2022 has been a special year for us! CIE Tours is celebrating over 90 years of delivering the warmest welcomes to visitors in Ireland, Britain, and beyond. We opened doors to Ireland in 1932, the year Amelia Earhart became the first woman to fly solo across the Atlantic. An exploratory spirit was in the air, and CIE Tours invited curious travelers to discover our land under the wings of our knowledgeable local guides. 

As testament to our leadership position in Irish tourism, Ireland's Prime Minister, known in Irish as the Taoiseach, Micheál Martin, shared this video recognizing our contributions to Ireland's tourism economy. This includes our long-standing support of business development in rural areas and delivering guests throughout the country. He noted that CIE Tours has "played an important role in sustaining the special link between Ireland and America over many, many decades." Watch the video here.
