4.6/5

was more then was expected. It was organized from AM to PM.

yes would travel with CIE again. We booked thru a 3rd party and had a wonderful experience.

It was a wonderful trip

They were very helpful and answered all my questions. Any additional questions were dealt with promptly.

Great trip, but...

Good: accommodations were top notch, tour guide (Patrick Smith) was great beyond words, provided meals were very good, itinerary was hectic but otherwise interesting and informative

Poor: CIE Tours (New Jersey) response to flight disruption due to grounding of Boeing AirMax 737. Because of cancellation of flight (Shannon to Providence) CIE response was to provide bus ride (2.5hrs) from Shannon to Dublin, 6hr flight to Newark,NJ ...then a 3hr bus ride to Providence! This was the only option given by the NJ office. After I did multiple hours of research and phone conversations with Norwegian Air was I able to get a flight a day after our original departure directly to Providence from Dublin. Furthermore the NJ office wouldn’t guarantee transportation from Shannon to Dublin after I reworked flight. If not for my repeated calls/emails was a return to Dublin provided I would have been on my own in Shannon. Once in Dublin CIE dropped other tour patrons at a hotel in Dublin City and if not for the generosity of our tour guide Mr. Smith who gave us a lift to the airport we would have been on our own getting to our hotel close to the airport.
Overall we enjoyed the trip but the lack of assistance in our flight disruption was greatly disappointing and would be a pause for concern with either using or recommending CIE Tours again.

Excellent service

I told them what I wanted and they took care of everything. They notified me about payments and sent necessary documents. All I had to do was show up.

From start to finish CIE did a great job.

I did all our booking through a travel agent so for me it was incredibly smooth and easy. Everything was done pretty quickly and questions were answered.

CIE was definitely easy to book with online.

Providing a good and knowledgeable guide with a great tour bus driver

Great tour leader and local guides-- well organized

Efficient and complete

I highly recommend CIE Tours!

Great Company

Great company

A taste of Scotland and Ireland

The agents in booking were very thorough. All were pleasant! The tour was wonderful. Our guide in Scotland Onya was very knowledgeable and sweet. The driver whom was also our tour guide in Ireland was extremely skilled driving thru those narrow streets. He was so knowledgeable with Irish history, with a wonderful sense of humor. Overall the trip was AWESOME! ☘

Second tour with CIE as wonderful as the first!

Very helpful and considerate.

I didn’t deal with CIE directly as I was referred to an agent who handled all of the bookings for me. However, all appointments were kept and on time.

CIE Tours via Affordable Tours booking was great

We actually booked with Affordable Tours for the 2-for-1 companion airfare promo. Affordable Tours rep Steve Warren was an excellent service travel consultant. CIE Tours did catch our timing discrepancy of our flight from SFO to LHR for the tour starting at Tuesday 2:30 PM. We had to book one more night to meet the tour on time. Good catch.
Affordable Tours' online program was initially not easy to use but I got familiar with the format. Responses were immediate.

Enjoyable tour of Wales and England

As a returning customer, I felt CIE was the best tour company to contact to set up a family reunion for three siblings who each live in different parts of the US.

Scottish Dream was indeed a dream experience

A wonderful glimpse of Scotland: magnificent scenery, fascinating history and culture, and friendly people. The week went by far too fast but so many places were packed into this tour.

Good servicr

Great tour

So easy and friendly service.

Good introduction to Scotland d

The itinerary was a good introduction to Scotland and CIE Tours. Our bus driver was excellent! The accommodations were great, I liked how the tour tried to get everybody to meet and socialize.
