Janice Marquardt , Van Meter, IA - Ireland was beautiful and our tour manager was absolutely excellent! She approached everything with grace and patience and good humor.
Joanne Rinaldi , Toms River, NJ - Our Craftours Ireland Experience was the BEST vacation I've ever had. The tour itself was absolutely amazing - we stayed in such beautiful areas of Ireland, and the people were all so nice. Our tour guide, Agnes Warren, was the perfect guide, with a great sense of humor, as was our Craftours driver, Dominick. We learned so much from Agnes and Dominick about the areas we visited and the history of Ireland. I would highly recommend a Craftours experience to everyone - very professional guide and driver, the hotels we stayed at were beautiful, and the places we visited were beautiful!
Rita D'Alonzo , Port Washington, NY - I enjoyed the tour immensely. Anges was great and Dominick, our bus driver, gave us the history of Ireland from the beginning to present time. Plus, he is a fantastic driver on the two lane country roads.
Tammy Price , Meadville, PA - Ireland was fabulously beautiful! Our tour guide and bus driver were delightful!
Margaret Lee , La Crosse, WI - Ireland has always been on my bucket list and this tour gave me a chance to experience Ireland and let someone else do the planning. We were in excellent hands with Agnes as our guide. Dominic was superb as the coach driver and was very engaging in his commentary.
Darlene Bloss , Toms River, NJ - I had the time of my life! All the accommodations were great and everyone was very friendly and helpful. We visited so many interesting sights and there were stories to go with each one.
Sheila Frey , Marathon, WI - The tour was a lovely experience to get a mix of gardens, castles and country feel in a week. More than an appetizer tour, but less intensive than a study.
Mary Jo Crawford , Milwaukee, WI - Tour was wonderful. Thirty very nice people and we all got along and had a great time.
Melissa Hall , Oxford, MS - Agnes Warren is an extraordinary tour guide. She knows and loves her home country. She's smart, funny, flexible, and innovative. Our driver, Dominick shared his knowledge of Irish history as he drove which enhanced the trip tenfold. Not to mention, he was a fantastic driver of a very large vehicle on very twisty roads. Tamara Kelly is one of the country's foremost experts in crochet and a gifted teacher to boot. This trip succeeded because these three experts gave it their all!
Laura Jack , Louisville, KY - Agnes and Dom were consummate guides teaching us about the history and culture of each city and attraction we visited. As an added bonus, I learned the etymology of several words and phrases that we use in our everyday conversations. The hotels were top-notch and comfortable. I enjoyed walking the beautiful grounds of the hotel during our stay in Galway. The staff at each hotel were polite and friendly. I had a wonderful time with the classes we participated in and enjoyed learning about the history of bobbin lace. The dry felting class was a great way to get out some tiredness by repeatedly stabbing our art piece. Having Tamara show us various techniques was really helpful in making our Irish Adventure Bag. I look forward to completing it and then showing it off. I thoroughly enjoyed our trip to the sheep farm, and admired the skill and discipline of the border collie as he obeyed each command the shepherd spoke. It is amazing how well they can hear. Petting the lambs and watching my friends feed and hold them was a highlight. Visiting the peat bogs was enlightening. I have often heard of the bogs, but had never seen them. The ground was quite squishy. I enjoyed learning about the weaving process and taking whoa from sheep to yarn. The gentleman was very patient and answered all of our questions. Agnes was funny and kept us guessing what would happen next as things inevitably changed. Visiting the yarn shops was awesome. The walk around each of the cities we either stayed in or visited proved charming. Eating the local fare and hearing live music was icing on the cake. Overall, I loved my trip.
Andee Graves , Jamestown, CO - It was such a fun-filled time. So many cool things to see and do. My only complaint was how fast the week went past.
Laurie Manning , Jacksonville, FL - We had a wonderful time in Ireland and enjoyed all the stops on our tour, our tour guide, our driver, our planned activities, and our workshops.
Cheryl Howe , Albany, OH - As my first CrafTour vacation I did not know what to expect. 100% satisfaction is what I found. Their guides were kind, attentive, responsive, and hilarious! Their locations and attractions visited were top notch.
Dana Shaw , Ammon, ID - This was such a great tour. Ireland was just absolutely beautiful in more ways than one. Breathtaking sites and castles and coastline. And the sheep were sooo cute just to add. It was a trip where I did not want to come home from. I could have stayed much longer to see more of the country. This trip left me wanting more!
Victoria Schwab , Hamilton, OH - Oh, wow... Where to begin? The music! The castles! The scones! The pubs! My trip to Ireland with Craftours and Jenny Doan was the stuff of which dreams are made. With the incomparable Jim West as our energetic, entertaining, and attentive travel manager and the unbelievably skilled Lee as our affable, solicitous, and accommodating driver we were in excellent hands from start to finish. The itinerary was planned perfectly and even the couple of small changes that were made went smoothly and without conflict or complaint. Though the Emerald Isle is usually known for rain and cloudy skies, our tour was blessed with the unheard of joy of endless sunshine and clear, blue heavens. Every. Single. Day. Wish I could give Jim the credit for that, buuut... LOL I can't thank Jenny, Craftours, and Kerry Coaches enough for bringing to life a place that has beckoned my heart since I was small. We all formed what I hope are lasting friendships, and now that a little birdie has told me a reunion tour may be in the works in the not too distant future all I can say is "Count me in!"
Jocelyne Bourque , Ottawa Canada - This being my first trip with Craftour and also my first time in Ireland. I enjoyed the trip very much.
Cheryl Prince , Colorado Springs, CO - This was by far the best trip I have ever been on! It was a great group of people, a great guide in Jim West and the best bus driver in Lee! It was a wonderful mix of sight seeing, tours, shopping and free time! Love love loved it! Would do it again!
Judy Read , Vars Canada - I loved Ireland and am very glad I visited. The people were superb, everyone willing to smile and help and be flexible. As quilters usually are.
Mary Sue Erven , Bonita Springs, FL - The Craftours of Ireland was outstanding. The company was very professional and sensitive to the wants of the entire group. I’ve been on many trips and I will definitely use Craftours in the future.
Melinda Wellman , Bradenton, FL - I'm part Irish and visiting Ireland has always been on my bucket list. I loved the castles and countrysides of England and figured Ireland would be beautiful as well. The trip exceeded our expectations.
Allen Lee , Monroe, NC - Excellent tour, excellent guide and bus driver, good hotel in Galway(great hotels in Killarney and Dublin), great food. All in all, a very good experience.
Peggy Woodhall , Macon, GA - This tour was great! The various gardens were in beautiful condition and the castles were fascinating! Our tour guide and bus driver were very knowledgeable and added tremendously to the experience!
Rhonda Denney , Emporia, KS - Another winner! I loved all the sights (and sites) in our adventure! It was sad to see it end!
Julie Bohnsack , Carbondale, IL - I thought it was a lovely trip. We got to see and experience so many things. Our guide and our bus driver were excellent and went out of their way to provide us with the best experience in Ireland.
Deb Kipp , Gillette, WY - This was an absolutely wonderful experience. The sights/activities included were great and I enjoyed them all.
Julie Knebel , Eugene, OR - I fell in love with Northern Ireland! Rolling green fields, sweet lambs, friendly people with a great sense of humor. If I were 60 years younger I’d like to be a Galway Girl!
Nancy Mundschenk , Carbondale, IL - This trip exceeded my expectations from start to finish. The trip was well-planned to include many of the must-sees of Ireland. From the Titanic Museum to the Cliffs of Moher and all the stops on the way to Dublin we heard fascinating details of the history, traditions, culture and yes, the spirit of Ireland! All the details of the trip were well-planned and yet we had time built in to explore on our own or in smaller groups. The optional cooking class with Catherine Fulvio was marvelous. I felt a bit like I was on an episode of The Great British Baking Show. The hotels were beautifully appointed and situated in locations that allowed personal excursions or just a walk in the area. The delicious Irish breakfast was plenty to hold me over for hours. The welcome and farewell dinners were excellent, and the tea was an amazing treat with a selection and quality so impressive I took a pic of the menu to share with family and friends. And what can I say about the pubs---singing, lifting a pint, and sharing with locals was magical. SLAINTE! Our travel manager, Agnes Warren, was outstanding. It will be hard for any subsequent trip I take to equal this one.
Susan Pearlman , Carbondale, IL - This trip provided great value for the cost, with so many outstanding experiences included.
Susan Goldstein , Morristown, NJ - Very good span of worthwhile sights to visit.
Grace Lents , Raleigh, NC - The trip surpassed my expectations.
Ann Hothem , Newcomerstown, OH - Beautiful people and countryside!

