Wonderful Experience
II had a wonderful experience with the Knitting Tours company and had a great time in Madrid. Everything was meticulously planned and executed. There was enough time for self exploration as well. I liked hotel, food, tours, and knitting classes. The tour guide was wonderful.
Don't be afraid
I was very hesitant to go on this tour because of health issues. Everyone from the company, the hotels, and the restaurants was very accommodating and I had an incident-free tour. It was the trip of a lifetime for me. Thank you to Knitting Tours and especially to Pauline our guide.
Knitting Tours Trip to Madrid
Our Patty Lyons knitting tour trip to Madrid was an amazing experience from start to finish. The hotel, the mix of knitting and tourist activities, and especially the trip to Wooldreamers were just terrific. The food was very good, the tapas cooking night was a blast, and I am so grateful that the trip included a day in Toledo. Our tour manager and bus driver were both wonderful, and I would be eager to go on another adventure with Knitting Tours.
The Perfect Week in Madrid
Everything was well planned and having time to explore was wonderful! From the cooking experience to visiting the wool farm and winery all was fun with delicious meals of traditional food.
Very confident with KnittingTours
Itinerary was well planned, enough time on our own, good assortment of cultural visits, awesome hotel and its location. I felt confident and safe with our tour guide and bus driver. I will book again with KnittingTours.com.
