4.6/5

The tour was everything we hoped it would be. Our guide John was very knowledgeable and his recommendations were on point. The tour was a great way to see Ireland with a perfect mix of history, sightseeing and fun.

Tour arrangements were easy to make but airline reservations were very poorly handle. Multiple phone calls about seat assignments were not returned. In the end we had to pay extra directly to Aer Lingus to not be stuck in the last row of seats as assinged by CIE.

Stunning waterfalls, gorgeous glens, incredible memories made

We thoroughly enjoyed our first trip to Scotland. A CIE representative was there to greet us as soon as we collected our luggage. Our accommodations and included meals were very good. Our bus driver, John, and guide, Seamus, were knowledgeable and entertaining. Not only would I recommend this tour company, but I am already planning my next trip with CIE!

Super company and I'll uses them over and over.

I used my own booking agent to book this trip. However I used CIE before and they were very good. I would use CIE again next time.

The tour was great. Everything was set up for us, we didn't have to think or worry about anything. I highly recommend CIE tours.

Great Tour guide. Really like that all excursions are included

Booking was simple. Customer service was great.

Great trip!

Tour director and bus driver were both great, friendly, funny, and very knowledgeable.
The bus itself was not very comfortable - much like an airplane seat. The tour was great... saw many things you would not see on a cruise. The Roman baths, Stonehenge, Wales, sheepdog demonstration, and Edinburgh were real highlights. Not enough free time, however, and a very busy schedule.

Best tour ever!

The tour was well planned. Everything was handled for me but also time on my own.

Great tour guides and drivers! Nice hotels!

The tour was excellent. Very professional & the tour guide & the coach driver-tour guide were both 10/10
Food & entertainment was excellent
The only recommendation would be that the family rooms were all very small & crowded. Except for the last hotel which we stayed in in Shannon

Our tour guide Philip Duffy was the reason I gave 5 stars .
Philip Duffy was both bus driver and tour guide .That should not
be , simply for safety reasons .
Hotel selection was good to very good, Hotel location and lack
of a/c were neutral to negative. All CIE people that I contacted
before and during tour were excellent .Dumping us off on the last
day with a couple do it yourself tours was a major NO NO

Took care of everything and kept us informed.

Fabulous time. Highly recommended

Friendly knowledgeable driver and tour guide who went out of his way to be accommodating to make sure everyone had a great tour experience.

Trip of a life time!

The hotels were top notch, restaurants were good, tour was exceptional thanks to Colm & Ireland was breathtaking!!

I had a great time on the cie trip from the booking to the trip itself. I liked the tour guide and the itinerary

Easy and effortless.

Dara the employee of CIE was professional and knowledgeable, which made the booking effortless.

Trip was great and the driver and guide were excellent. The only negative was the last day at Edinburgh Castle. The castle was crowded and was very steep. One of our travelers fell because of the wet and steep conditions. When my wife and I got inside the castle, we looked around and saw the crowd and we left. Plus we had already seen beautiful castles. We were basically castled out! Other than that it was a super trip! Grant Evridge

From booking the trip to the pick up at the airport, to our hotels, and the itinerary, we were thoroughly impressed. Our tour guides were all wonderful. We spent the most time with Di Keddie as a guide and we enjoyed her knowledge and humor. Michael Coleman was our driver, but as you know the driver does so much more than just drive. The roads in Scotland and Ireland are twisty and small, yet we felt safe. Michael was knowledgeable and professional, with a warmth and a lovely sense of humor that made us feel very welcome. I have already told many people about what an amazing time we had. Thank you to everyone involved!

Superb all around,but it was our driver/guide Joe who really made the trip

My third escorted tour with CIE. I feel the convenience and value are very good.

Great tour. Hotels, food, coach and tour guide were fantastic. We were able to see so much more on our guided group tour than we ever would have on our own. We will definitely boom another trip with CIE in the future!