Jeff Kreide , Pooler, GA - Our tour to Ireland was fantastic!! We had great weather, a great guide, Jim West, a fantastic driver and a super group of people. The scenery was unbelievable and varied from the north to the south and even east to west. Hotels were great and to my surprise the food was really good, not to mention the beer.
Chris Kreide , Pooler, GA - Our Craftours Ireland Experience was full of laughter and surprises.
Patricia Parr , Buckeye, AZ - What a wonderful week in Ireland! I'm 73, traveled alone but made many, many wonderful friends on my trip. The hotels in Galway and Dublin were first class and I couldn't have felt safer. Our bus driver was top notch and I can't say enough about our wonderful travel manager, Alice. She too care of all of us like we were her children! Resting up now and waiting for my trip to Bali in June. Thank you all for what you do!!
Viki and Linn West , Yachats, OR - Fun tour; though it provided a good variety of sites we visited. Alice was a great "house mother" and Pat shared some good history and stories. The accommodations were nice. All together a worthwhile trip.
Imogene Musso , Thornton, CO - The trip was wonderful.
Janet Parker , Atwater, MN - Friendly people, I felt completely safe.
Kathie Chapman , Sequim, WA - It was a wonderful trip. Even though it rained (reminded me of Seattle), the Irish countryside and people were very welcoming and beautiful.
Tiffin Kreger Bryant , Charlotte, NC - There were some very special moments during our Ireland tour, which were totally enhanced by our enchanting guide, Agnes. We loved the cliffs of Moher, and the Burren, as well as the entire day to Kylemore Abbey-we could've spent the entire day there! And, of course, the weather was INCREDIBLE so that made the experience all the better. The Bunratty Castle dinner was REALLY fun, all that went really enjoyed the food and the experience! Also-I can not recommend Catherine Fulvio's cooking school enough! I absolutely loved spending time with her! Making Irish scones and then having tea in her family's farmhouse-it was all magical! We loved the Wicklow area! Also, the Avoca tour was unique and endearing for a number of reasons-Jim the guide was so fun, passionate about the history and work-it is their 300 year celebration, so seeing that work come to fruition AND having an extraordinary moment with Jim and his truly generous Irish spirit-was just one of many treasured moments! Galway is a vibe-it just is-we enjoyed walking the streets and everything being a "10 minute walk" if you hit water you've gone too far... We loved the tour and especially enjoyed our time with the brilliantly witty Agnes.
Ann Rogers , Plainfield, NH - This trip was amazing. We had traveled with Alice Ridge and Crafttours before so we knew this trip would be great. The castle tours were great. The crafts offered were fun and the scone making class with Catherine Fluvoli was so much fun.
Diane Halinski , Grimsby, Canada - I waited three years for the Ireland tour due to Covid, it was worth the wait. Alice, the tour guide, is the best. The tour went off without a hitch. We saw many beautiful sites, toured castles, cliffs and had several craft experiences. I would highly recommend a trip to Ireland with craft tours anytime.
Megan Esmailka , Galena, AK - Loved the experience and the new friendships I made. I really enjoyed Agnes, she was very knowledgeable and did a great job.
Marchon Miller , Sparks, NV - I enjoyed my trip very much. All the activities were wonderful and our tour director, Agnes, was awesome!
Kerre Cardwell , Macomb, MI - I enjoyed the experience very much. I enjoyed the varied sights we visited and the local shops showing us their craftsmanship. I saw sights I might never have found on my own. We also had plenty of free time.
Harriet Carlo , Galena, AK - This wonderful trip was well planned and provided plenty of excursions and shopping time and even time for exploring on your own. Agnes, the travel manager, helped some of the other travelers book their own side excursions. She is absolutely the best! Our bus driver was engaging and witty. Very helpful with all kinds of information.
Dianna Cacciabaudo , Sparks, NV - The tour I took to Ireland was very organized and I had a great time. Our tour leader, Agnes, was a delightful person who was very knowledgeable about the country, the history and the people of Ireland. The tour sites that were included were awesome!
Teri Madden , Egg Harbor, WI - This craft tour was wonderful, except for the rain. Got washed out a few times but we got to witness Ireland first hand.
Brock Rasmussen , Marshalltown, IA - I thought it was great! I loved the countryside. Not a big fan of the city but the countryside was great.
Kit Turner , Pinole, CA - We absolutely loved touring Ireland with Craftours. So many wonderful memories and experiences! My mother and I traveled together; she has some mobility issues and uses a walker, and I was so pleased to see the care and thoughtfulness with which she was treated. Sometimes traveling with a walker presents real challenges, but our tour guide Agnes and our bus driver Pat went out of their way to make sure she felt included at all times and able to enjoy all stops. That really made a big difference to us. Thank you so much! Beyond the kindness and hospitality we were shown throughout Ireland, we were also delighted by the choice and variety of tour stops we made. We got to experience quite a lot of Ireland's natural beauty in just a week, and created some wonderful crafts that we will treasure!
Lisa Kline , Ormond Beach, FL - Thoroughly enjoyed our trip to Ireland. Hotels and transportation to and from Dublin were excellent .I could have spent more days in and around the Galway area and less time in Dublin. The countryside and people of Ireland were fantastic. I would highly recommend your tour.
Charlotte Shell , Spokane, WA - We had such a wonderful time in Ireland! Our guide, Agnes, and bus driver, Patrick, were phenomenal. Their knowledge of the areas we drove through and visited was wonderful., and their humor was delightful. Since the tour had an underlying craft theme, our group of strangers had a joint appreciation of the needle arts and soon became a family. Thank you Craftours for a brilliant and lovely experience.
Diane Black, Colorado Springs, CO - "I had a wonderful time. There was a nice combination of city and rural countryside. Holly did a great job as did Shawn, both were delightful to work with.

