winter wanders: an estonian knitting retreat
I was so excited to go on this trip to Estonia and it exceeded my expectations! The other travelers and Fiber Ambassadors were wonderful, and I loved learning about traditional crafts from the remarkable women who are working to restore these after Soviet repression.

wool & wonders of iceland
It exceeded my expectations! The itinerary was thoughtfully prepared and fiber ambassadors were super, along with Barbara our driver! We covered alot of geography and learned alot about the people and history of Iceland while still hitting the marks on fiber. A wonderful variety on fiber-class given by a local professor, sheep herding, yarn mill, spinning, weaving, knitting and don't forget shopping! It was a wonderful trip and included such a nice variety of people interested in fiber arts, all were very welcoming!

midsummer knitting in norway with starlight knitting society
Our trip to Norway was the trip of a lifetime! The destination, food and community we created were all spectacular. Rowan Tree planned and executed everything in such a great way that this truly felt like a vacation and we could sit-back, knit, and enjoy the view of the fjords.

cotswolds walking holiday
It was our first ever mother and daughter trip AND our first time going on a group tour. WE LOVED IT! As fiber artists who knit, spin, dye, and more we truly enjoyed exploring wool in the Cotswolds. Every aspect of our trip was fun. We enjoyed getting to know the other members in our group and our fiber guides were knowledgeable, friendly, and communicative. We especially appreciated the daily hikes and look forward to joining a future RTT walking tour again!

ireland through the maker's lens with yarn vt
My first solo travel experience was with Rowan Tree. I highly recommend them. The accommodations were lovely. The guides were knowledgeable, professional and approachable. The content was varied and interesting. The pace was good. We saw many things but didn't spend excessive time on the bus. Excellent all the way around! Thank you.

Meeting with local fiber ambassadors really makes you learn and feel a part of the country you’re visiting. And of course the yarn shopping!

Rowan Tree Travel did a wonderful job creating a dynamic and fun trip in Catalonia. It was a fantastic blend of fiber arts, culture, and amazing food! I would highly recommend this to anyone interested in visiting Spain with a wonderful group of people. The ambassadors on the trip are fabulous. Thank you for an unforgettable experience!

We had a great time in Oaxaca, Mexico, with Rowan Tree Travel and their ambassadors. Tours gave us a cultural experience on wool/fiber and food that delivered on the expectations we had. This is our second tour with RTT and both have given us lifetime memories.
