4.6/5

Good planning, nice special touches with local speakers at many stops.

Very informative, friendly guide and driver. Only downside was my early morning arrival at the airport--no one was there to greet me. Realizing I had an early flight, I specifically asked online about early pick-up. The response was that someone would be there. I ended up taking an expensive taxi.

FANTASTIC; Well Planned Vacation to Emerald Isle

Booking agents were extremely professional and worked with our group to ensure trip went smoothly including booking our airfare and transportation to/from airport in Dublin.

The places we visited were great and the people we met were very friendly.

The CIE tour was great! Our coach driver and tour guide was fantastic and made our trip wonderful. Can't say enough about the places we visited too.

Email questions were answered promptly with accurate information

guida eccellente. alberghi e ristoranti ottima scelta. Ma per noi i 5 stop per fare shopping in factory outlets or visitare fabbrica cioccolato, cristalli Waterford e due fabbriche di maglieria e confezione ci sembrano davvero troppo tempo rubato alla conoscenza del paese. Interessante sicuramente la produzione di birra

Everyone was very helpful and answered all of my questions.

Veel voldoening van de reis !

De service was vanaf het begin meer dan voldoende: het vervoer vanaf en naar de luchthaven, de perfecte timing van de dagelijkse activiteiten, de keuze van hotels, de route doorheen Schotland.

Service at the airport was great -- just as advertised. Tour guide and bus driver were delightful. Tour guide was very knowledgeable.

It doesn't get any better than this!

The Highlights of Britain tour was amazing.
From beginning to end, all went well. The tour director (Kim Pyle) and bus driver (Mark) worked fantastically well together ensuring we each had beautiful memories to take home.

Enjoyable and informative trip

This was our second CIE tour of Ireland. Everything went off flawlessly.

A Trip to be Remembered

Only our first international tour so we have no similar experience for comparison but our expectations were exceeded. The tour guides provided tons of information about Scotland and Ireland..history...culture...music...some politics...and great humor. The food was outstanding. Also appreciated the variety of lodging.

CIE: Courteous, Incredible, Exceptional!

I spoke to several different booking agents throughout the entire process, and I was impressed with how patient and helpful each one of them were. Sometimes I got conflicting information as I asked questions about redeeming the trip insurance for my deceased husband, but again, each one was helpful and extremely patient. Kudos to your staff!

Fun touring Ireland

My family and I had a great time touring Ireland. It was an amazing experience and we were able to see a lot of the country and learn all about the areas we went. Brian and Roy deserve an award for best tour guide duo. Their knowledge and professionalism could not have been better. They were soooooo nice.

This may not be much of a review, but it was great!

Not sure what you mean by booking service. Not the tour itself, but the logistics folks? Everything was great. Very satisfied.

This may be off topic, but I would have appreciated an opportunity to wash our clothes mid-tour. We didn't want to travel too heavy.

Able to revised departure flight times & arrival time in Dublin to hotel

The booking process was easy. When a issue regarding 1 of our group could not make the the departure time of the CIE planned flight, the agents happily booked an alternate flight. Two of the party arrived in Dublin past the time frame for free shuttle - a taxi voucher was provided.

Excellent tour. Airline bookings allowed sufficient time between flights. Hotel accommodations and meals were very good. Our tour guide was great, very knowledgeable and entertaining.

Excellent customer service with agent Dara Revins.

I used a travel agent for my first trip with CIE to Scotland and this time called and talked with a wonderful and extremely helpful CIE agent, Dara Revins. Excellent flight schedules and pricing and answered many questions about travel in general.

Wonderful tour, great guide, a beautiful adventure!

The tour of Scotland was amazing! Each day was full of beauty and adventure. The tour guide "Pat " was very informative, funny and went above and beyond to make sure everyone was happy and well taken care of. This was my second tour with CIE and both tours were well worth the money. The accommodations were also very nice the the coach was very clean and comfortable. The scenery was beautiful and the locations we visited were very interesting. I look forward to my next tour with CIE.

This was our 2nd time traveling with CIE and it was once again an amazing and memorable experience!

Excellent tour group- highly recommend!

Tour was excellent! We had a superior driver. He gave us a lot of information about Ireland’s history. We did the Southern Ireland tour. The country is beautiful! We were able to spend enough time in Dublin to see most of the city. Highly recommend CIE. We will use them for our next trip.
