felt as if I entered a magical kingdom when we first arrived at The Faroe Islands. What a beautiful part of the world it is. I’m so grateful I had the opportunity to visit!

murder, she knit: a woolly whodunit across devon & cornwall
This is the first international knitting tour I’ve ever taken, and I Didn’t know what to expect. It Was amazing! Not only did we visit many local yarn shops, but we also explored gardens, cultural and historic places, markets, Seaside towns, and the accommodations were top notch! Traveling was easy and the fiber ambassadors were knowledgeable and helpful and other people on the tour were a delight! On day three of this tour, I went to their website to see if they had any availability for future tours! I am ready to go, and next time I will bring an extra suitcase for all the yarn that I will buy!

RRT found the cultural and local treasures of Cornwall that I could have never found with my own research. They clearly scouted the trip and know their audience. While I'm not really into murder mysteries, they made it so much fun, I really got into it. Go even if you're not a mystery buff.

The Wool Lovers Tour of the North of England was an excellent mix of the history of wool and cotton from cottage industry to industrial mills, the local sheep breeds, current fibre and textile makers and plenty of opportunities to see and purchase wool and related items for knitting projects.

Highly recommend any Rowan Tree Travel Trip with Sydney and Irina! I was fully able to immerse myself in the joy of traveling to Switzerland, Germany, and unique side excursions. Thoroughly enjoyed traveling with friends, meeting new people, and making meaningful connections with fiber artists and designers ~ loved every minute! I couldn't have dreamed of a more positive experience. A.D.S.