Sheri Knox, San Diego, CA - "This was a fantastic tour! We covered so much ground and loved Ireland so much. We circumnavigated the entire island experiencing so many different cities and towns and breathtaking landscapes. I was thrilled that the tour included Belfast – in past years, I never thought I would be able to travel there in my lifetime. I loved that so many of the places we visited were on the water. The tours offered enhanced the experience, and we had some time when we could schedule something additional, like a Black Taxi tour in Belfast (a must!), and a horse-drawn buggy ride and Whiskey tasting in Killarney. The people are delightful and charming, the food and drink (love that Irish Whiskey!) delicious and the shopping is endless and varied. I would encourage anyone to do this wonderful 14-day tour!"
Joan Ternovan, Akron, OH - "A great opportunity to see the majority of the country."
Sue McCullion, Philadelphia, PA - "The Ireland Experience has peaked my interest in returning to Ireland in the near future. Since we literally circled the entire Ireland, I found the topography so beautiful and so distinct. A highlight of the tour was that we made a stop in Donegal and on the way we passed right through the town where my father was born ... Ballybofey!"
Gail Warnes, Ashland, OH - "I loved traveling around Ireland and seeing the natural wonders like The Giant’s Causeway and The Cliffs of Moher as well as the charming villages and the beautiful countryside. The dry stone walls in the north and east and the hedgerows in the south made the farmland memorable. The castles/palaces and cathedrals were beautiful. The crystal carving was amazing, and our cookery class making scones was really fun."
Melody Cox, Raytown, MO - "Gorgeous country filled with friendly people!"

I found it relaxed enough to allow free time for our group of 25 in Bus #1. Our tour guide Agnes (genuine Irish gal) was perfect in making sure things went as planned... we also got an extra guide with Hika who was helping out. The group crafts were a lot of fun. Also, shopping at stores and having tours of the local Irish factories was a delight. Our bus driver Brendon was such a good driver, and helpful. I enjoyed talking to people in my group, and came away inspired by a few who were 70-80’s and had amazing courage and spirit to travel so far from home. To top it off... the weather was beautiful! a win win.."
Cindy Miller, Athens, AL - "This was my first tour and I couldn’t have been more impressed. Everyone was so nice and welcoming. The tour was well balanced with activities and free time and the tour group leader and driver were well informed and very approachable. It was like being on tour with your friends.

Carolyn Waller, Midlothian, VA - "I’ve traveled and lived overseas, but always with family or a partner, and never with a tour. I was a bit nervous about being a single traveler and letting them arrange a roommate, but honestly, this was the best trip ever! Even before leaving JFK, I connected with fellow travelers, including my tour escort, Holly. I was immediately put at ease. From that moment onward, the name of the game was FUN! I never felt a moment’s nervousness or awkwardness. My fellow travelers were fun, inclusive, and interesting. I no longer feel a need to hit "pause" on my bucket list ventures, waiting for a travel partner, as I can travel "alone" and know with Craftours, I’ll never be lonely! I’ve already booked Tuscany and am planning on Kenya after that! I’m loving living life out loud with Craftours!"
Kelly Anne Erben, Eureka, CA - "The 2018 Craft Tour to Ireland exceeded my expectations. Besides the beautiful scenery and the great food, I was truly impressed with the camaraderie developed in meeting crafters of like mind from all over the United States. If you did this trip on your own, you would miss this sense of belonging."
Kim Stirrett, Leander, TX - "Ireland was very interesting and not at all what I expected. Very wild country with beautiful coastal areas. People were very friendly and informative. I appreciated the history and age of the country. As our driver said, you can’t get lost in Ireland for long.... it is an Island! You can only go so far."
Candy Snipes, Mobile, AL - "We loved every minute of our tour of Ireland and plan to go on another Craftours trip!"
Jennifer Williams, Crittenden, KY - "Overall, I highly recommend a Craftour! It had a good balance of hands-on and observation, free time and set tour time, early and late. I haven’t traveled outside of Canada/Mexico before, so this tour felt very safe and had enough structure to make me feel like I wasn’t alone. The instructors for the craft projects were extremely high quality and each lesson FAR exceeded my expectations, creating a meaningful memory of my trip to Ireland."

Jennifer, - "I thoroughly enjoyed this trip; it provided the perfect introduction to Ireland and its history."
Cathy Pharr, Hedgesville, WV - "What a great trip! The classes were fun, well taught and inspiring.Our lodging and meals were top notch.

The places that we visited, the artisans that shared their knowledge and passions with us were incredible. Our bus driver and tour guide combo were amazing!

Susan Morance, Chapel Hill, NC - "I enjoyed the Photography Expedition in Ireland very much. I learned a lot from the escort. The itinerary was excellent as were our hotels. Our driver Pat added a great deal to the enjoyment of the trip with all the commentary he provided about Ireland as well as his excellent sense of humor. Overall I found the trip extremely enjoyable."
Jill Gohr, Virginia Beach, VA - "Although I am not a quilter, the 2 friends that invited me, are quilters and have had several classes. I immediately felt comfortable and welcomed. It was the country I was interested in and I was not disappointed! Our tour guide Pat, was 1 in a million and his knowledge base was detailed and endless, as was his sense of humor! I would travel anywhere with him as a guide. I would go again in a heartbeat! Further, I would recommend this expedition to anyone interested in seeing and learning about Ireland. The trip and accommodation were first class from start to finish. Nothing was left to chance.I rarely had to deal with the beast (my huge suitcase) and even then, it was only to put it in outside my door, to be handled by leprechauns! I could add so much more, but hopefully my point is made ~ the trip and everyone that made it happen, was fabulous!"
Diane and Ronnie Herrington, Dripping Springs, TX - "Such an incredible trip with my brother and sister in law and all the new friends we made along the way."

Penny Harvey, Rock Springs, WY - "This trip was amazing. I was so pleased at all we were able to see and the way everything came together.

Christyne Mills, Rancho Cordova, CA - "It was the experience of a lifetime. I don’t think this could ever be duplicated due to the combination of people involved. Our guide, Holly & driver, Pat, were so great. They even went out of their way to get us tickets to the Celtic Steps show which was amazing."
Diana Sillence, Lutz, FL - "The trip was more than I could have hoped for and was jamb packed full of sight-seeing, shopping, experiencing the culture through music and knowing Ireland’s history. Patrick was awesome in telling the history with his side jokes! The first reason I signed up was for the craft project but thread so much more!! Yes, I loved it and would love to return someday!!"

Jill Lombard, Carlsbad, CA - """I was on the Ireland tour in Summer of 2013 with Bonnie Hunter. I can’t say enough about the wonderful experience I had. Examples include having Craftours arrange a roommate for me (a dear lady from Canada), arranging my air reservations, seating me next to ""new"" friends, being met at the airport by the most charming coach drivers, arranging truly ""first class"" accommodation in every town, offering wonderful sightseeing opportunities and historical information.
As with any major undertaking such as planning and executing a trip of this magnitude ""hiccups"" do happen. I was so impressed with the staff of Craftours. When problems arose there was always one and often more to the ""rescue"" to make things right.
I have recommended Craftours to all my quild friends and would love the opportunity to take more (and more) trips!"""
Barbara Stanbro, Hillsboro, OR - "I attended the International Quilt Festival of Ireland in 2012, and I had a fabulous time.

