Excellent Service

Booking was was easy, staff friendly, knowledgeable and helpful.

Amazing tour, outstanding tour director and excellent lodging!

CIE provided us with not only excellent service, but they provide us with the BEST tour director, Colm! An unforgettable memory for my family and our friends!!

Booking agent contacted me when a promotion was available.

Great way to see Ireland!

CIE made it easy to see all the sites we wanted to in Ireland. The itinerary was well structured, and the coach driver Colm was informative and knowledgeable of the history of each area. We loved the experience!

Great experience!

The tour was well organized with a great itinerary. David, our tour direction was attentive, informative and funny. The hotels were great!

Enjoy Ireland with CIE.

Overall this was a great tour. Two areas that needed some help were the Welcome meeting and I will never fly Air Canada again. This was my third time to Ireland, second with CIE. Hotels were great!

Yes, I would book with them again. I want to give them 4 1/2 stars. My only complaint was that the last day was cut short. They could of did one more thing with us. It kind of just ended. The Bus driver and tour guide were both excellent.

Everything went very smoothly and our tour guide, Murt O'Shea, was exemplary. He was the perfect guide.

great time

everything went well.the driver /guide was super

Tour guide and bus driver were awesome.

Website is well organized and easy to use. Emails were responded promptly.

Dee was a wonderful guide. We learned so much about the history and culture of Scotland. This was my second CIE trip. I have already recommended it.

Terrific tour, but I wish it were longer.

This tour was booked only about a month before departure, so it wasn’t exactly what I was looking for, but it sounded good. I had a few conversations with an agent at the NJ office who didn’t get back to me as expected, but ultimately it all worked out. I was delighted to receive backpacks, phone plugs, luggage tags and full itinerary soon after paying. The tour itself worked out very well. I was looking for a small group, and there were 16 of us, which was great. Our driver/guide Tony, was absolutely fantastic. He gave us a lot of information about history, and life in Ireland, and kept us all well organized and on time. There just wasn’t enough time to cover the whole country other than breezing in and out of cities which are now all a blur. The hotels and meals were all excellent. Some of the hotels, however, were outside of town and we couldn’t easily go exploring on our own. I imagine it being high season, it wasn’t easy to book the more central locations.

The booking service was easy and went smoothly

Everything was very well organized and ran smoothly. Marlene Sullivan was a fabulous tour guide.

Will use Cie again when I find another trip that I wish to take.

It was a wonderful trip best I have taken in 26 years of travel. The only problems I had were 1 Nobody met me at airport-had to find bus, which was a long distance away-fell on way to bus trying to handle luggage and long trip. 2 Bus driver-Guide did not seem to understand that I needed copy of voucher for taxi to return to airport. He did get it the night before I left. The booking process was very good, answered my many questions every time I called. Do not know why my maiden name was on information that went to hotels-it made for much confusion at each hotel with getting correct name.

Great booking for a great trip

Purchasing my trip was very easy through the website and working with Ian McCarthy. Even through multiple emails and questions, the booking service stayed patient and helped me book a great trip to Ireland.

Great vacation!

Excellent job in getting things book and providing the information needed.

A wonderful time!

They were very professional, courteous and helpful. They answered all my questions and were very pleasant.

The tour itself was great. We had a problem with meeting up with our guide at the airport. Our flight came into Terminal 1 and the agent was at Terminal 2. We could not find anyone in the Deblin baggage claim area to help us get to Terminal 2. We finally found our way there into the departure area but needed the arrival area. An airport worker finally helped us. I felt that the tour guide should have known we were coming into Terminal 1 and had someone there for us. CIE did set up the flight.
