What Our Travelers Say

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.

Our trip to Portugal was nothing short of extraordinary, all thanks to Resonate Tours! From the impeccably crafted itinerary to the seamless planning, every detail was thoughtfully designed, making this vacation truly unforgettable. We haven’t stopped raving about it since we got back. We would travel anywhere in the world with them and can’t recommend them highly enough!

The personalized attention we all received was remarkable. Alex and William took the time to get to know each of us individually and ensured that we were always having fun. They made sure every comfort was addressed, whether it was dietary needs or activity tolerance. I was amazed at how smoothly everything came together without any stress.

This tour was curated to perfection. The variety of activities was outstanding. For me, the knowledge and history shared by the artisans of Portugal, along with their dedication and passion for keeping their art alive, was extraordinary. The bonding with our hosts, instructor, and fellow participants was incredible—friends for life!

Hard to choose my favorite location—I enjoyed each area but would have loved more time in Lisbon! I especially enjoyed all the workshops and the exposure to rug making, the mill, and the farm. The evening spent at the observatory was something I will never forget. The attention to detail in planning this tour was evident—thank you so much!

So much fun to learn so many new things! Knitting was not our only activity—so much was introduced and appreciated. New, strong friendships were made, and we all felt like each other’s best friend. Kudos to the talent behind such success. We were truly blessed to have such a wonderful administrative team.

This knitting tour was well-organized and offered a perfect balance between fiber-related activities and sightseeing. There was enough downtime and plenty of time to knit. The accommodations were well-situated, and the food was amazing!

More than just knitting! The activities were varied and interesting, and the schedule provided the perfect balance of activity and free time.

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.”

Lovely tour guides, beautiful locations, and excellent accommodations. Every meal featured outstanding food and wine. This was a dream come true tour—I’d do it again!

I’ve already recommended this experience to several friends. It was a great way to combine my love of choral singing with my love of travel and sharing new experiences with great people.

A week of musical and culinary nourishment

This choral experience in Lucca, Tuscany, was simply amazing! The charming medieval city, the music we sang, the food and wine we enjoyed, the excursions, and above all, the wonderful friendships through song that I made. This trip fulfilled all my senses to the fullest—a trip I will always treasure. Thank you, Resonate Tours, for this most memorable, heart-fulfilling experience!

Even though we were tag along members of the choir, we enjoyed the experiences a great deal - I would highly recommend the tour for choir members as well as non-singing companions.

It’s so much fun traveling with people who share similar interests (and their partners!) and the same goals—making beautiful music and exploring amazing sights you’d never experience while rehearsing in your hometown.

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.

If only we in Kansas had anything close to the worst food in Tuscany....

I greatly appreciated the tour guides—they even assisted those of us continuing on a side trip after Portugal. They put together a fantastic trip! I can’t wait to return to Portugal.

Thank you! This being my first trip to Europe, you’ve set a high bar. I’m leaving with so many wonderful memories to carry in my heart.

Resonate offers the very best tours, and I will continue to sing, speak, and write your praises to everyone who loves to travel.

Thank you, Resonate Tours! This was an experience I will never forget!

You guys always step up and go above and beyond what other tour organizers might do.

Thanks for a wonderful trip and introduction to Italy! I really had a great time. For a musician, I think trips like this where you experience the culture and get to concertize are amazing. Thank you for your organization and thoughtfulness that brought this trip and musical experience to life!

The variety of places we dined was a great way of being introduced to locations in the cities as well as traditional foods.

It felt like family. Everyone was so warm, welcoming and wanted to be a part of the experience. New friends made. Can’t wait to do this again.
