Extraordinary European vacations for lovers of arts and culture

The Portugal knitting tour was fantastic. The fiber activities were carefully curated by Alex and William, and we took classes, heard lectures, toured facilities, and met directly with textile owners to learn from them. The shopping, dining, and sightseeing experiences were all amazing. The knowledge of the hosts and their great planning was apparent every day. These are not activities you could put together on your own, and I really appreciated all of them. The wine, weaving, and cork factory tours, the farm visit, the hands-on learning, and the planetarium visit were so fun. The shopping guidance was great too.

The ten days went by quickly, and the balance of activities and free time was just right. All the activities were highly enjoyable and entertaining. As we say in Newfoundland, “Best Kind.”

It’s a perfect combination of sightseeing and performance—you get to see everything you’d want to as a tourist while also feeling like a local.

This tour was full of surprises! From the fabulous meals to the exciting destinations, all was orchestrated to please and educate. I cannot say enough about William and Alex - they are truly tour guides extraordinaire! They were jovial, informative and accommodating. I would not hesitate to do another trip with them. Excellent trip all around.
