Wool & Whisky
This was a wonderful way to travel with my daughter & explore Scotland. Visits to small sheep/goat farms and meet the passionate folks who tend these flocks & produce beautiful yarn, was definitely a high light. It was lovely to meet fellow travellers as well as the friendly locals. I would highly recommend Rowan Tree Tours.

I would recommend this tour in a heartbeat! Hotels were lovely, the food was amazing, and the visits to members of the wool/artisan community - small sheep/goat farmers, dyers, etc. - were just a joy. Lindsay and Helen were wonderful guides/hosts. Every day brought with it a new adventure, memories, and photo opportunities! Also a really interesting, friendly, and enthusiastic group of women. I would definitely do another Rowan tour.

Our RTT trip to Shetland Islands was beyond my expectations - and this was my 4th RTT trip. We got to experience local culture and history in ways that are not otherwise accessible. Accommodations and food were wonderful and local. Could not find this anywhere else but RTT.

Trip to Norway was fabulous. Such knowledgeable guides, wonderful food, accommodations. Norway is such a beautiful Country. Memories and purchased yarn will last a lifetime!

I have been on several Rowan Tree Tours and they have all been fantastic. I love the balance of group time and time to explore or relax on my own. The accommodations and restaurants are chosen with care. And, the balance of fiber, culture and history are also managed perfectly. I am so glad I found this company to travel with.

This tour satisfied my curiosity about the Shetland Islands with a variety of cultural and historical activities with local knowledgeable guides. The knitting was fun, but so was meeting local knitters, seeing LOTS of Fair Isle knitting and of course shopping the incredible iconic Shetland wool. The accommodations and food were excellent. We even met some wonderful local musicians. Couldn’t ask for more.

I’ve traveled with different companies over twenty times some costing more some about the same. The focus on fiber while incorporating the culture and geography of the area is outstanding and has gotten better with each Rowan Tree adventure. Some companies remain good but this one seems to grow in sophistication while maintaining individual connections

I have never had anything but good things to say about Rowan Tree tours - the itinerary, the travel, the people! I look forward to my next tour. What a great way to visit places I haven’t been - with in depth cultural experiences plus fiber related activities. And the people I’ve met, both travelers and staff! Have been wonderful.

Best trip ever! Stunning scenery, lovely accommodations, fascinating history, multiple sheep breeds, great yarn to fondle (and even purchase), and a mix of cool and fun fellow-travelers.
