4.6/5

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.

Continuity from pickup, into hotels, timing ETD & ETD & venues. Only down side asking over the top tips at Euro 8.00 when brochure recommends Euro 6.00.
Noting that CIE employee minimum salary Euro 38,000/annum and may receive up to Euro 48.00/hr on Sat & Sun. If CIE not paying above then they are delinquent.

Great they did all the work for me.

Excellent Itinerary, wonderful tour director and driver.

We were pleased with the booking service and, were we to visit Ireland again, be pleased to use their services.

Great itinerary, good drivers & guides. Everything was wonderful.

The tour, accomodations and competent staff made our journey enjoyable.

Best tour company ever!

The tour guides / driver were friendly, accommodating and very knowledgeable.

Very knowlegable tour guide

Better hotels and a little more dinners would be good.

Very helpful, polite and quick

helpful aand responsive to my questions

Taste of Scotland - well worth it!

Helpful in providing options when the tour we selected was not available

Pat was a wonderful driver/tour guide. He went above and beyond many times. I liked the locations and enjoyed the music during some of the longer driving periods. The rest stops were well planned. I did like not feeling like I had to buy extra excursions to make the most of the trip.

I booked through Authentic Ireland who were very easy to deal with.

Everything about the Elegant Ireland tour was terrific! The hotels were lovely, the coach comfortable, the driver/guide was efficient, friendly, knowledgeable and clearly loves his work and his country. This was just a great experience all around.

Every aspect of the trip was near perfect. The Tour Director, Patrick Smith, was absolutely fantastic and made sure everyone had a great time. Would definitely go with CIE Tours again.

High attention to detail—exceeded expectations

The tour was very well organized, tour guides and drivers excellent, very knowledgeable, extremely personable with great attention to detail...Acomadations and meals all excellent...Very comfortable coach. Great choices for attractions and stops...We will highly recommend to friends and family and do hope to go on another CIE tour in future—we felt totally spoiled....

Can’t wait to tour again with C.I.E.

Tour guide, Graham Bruce, was exceptional. Knowledgeable, funny, and conscientious. Lodging was all well chosen, comfortable, and clean. Food provided was either very good or excellent. Tour stops were extremely worthwhile and I don’t feel as if I missed anything. Driver was very professional, yet friendly and amusing. His capabilities maneuvering the big coach were simply impressive. THANK YOU for a marvelous tour.