Since our trip, every Christmas I hang ornaments on our tree that were swapped with fellow travelers... wool boots from Russia, a star from France and an Angel from New Zealand to name a few. The venues, traveling (great bus driver!), food, accommodation, all of it couldn’t be better. After arriving home, my husband and I agreed that we could not have planned it better than Craftours."
Trena Stephens, Missouri City, TX - """What a great trip to the IQFOI in June of 2012! Our coach driver/tour guide was fun & entertaining. The accommodation were luxurious & comfortable. The food was fabulous.

There were plenty of events for my husband to sign up and do while I was at the quilt show so he was happy and having fun too. The quilt show was great fun and I took a wonderful class there from a native Irish woman, using all Irish wools. We had the time of our lives and would love to go again - SOON! Thank you Craftours!"

Jan Bechle, Albany,Oregon - "In April of 2010, I traveled to Ireland with Craftours. I was with three friends, two of us were celebrating our retirement. The night we flew to Ireland was the same night the volcano blew in Iceland stopping all air traffic in Europe and across the Atlantic for a week. Craftours planned ahead, making arrangements for us to stay on in Dublin if we needed to at a very reasonable rate. The flying ban was lifted the day we were to leave and we were delighted to be able to leave on time.
The entire trip was very well organized. We had a delightful bus driver, interesting tours and the time to do some wandering on our own. The four of us had a wonderful time and made new friends. I wouldn’t hesitate to travel with them again."
Suzanne Novoselac, Coulterville, IL - "My daughter and I went on the trip to Ireland in 2008, and we had a completely wonderful time! My daughter does not sew or quilt, but she does do other forms of needlework, and she enjoyed herself very much. I’m a knitter and crocheter, and I enjoyed the trips to the woolen mill at Blarney and the weaving at Acoa (sp) near Dublin. Our tour host was excellent, we loved our bus driver, and both of us want to buy a place at the Dingle Peninsula! All in all, it was a never-to-be forgotten experience, and we are both just dying to go to Ireland again!"

Sally Mack , Guernsey, WY - It was everything I hoped for. Seeing that fantastic countryside -good weather helped- the iconic structures, whether castle or Croft, the craft people were incredible and our bus driver/guide, laAdele, and participants were fun and enjoyable.
Strawser Lucie , Oakland Park, FL - Our tour guide Holly was really great. She kept us on track the whole time.

Janice Marquardt , Van Meter, IA - Ireland was beautiful and our tour manager was absolutely excellent! She approached everything with grace and patience and good humor.
Joanne Rinaldi , Toms River, NJ - Our Craftours Ireland Experience was the BEST vacation I've ever had. The tour itself was absolutely amazing - we stayed in such beautiful areas of Ireland, and the people were all so nice. Our tour guide, Agnes Warren, was the perfect guide, with a great sense of humor, as was our Craftours driver, Dominick. We learned so much from Agnes and Dominick about the areas we visited and the history of Ireland. I would highly recommend a Craftours experience to everyone - very professional guide and driver, the hotels we stayed at were beautiful, and the places we visited were beautiful!
Jackie Quatse , Neptune, NJ - I thoroughly enjoyed my craft Ireland tour. Agnes our guide and Dominick our driver were exceptional, Their knowledge and caring went over and above my expectations.

Tammy Price , Meadville, PA - Ireland was fabulously beautiful! Our tour guide and bus driver were delightful!

Melissa Hall , Oxford, MS - Agnes Warren is an extraordinary tour guide. She knows and loves her home country. She's smart, funny, flexible, and innovative. Our driver, Dominick shared his knowledge of Irish history as he drove which enhanced the trip tenfold. Not to mention, he was a fantastic driver of a very large vehicle on very twisty roads. Tamara Kelly is one of the country's foremost experts in crochet and a gifted teacher to boot. This trip succeeded because these three experts gave it their all!
Laura Jack , Louisville, KY - Agnes and Dom were consummate guides teaching us about the history and culture of each city and attraction we visited. As an added bonus, I learned the etymology of several words and phrases that we use in our everyday conversations. The hotels were top-notch and comfortable. I enjoyed walking the beautiful grounds of the hotel during our stay in Galway. The staff at each hotel were polite and friendly. I had a wonderful time with the classes we participated in and enjoyed learning about the history of bobbin lace. The dry felting class was a great way to get out some tiredness by repeatedly stabbing our art piece. Having Tamara show us various techniques was really helpful in making our Irish Adventure Bag. I look forward to completing it and then showing it off. I thoroughly enjoyed our trip to the sheep farm, and admired the skill and discipline of the border collie as he obeyed each command the shepherd spoke. It is amazing how well they can hear. Petting the lambs and watching my friends feed and hold them was a highlight. Visiting the peat bogs was enlightening. I have often heard of the bogs, but had never seen them. The ground was quite squishy. I enjoyed learning about the weaving process and taking whoa from sheep to yarn. The gentleman was very patient and answered all of our questions. Agnes was funny and kept us guessing what would happen next as things inevitably changed. Visiting the yarn shops was awesome. The walk around each of the cities we either stayed in or visited proved charming. Eating the local fare and hearing live music was icing on the cake. Overall, I loved my trip.
Deidra , Red Lion, PA - The Creative Crochet Experience was my first tour with Craftours, and to be honest, I was having doubts the few weeks leading up to the tour. Once the tour started, it was amazing! We had the perfect size group, and everyone got along so well. The planned stops and activities were great. I enjoyed the free time we had in the evening, and getting to know each other better. Overall it was a fantastic trip and experience, and I would do it again.
Laurie Manning , Jacksonville, FL - We had a wonderful time in Ireland and enjoyed all the stops on our tour, our tour guide, our driver, our planned activities, and our workshops.
Cynthia Mathieu , Santa Paula, Ca - The tour stops and sights were great. The hotels are very nice, comfortable and the staff friendly and helpful. The tour guide, Agnes Warren, was terrific. Informative, easy to work with, fun, knowledgeable and creative. The bus driver, Dominick, I think, was also very knowledgeable and informative about the places we drove through, places we visited and historical/social perspective.
Hannah , Tinker Air Force Base, OK - It was amazing! The group, Jim, even the bus driver Lee! We got to see everything I was looking forward to and more. I would go a hundred times over if I could. Amazing!!
Lisa Pinguelo , Granbury, TX - Well thought out and professional tour. However, it went way beyond this! Laughter and fun were the forerunner of every event, every site and experience. Jim West along with our driver met every expectation and went way above with their “we can do” attitude. This trip couldn’t have been better!
Cheryl Howe , Albany, OH - As my first CrafTour vacation I did not know what to expect. 100% satisfaction is what I found. Their guides were kind, attentive, responsive, and hilarious! Their locations and attractions visited were top notch.
Deb Redman , Newfield, NY - It was fun. Jenny and her family were so down to earth and friendly. All of the people on the trip bonded over similar interest quilting.
Victoria Schwab , Hamilton, OH - Oh, wow... Where to begin? The music! The castles! The scones! The pubs! My trip to Ireland with Craftours and Jenny Doan was the stuff of which dreams are made. With the incomparable Jim West as our energetic, entertaining, and attentive travel manager and the unbelievably skilled Lee as our affable, solicitous, and accommodating driver we were in excellent hands from start to finish. The itinerary was planned perfectly and even the couple of small changes that were made went smoothly and without conflict or complaint. Though the Emerald Isle is usually known for rain and cloudy skies, our tour was blessed with the unheard of joy of endless sunshine and clear, blue heavens. Every. Single. Day. Wish I could give Jim the credit for that, buuut... LOL I can't thank Jenny, Craftours, and Kerry Coaches enough for bringing to life a place that has beckoned my heart since I was small. We all formed what I hope are lasting friendships, and now that a little birdie has told me a reunion tour may be in the works in the not too distant future all I can say is "Count me in!"
Jocelyne Bourque , Ottawa Canada - This being my first trip with Craftour and also my first time in Ireland. I enjoyed the trip very much.
Cheryl Prince , Colorado Springs, CO - This was by far the best trip I have ever been on! It was a great group of people, a great guide in Jim West and the best bus driver in Lee! It was a wonderful mix of sight seeing, tours, shopping and free time! Love love loved it! Would do it again!

