Our textile tours...
Our textiles, craft tours and photography tours are guided by a desire not to impact on local communities but to tip toe into the lives of those we visit and share with them our love of textiles, traditional crafts and cultures.
Our unique itineraries are not your standard sight seeing tour as we pride ourselves on giving you truly unique experiences everyday. Our small group tours of only 10 ensure you experience your destination in a unique and personal way and our independent tours allow you to travel when it best fits with you.

TOURS FOR PHOTOGRAPHERS
Travelling without a group offers you the opportunity for spontaneous encounters with the locals and whether it be blending into the crowds at the local markets or wandering through local villages and towns, you’ll never feel like an intruder and always get that special shot that no one else has. Each tour is a ‘serendipitous’ experience with no two tours ever the same.
