"What can I say!!! I was originally a little nervous to be travelling to India but I now would not hesitate to recommend Stitchtopia and this particular holiday to a crafting friend. We were so well looked after, the hotels were fantastic, all visits were interesting and well planned. Thank you so much for everything."

Mrs Farrant reviewed: Textiles of Japan & the Festival of Quilts

"Fabulous trip-of-a-lifetime What a fabulous trip, brilliant service. The trip was incredibly well planned and a fantastic itinery. We stayed in great hotels and our tour leader, local guide and expert were the best. We experienced so much of Japan in such a relatively short time. Although moving from location to location this was made as effortless as possible. The trip couldn’t have been better organised and the hands-on workshops with various artisans was something I’ll never forget. Our tour leader, local guide and expert were so knowledgable, friendly and fun. I can’t think of a thing to change. What a wonderful trip and worth every penny."