Gretchen Adams , Afton, NY - A fabulous experience guided by a knowledgeable local guide and driver. It exceeded my expectations.
Nancy Mundschenk , Carbondale, IL - This trip exceeded my expectations from start to finish. The trip was well-planned to include many of the must-sees of Ireland. From the Titanic Museum to the Cliffs of Moher and all the stops on the way to Dublin we heard fascinating details of the history, traditions, culture and yes, the spirit of Ireland! All the details of the trip were well-planned and yet we had time built in to explore on our own or in smaller groups. The optional cooking class with Catherine Fulvio was marvelous. I felt a bit like I was on an episode of The Great British Baking Show. The hotels were beautifully appointed and situated in locations that allowed personal excursions or just a walk in the area. The delicious Irish breakfast was plenty to hold me over for hours. The welcome and farewell dinners were excellent, and the tea was an amazing treat with a selection and quality so impressive I took a pic of the menu to share with family and friends. And what can I say about the pubs---singing, lifting a pint, and sharing with locals was magical. SLAINTE! Our travel manager, Agnes Warren, was outstanding. It will be hard for any subsequent trip I take to equal this one.
Barbara Mau , Carbondale, IL - I found the tour to be well-organized with details well taken care of from the time of booking the tour through the actual experience.

Joan McKenna , El Cajon, CA - The tour was fantastic. Jim West was our tour guide. Our coach drivers were wonderful and full of fun tidbits about each place we visited. I am planning on going on another tour to Japan, in 2025.
Patricia Parr , Buckeye, AZ - What a wonderful week in Ireland! I'm 73, traveled alone but made many, many wonderful friends on my trip. The hotels in Galway and Dublin were first class and I couldn't have felt safer. Our bus driver was top notch and I can't say enough about our wonderful travel manager, Alice. She too care of all of us like we were her children! Resting up now and waiting for my trip to Bali in June. Thank you all for what you do!!
Viki and Linn West , Yachats, OR - Fun tour; though it provided a good variety of sites we visited. Alice was a great "house mother" and Pat shared some good history and stories. The accommodations were nice. All together a worthwhile trip.
Karen Tholen , Roseland Prk, KS - This was my husband & my first Craftours trip & we enjoyed it so much! Everything was so well organized, our host, Agnes, was knowledgeable, fun & really cared about our small group of 7. Our bus driver, Pat, was an excellent tour guide too, as we drove all over the east & west coasts of Ireland. The hotels were 1st rate. I don’t know why more men don’t take these trips. We certainly will again!
Tiffin Kreger Bryant , Charlotte, NC - There were some very special moments during our Ireland tour, which were totally enhanced by our enchanting guide, Agnes. We loved the cliffs of Moher, and the Burren, as well as the entire day to Kylemore Abbey-we could've spent the entire day there! And, of course, the weather was INCREDIBLE so that made the experience all the better. The Bunratty Castle dinner was REALLY fun, all that went really enjoyed the food and the experience! Also-I can not recommend Catherine Fulvio's cooking school enough! I absolutely loved spending time with her! Making Irish scones and then having tea in her family's farmhouse-it was all magical! We loved the Wicklow area! Also, the Avoca tour was unique and endearing for a number of reasons-Jim the guide was so fun, passionate about the history and work-it is their 300 year celebration, so seeing that work come to fruition AND having an extraordinary moment with Jim and his truly generous Irish spirit-was just one of many treasured moments! Galway is a vibe-it just is-we enjoyed walking the streets and everything being a "10 minute walk" if you hit water you've gone too far... We loved the tour and especially enjoyed our time with the brilliantly witty Agnes.
Ann Rogers , Plainfield, NH - This trip was amazing. We had traveled with Alice Ridge and Crafttours before so we knew this trip would be great. The castle tours were great. The crafts offered were fun and the scone making class with Catherine Fluvoli was so much fun.
Diane Halinski , Grimsby, Canada - I waited three years for the Ireland tour due to Covid, it was worth the wait. Alice, the tour guide, is the best. The tour went off without a hitch. We saw many beautiful sites, toured castles, cliffs and had several craft experiences. I would highly recommend a trip to Ireland with craft tours anytime.

Barbara Kacer , Bowling Green, KY - This was a great trip. Our itinerary was well-planned and there was a good balance between planned events and free time.
Kit Turner , Pinole, CA - We absolutely loved touring Ireland with Craftours. So many wonderful memories and experiences! My mother and I traveled together; she has some mobility issues and uses a walker, and I was so pleased to see the care and thoughtfulness with which she was treated. Sometimes traveling with a walker presents real challenges, but our tour guide Agnes and our bus driver Pat went out of their way to make sure she felt included at all times and able to enjoy all stops. That really made a big difference to us. Thank you so much! Beyond the kindness and hospitality we were shown throughout Ireland, we were also delighted by the choice and variety of tour stops we made. We got to experience quite a lot of Ireland's natural beauty in just a week, and created some wonderful crafts that we will treasure!
Charlotte Shell , Spokane, WA - We had such a wonderful time in Ireland! Our guide, Agnes, and bus driver, Patrick, were phenomenal. Their knowledge of the areas we drove through and visited was wonderful., and their humor was delightful. Since the tour had an underlying craft theme, our group of strangers had a joint appreciation of the needle arts and soon became a family. Thank you Craftours for a brilliant and lovely experience.

I found it relaxed enough to allow free time for our group of 25 in Bus #1. Our tour guide Agnes (genuine Irish gal) was perfect in making sure things went as planned... we also got an extra guide with Hika who was helping out. The group crafts were a lot of fun. Also, shopping at stores and having tours of the local Irish factories was a delight. Our bus driver Brendon was such a good driver, and helpful. I enjoyed talking to people in my group, and came away inspired by a few who were 70-80’s and had amazing courage and spirit to travel so far from home. To top it off... the weather was beautiful! a win win.."
Cindy Miller, Athens, AL - "This was my first tour and I couldn’t have been more impressed. Everyone was so nice and welcoming.

I’m already planning another trip back to Ireland. I just fell in love with the people and the place."

