Reviews

This is the easiest review to write, what a fantastic trip Ashley and her colleagues planned for us. It has been a bucket list of mine to go to the Scandinavian countries. I wanted to see it all and at the same time include fiber (yarn) related activities. I think the most impressive part of this trip as far as Ashley and Gabriela are concerned is there ability to react to the details that were issues beyond their control such as airplane strikes that threw the timing of our return off. This is the second trip Ashley has planned for us and we can’t wait to go on the third one next month. We are always quick to refer people to Ashley and will continue to do so. 10 out of 5 fun!

I had a great time. Spent 2 weeks in Bali, Singapore and Qatar. My favorite single day activity was driving in the desert, in Qatar. My tour guide in Bali were amazing and really help us with any questions or issues we had. Easy to communicate and well-versed in the history of Bali. Singapore was the easiest to navigate around. Amazing views, delicious food, there so much activities to do there, you need a month stay to see it all. Each day was something new and exciting to witness.

It was a great trip, but the accommodations were not great. Our trip last year was a bit less expensive and we stayed in a nicer hotel. For the money, I expected better accommodations.