Barbara Clark, Lexington, KY - "This was a wonderful experience. Our guide, Holly, was excellent. She was very attentive to our needs and always available.

I loved every minute of this adventure."

Carolyn Waller, Midlothian, VA - "I’ve traveled and lived overseas, but always with family or a partner, and never with a tour. I was a bit nervous about being a single traveler and letting them arrange a roommate, but honestly, this was the best trip ever! Even before leaving JFK, I connected with fellow travelers, including my tour escort, Holly. I was immediately put at ease. From that moment onward, the name of the game was FUN! I never felt a moment’s nervousness or awkwardness. My fellow travelers were fun, inclusive, and interesting. I no longer feel a need to hit "pause" on my bucket list ventures, waiting for a travel partner, as I can travel "alone" and know with Craftours, I’ll never be lonely! I’ve already booked Tuscany and am planning on Kenya after that! I’m loving living life out loud with Craftours!"
Kelly Anne Erben, Eureka, CA - "The 2018 Craft Tour to Ireland exceeded my expectations.

Candy Snipes, Mobile, AL - "We loved every minute of our tour of Ireland and plan to go on another Craftours trip!"
Jennifer Williams, Crittenden, KY - "Overall, I highly recommend a Craftour! It had a good balance of hands-on and observation, free time and set tour time, early and late. I haven’t traveled outside of Canada/Mexico before, so this tour felt very safe and had enough structure to make me feel like I wasn’t alone. The instructors for the craft projects were extremely high quality and each lesson FAR exceeded my expectations, creating a meaningful memory of my trip to Ireland."
Barb Peterson, Bremerton, WA - "I wouldn’t travel any other way, with any other tour group. Jim West puts together the best tours. I was busy as much as I wanted to be. The places we stopped were perfect for my arts and craft tastes. Everyone involved in making our tour great, Jim, our tour guide, the bus driver, and the people we visited, all made the trip fun, comfortable, and adventurous. I’d go again in a heartbeat."

Overall I found the trip extremely enjoyable."
Jill Gohr, Virginia Beach, VA - "Although I am not a quilter, the 2 friends that invited me, are quilters and have had several classes. I immediately felt comfortable and welcomed. It was the country I was interested in and I was not disappointed! Our tour guide Pat, was 1 in a million and his knowledge base was detailed and endless, as was his sense of humor! I would travel anywhere with him as a guide. I would go again in a heartbeat! Further, I would recommend this expedition to anyone interested in seeing and learning about Ireland. The trip and accommodation were first class from start to finish. Nothing was left to chance.I rarely had to deal with the beast (my huge suitcase) and even then, it was only to put it in outside my door, to be handled by leprechauns! I could add so much more, but hopefully my point is made ~ the trip and everyone that made it happen, was fabulous!"
Kathy Thompson, Virginia Beach, VA - "This trip certainly met all my expectations. It was superbly organized, had great accommodation, and had the most exceptional bus driver ever.

Julie Wickware, Clinton Twp, MI - "The escort gave excellent photography tips and the bus driver was exceptional with plenty of information and quips."
Kristine Sirmons, West Allis, WI - "I enjoyed the tour. Our bus driver Pat was wonderful and very knowledgeable about everything we were going to see, and had a great sense of humor. The hotels chosen were nice. Jim was fun to work with and worked together well. It would have been nice to have our itinerary before the trip, as I came to the country a couple days beforehand and didn’t know what we were going to see so I wasn’t sure what to plan for myself. But it was fun and I would book the tour again."
Leslie Kemper, Deer Park, WA - "This was my husband and I first trip to Europe. We enjoyed every part of the trip. The guide, Agnes and bus driver, Pat were well informed of the history of Ireland. The tours of each stop we made; the castles, wool mills, and evening excursions were wonderful. The hotel accommodation were excellent."
Christyne Mills, Rancho Cordova, CA - "It was the experience of a lifetime. I don’t think this could ever be duplicated due to the combination of people involved.

Sherry Kesselman, Albuquerque, NM - "This was my first trip over the Atlantic and because of having such a wonderful experience, will not be my last.

The hotels we stayed in were excellent - with all modern conveniences - and located in walkable areas. If asked to name my favorite site, I could not do it. Each one had its own unique way of giving me a little taste of Ireland’s cultures, history, and beauty. I thoroughly enjoyed it and would recommend it to anyone."
Cheyenne Moondancer, Longmont, CO - "We were treated FIRST RATE for the entire trip: the best hotels, the greatest food, the best tour guide, motor coach and driver-every day brought so many new and amazing opportunities to explore the culture of the land and to sample local heritage from every class and outing."
Maydean Tilton, Cibolo, TX - "I have to admit I was apprehensive about a tour as I have always traveled independently but my fears were unfounded.

Kris Young, Fredricksburg, VA - "This was my first tour - it was amazing. Our bus driver had a wealth of information that just made you want to squeeze his brain so you could get all that information. He was very professional and beyond nice! Craftours escort - she was like family. She ran a tight ship but in such a caring way and was able to get everyone where we needed to be. They both went out of their way to make sure we had a good time. They offered things that were not on the itinerary but on the way. They are both a major asset to Craftours and because of them, I would definitely book a tour with you again."
Diane Felice, St. Augustine, FL - "Since this was my first tour with any company, I am very pleased to have taken with Craftours!

Peggy Mott, San Antonio, Texas - "An informative, and entertaining tour. Our tour guide and the bus driver went over and above to see that we were entertained and well cared for.

Jessica Mileto, Glendale, New York - "The tour guides were amazing, they were so knowledgeable, friendly, easy-going and it helped that the entire trip was already planned and all I had to do was catch the bus in the morning.

Jill Lombard, Carlsbad, CA - """I was on the Ireland tour in Summer of 2013 with Bonnie Hunter. I can’t say enough about the wonderful experience I had. Examples include having Craftours arrange a roommate for me (a dear lady from Canada), arranging my air reservations, seating me next to ""new"" friends, being met at the airport by the most charming coach drivers, arranging truly ""first class"" accommodation in every town, offering wonderful sightseeing opportunities and historical information.
As with any major undertaking such as planning and executing a trip of this magnitude ""hiccups"" do happen. I was so impressed with the staff of Craftours. When problems arose there was always one and often more to the ""rescue"" to make things right.
I have recommended Craftours to all my quild friends and would love the opportunity to take more (and more) trips!"""
Barbara Stanbro, Hillsboro, OR - "I attended the International Quilt Festival of Ireland in 2012, and I had a fabulous time.

Dr. Jo Barnes, Hamilton, New Zealand - "This was my very first organized tour and I was a little apprehensive about spending 15 days with people I did not know with a tour company I had found by accident on the internet. BUT my friend Bev and I had an amazing time we had fun, we saw lots of new and exciting places, we visited some quilting stores and met some really nice people. The hotel accommodation were excellent, the bus was comfortable, and the meals were varied and of good quality. I would recommend Craftours tours every time and I am looking forward to the South American Expedition in 2015."
Nancy and Ken Burkhalter, Chelsea, MI - "My hubby and I had an absolutely wonderful trip sponsored by Craftours to tour Ireland and the 1st International Quilt Festival in Galway in 2012.

Since our trip, every Christmas I hang ornaments on our tree that were swapped with fellow travelers... wool boots from Russia, a star from France and an Angel from New Zealand to name a few. The venues, traveling (great bus driver!), food, accommodation, all of it couldn’t be better. After arriving home, my husband and I agreed that we could not have planned it better than Craftours."
Karen and Mike Holt, Grand Junction, CO - "My husband and I went on a Craftours Tour to Ireland for the International Quilt Festival in 2012 and LOVED it. We both had so much fun. The hotels we stayed in were marvelous, our bus driver and tour guide took such good care of us, Ireland is amazing, beautiful, and fun and the people are wonderful. There were plenty of events for my husband to sign up and do while I was at the quilt show so he was happy and having fun too. The quilt show was great fun and I took a wonderful class there from a native Irish woman, using all Irish wools. We had the time of our lives and would love to go again - SOON! Thank you Craftours!"

Jan Bechle, Albany,Oregon - "In April of 2010, I traveled to Ireland with Craftours. I was with three friends, two of us were celebrating our retirement. The night we flew to Ireland was the same night the volcano blew in Iceland stopping all air traffic in Europe and across the Atlantic for a week. Craftours planned ahead, making arrangements for us to stay on in Dublin if we needed to at a very reasonable rate. The flying ban was lifted the day we were to leave and we were delighted to be able to leave on time.
The entire trip was very well organized. We had a delightful bus driver, interesting tours and the time to do some wandering on our own. The four of us had a wonderful time and made new friends. I wouldn’t hesitate to travel with them again."
Janet North , Seminole, OK - A dream come true experience. New adventures every day. Hands on crafts, breathtaking scenery, local artisans, great food. Our tour guide, Margie, was so nice and friendly, she kept us on track. Dominick, our bus driver, was a drum of knowledge and a master of Irish history. Great trip!
Jackie Quatse , Neptune, NJ - I thoroughly enjoyed my craft Ireland tour. Agnes our guide and Dominick our driver were exceptional, Their knowledge and caring went over and above my expectations.
Mary Jane Cahill , Havelock, NC - As a person that isn't that knowledgeable about gardening. I found the experience with Melinda Myers and the rest of the tour group very helpful in sharing gardening knowledge and friendship.
Barbara Hess , Coal Center, FL - It was a wonderful experience and let me practice and expand my skills as a crocheted.
Melissa Hall , Oxford, MS - Agnes Warren is an extraordinary tour guide. She knows and loves her home country. She's smart, funny, flexible, and innovative. Our driver, Dominick shared his knowledge of Irish history as he drove which enhanced the trip tenfold. Not to mention, he was a fantastic driver of a very large vehicle on very twisty roads. Tamara Kelly is one of the country's foremost experts in crochet and a gifted teacher to boot. This trip succeeded because these three experts gave it their all!
Laura Jack , Louisville, KY - Agnes and Dom were consummate guides teaching us about the history and culture of each city and attraction we visited. As an added bonus, I learned the etymology of several words and phrases that we use in our everyday conversations. The hotels were top-notch and comfortable. I enjoyed walking the beautiful grounds of the hotel during our stay in Galway. The staff at each hotel were polite and friendly. I had a wonderful time with the classes we participated in and enjoyed learning about the history of bobbin lace. The dry felting class was a great way to get out some tiredness by repeatedly stabbing our art piece. Having Tamara show us various techniques was really helpful in making our Irish Adventure Bag. I look forward to completing it and then showing it off. I thoroughly enjoyed our trip to the sheep farm, and admired the skill and discipline of the border collie as he obeyed each command the shepherd spoke. It is amazing how well they can hear. Petting the lambs and watching my friends feed and hold them was a highlight. Visiting the peat bogs was enlightening. I have often heard of the bogs, but had never seen them. The ground was quite squishy. I enjoyed learning about the weaving process and taking whoa from sheep to yarn. The gentleman was very patient and answered all of our questions. Agnes was funny and kept us guessing what would happen next as things inevitably changed. Visiting the yarn shops was awesome. The walk around each of the cities we either stayed in or visited proved charming. Eating the local fare and hearing live music was icing on the cake. Overall, I loved my trip.
Deidra , Red Lion, PA - The Creative Crochet Experience was my first tour with Craftours, and to be honest, I was having doubts the few weeks leading up to the tour. Once the tour started, it was amazing! We had the perfect size group, and everyone got along so well. The planned stops and activities were great. I enjoyed the free time we had in the evening, and getting to know each other better. Overall it was a fantastic trip and experience, and I would do it again.
Laurie Manning , Jacksonville, FL - We had a wonderful time in Ireland and enjoyed all the stops on our tour, our tour guide, our driver, our planned activities, and our workshops.
Deb Redman , Newfield, NY - It was fun. Jenny and her family were so down to earth and friendly. All of the people on the trip bonded over similar interest quilting.
Marlin Shaw , Estero, FL - It was a fantastic trip. Being a non quilter / crafter I did not know what to expect exactly. However, it was all wonderful and I loved every minute. I would definitely do it again and recommend it to others.
Nancy Mundschenk , Carbondale, IL - This trip exceeded my expectations from start to finish. The trip was well-planned to include many of the must-sees of Ireland. From the Titanic Museum to the Cliffs of Moher and all the stops on the way to Dublin we heard fascinating details of the history, traditions, culture and yes, the spirit of Ireland! All the details of the trip were well-planned and yet we had time built in to explore on our own or in smaller groups. The optional cooking class with Catherine Fulvio was marvelous. I felt a bit like I was on an episode of The Great British Baking Show. The hotels were beautifully appointed and situated in locations that allowed personal excursions or just a walk in the area. The delicious Irish breakfast was plenty to hold me over for hours. The welcome and farewell dinners were excellent, and the tea was an amazing treat with a selection and quality so impressive I took a pic of the menu to share with family and friends. And what can I say about the pubs---singing, lifting a pint, and sharing with locals was magical. SLAINTE! Our travel manager, Agnes Warren, was outstanding. It will be hard for any subsequent trip I take to equal this one.
Tiffin Kreger Bryant , Charlotte, NC - There were some very special moments during our Ireland tour, which were totally enhanced by our enchanting guide, Agnes. We loved the cliffs of Moher, and the Burren, as well as the entire day to Kylemore Abbey-we could've spent the entire day there! And, of course, the weather was INCREDIBLE so that made the experience all the better. The Bunratty Castle dinner was REALLY fun, all that went really enjoyed the food and the experience! Also-I can not recommend Catherine Fulvio's cooking school enough! I absolutely loved spending time with her! Making Irish scones and then having tea in her family's farmhouse-it was all magical! We loved the Wicklow area! Also, the Avoca tour was unique and endearing for a number of reasons-Jim the guide was so fun, passionate about the history and work-it is their 300 year celebration, so seeing that work come to fruition AND having an extraordinary moment with Jim and his truly generous Irish spirit-was just one of many treasured moments! Galway is a vibe-it just is-we enjoyed walking the streets and everything being a "10 minute walk" if you hit water you've gone too far... We loved the tour and especially enjoyed our time with the brilliantly witty Agnes.
Ann Rogers , Plainfield, NH - This trip was amazing. We had traveled with Alice Ridge and Crafttours before so we knew this trip would be great. The castle tours were great. The crafts offered were fun and the scone making class with Catherine Fluvoli was so much fun.
Charlotte Shell , Spokane, WA - We had such a wonderful time in Ireland! Our guide, Agnes, and bus driver, Patrick, were phenomenal. Their knowledge of the areas we drove through and visited was wonderful., and their humor was delightful. Since the tour had an underlying craft theme, our group of strangers had a joint appreciation of the needle arts and soon became a family. Thank you Craftours for a brilliant and lovely experience.
Diane Black, Colorado Springs, CO - "I had a wonderful time. There was a nice combination of city and rural countryside. Holly did a great job as did Shawn, both were delightful to work with.

Kelly Anne Erben, Eureka, CA - "The 2018 Craft Tour to Ireland exceeded my expectations.

Susan Ostaseski, Boons Mill, VA - "The trip was fabulous, fun, and so interesting. I’ve never seen a tour so well organized. The crafts were great with gifted instructors."
Jill Gohr, Virginia Beach, VA - "Although I am not a quilter, the 2 friends that invited me, are quilters and have had several classes. I immediately felt comfortable and welcomed. It was the country I was interested in and I was not disappointed! Our tour guide Pat, was 1 in a million and his knowledge base was detailed and endless, as was his sense of humor! I would travel anywhere with him as a guide. I would go again in a heartbeat! Further, I would recommend this expedition to anyone interested in seeing and learning about Ireland. The trip and accommodation were first class from start to finish. Nothing was left to chance.I rarely had to deal with the beast (my huge suitcase) and even then, it was only to put it in outside my door, to be handled by leprechauns! I could add so much more, but hopefully my point is made ~ the trip and everyone that made it happen, was fabulous!"
Kathy Thompson, Virginia Beach, VA - "This trip certainly met all my expectations. It was superbly organized, had great accommodation, and had the most exceptional bus driver ever. Pat was a true gem. The escort’s wonderful personality and photography information and tips made you see more and realize more from the trip. It was a pure pleasure!"
Rose Rodriguez Stevenson, Elpaso, TX - "The tour guide was attentive to our needs, our whereabouts and instruction/guidance in photography. The sessions she provided were enjoyable and informative---excited us to experiment in photography and how it can be utilized in creating textile art."
Liz Berry, Chesapeake, VA - "I’m not much of a photographer but the escort was able to inspire me. She explained things in a way that made sense and has helped me look at things in a totally different way."
Julie Wickware, Clinton Twp, MI - "The escort gave excellent photography tips and the bus driver was exceptional with plenty of information and quips."
Diana Sillence, Lutz, FL - "The trip was more than I could have hoped for and was jamb packed full of sight-seeing, shopping, experiencing the culture through music and knowing Ireland’s history. Patrick was awesome in telling the history with his side jokes! The first reason I signed up was for the craft project but thread so much more!! Yes, I loved it and would love to return someday!!"
Sherry Kesselman, Albuquerque, NM - "This was my first trip over the Atlantic and because of having such a wonderful experience, will not be my last. I enjoyed everything from the group I was with to the food, sights, quilting class, shopping and informative and personal tour guide (Holly) and driver (Patrick). Both Holly and Patrick went way and beyond in making this trip truly an exceptional experience."
Ruth Robertson, Denver, CO - "Great tour!! So much to see & do - plus some tips on quilting."

Peggy Mott, San Antonio, Texas - "An informative, and entertaining tour. Our tour guide and the bus driver went over and above to see that we were entertained and well cared for. Jennifer Ryan, the instructor was well organized with her course materials and went out of her way to not only explain the technique but to make adjustments and adaptations for those of us who had vision, hearing and other physical problems."

Elaine Shepard, Little Mountain, Queensland - "Most enjoyable tour and crocheting experience."
Jill Lombard, Carlsbad, CA - """I was on the Ireland tour in Summer of 2013 with Bonnie Hunter. I can’t say enough about the wonderful experience I had. Examples include having Craftours arrange a roommate for me (a dear lady from Canada), arranging my air reservations, seating me next to ""new"" friends, being met at the airport by the most charming coach drivers, arranging truly ""first class"" accommodation in every town, offering wonderful sightseeing opportunities and historical information.
As with any major undertaking such as planning and executing a trip of this magnitude ""hiccups"" do happen. I was so impressed with the staff of Craftours. When problems arose there was always one and often more to the ""rescue"" to make things right.
I have recommended Craftours to all my quild friends and would love the opportunity to take more (and more) trips!"""
Barbara Stanbro, Hillsboro, OR - "I attended the International Quilt Festival of Ireland in 2012, and I had a fabulous time. The hotels were lovely, the destinations interesting, and our tour guide/bus driver couldn’t have been more charming or knowledgeable. It was a wonderful trip and I have many good memories."
Dr. Jo Barnes, Hamilton, New Zealand - "This was my very first organized tour and I was a little apprehensive about spending 15 days with people I did not know with a tour company I had found by accident on the internet. BUT my friend Bev and I had an amazing time we had fun, we saw lots of new and exciting places, we visited some quilting stores and met some really nice people. The hotel accommodation were excellent, the bus was comfortable, and the meals were varied and of good quality. I would recommend Craftours tours every time and I am looking forward to the South American Expedition in 2015."
Nancy and Ken Burkhalter, Chelsea, MI - "My hubby and I had an absolutely wonderful trip sponsored by Craftours to tour Ireland and the 1st International Quilt Festival in Galway in 2012. It was a small group, and we really loved that tour. We are still in touch with many of the others who were on our tour. Very well organized! Great places to see, great places to stay, great quilt festival - wonderful time. It was our 50th wedding anniversary trip - so we went on to Paris after to have our final celebration!"
Trena Stephens, Missouri City, TX - """What a great trip to the IQFOI in June of 2012! Our coach driver/tour guide was fun & entertaining. The accommodation were luxurious & comfortable. The food was fabulous.
The countryside was picturesque & breathtaking. The quilts were beautiful & inspirational. Thanks for a wonderful time."""
Karen and Mike Holt, Grand Junction, CO - "My husband and I went on a Craftours Tour to Ireland for the International Quilt Festival in 2012 and LOVED it. We both had so much fun. The hotels we stayed in were marvelous, our bus driver and tour guide took such good care of us, Ireland is amazing, beautiful, and fun and the people are wonderful. There were plenty of events for my husband to sign up and do while I was at the quilt show so he was happy and having fun too. The quilt show was great fun and I took a wonderful class there from a native Irish woman, using all Irish wools. We had the time of our lives and would love to go again - SOON! Thank you Craftours!"
Suzanne Novoselac, Coulterville, IL - "My daughter and I went on the trip to Ireland in 2008, and we had a completely wonderful time! My daughter does not sew or quilt, but she does do other forms of needlework, and she enjoyed herself very much. I’m a knitter and crocheter, and I enjoyed the trips to the woolen mill at Blarney and the weaving at Acoa (sp) near Dublin. Our tour host was excellent, we loved our bus driver, and both of us want to buy a place at the Dingle Peninsula! All in all, it was a never-to-be forgotten experience, and we are both just dying to go to Ireland again!"
