Wonderful Experience!

This is my second trip with CIE Tours and it was terrific. The meals were great, the hotels were really nice. Best of all, we met such great people! The places we visited were awesome and I felt CIE Tours tried to give a great taste of Scotland Yes, the bus rides were somewhat long, but it takes time to get to each destination. Our tour guide, Patrick, was just wonderful, with the best sense of humor. Our driver Jerry was kind enough to make several stops for quick pictures.

Fantastic!

The tour was amazing and our driver and guide, Joe Lyons, was absolutely awesome!! He went over and above to make the tour so interesting.

We would definitely recommend CIE.

Amazing Honeymoon!

Easy to book. Received the cutest backpacks with all the essentials!!! CIE was great !

Best Irish Adventure Tour!

Well organized, excellent tours, terrific driver/guide. Only one hotel we didn’t like, but the rest were great!
Might have stayed a little longer at some stops, but on the whole great.
Will use again!!!!

Booking was easy. I spoke with a young man, Ross Archibald. He was efficient and helped me. I wanted to go a day early so I would see Newgrange, which was not on the tour itinerary. He managed that reservation for me. The best thing about the tour was the tour director, Tony Keenan. He was knowledgeable, interesting, articulate, informative, helpful, and entertaining. I had some particular expectations for the tour and got to see everything I wanted. there was of course, serindipity, having seen and experiences some things which I didn't expect or didn't have previous knowledge about.

Easy to book and pay

Excellent tour !We could have kept going !!

From my first interaction I was very pleased with all the information given to me to make my trip stress free and the most enjoyable. My guide Markene was exceptional and went the extra mile every day. Her enthusiasm and knowledge was a pleasure which made us understand and appreciate Iteland and its history.

Fast and easy

The booking process was fast and easy. The ability to make payments was a plus.

No problem, everything went well.

They gave good information and were very helpful.

Terrific Trip and Well Worth It!

We just returned from the eleven day Taste of Scotland and Ireland tour. It was an AWESOME trip! We were amazed by the beauty of both countries and the kindness of the people. Our guide in Scotland, Alsdair, shared so much of the history of each of the areas we visited. Loch Lomond and the Loch Ness cruise were beautiful, and Edinburgh Castle and city were wonderful!

Crossing to Ireland by ferry, we visited Titanic Belfast, learning about the ship and the people. We also toured Dublin, kissed the Blarney Stone, and enjoyed a demonstration of sheep dog herding. The Ring of Kerry and Skellig Islands were breathtaking, as were the Cliffs of Moher, and an interactive dinner at Bunratty Castle was such fun! The last day we visited Galway and the monastery of Clonmacnoise before returning to Dublin. During our stay in Ireland, our guide, Aidan, gave us insight into the rich history of his homeland as well as current events and issues facing the country. Aidan was the difference between a so-so tour and the tour of a lifetime! He looked after us, kept us moving, and went the extra mile in all that he did. We really enjoyed ourselves and look forward to the next trip!

clean, well organized and yes I would recommend them!

What you did well. In only one word "everything".

We had a wonderful time!

This tour was absolutely perfect.....we even had perfect weather! The guide and driver were superb! The Accommodations were each unique and exceeded our expectations! Each meal was different and enjoyable! This is the first time we have done a guided tour and we will use CIE again! Thank you!jwh

Excellent

Service was great. Booking was easy. Our tour guide Michael was excellent. Really knew his history. He was personable and really took care of all of us on the tour. All the hotels meals and itinerary of our tour was fabulous. Loved everything we did. Also loved that it was all inclusive and we didn't have to think about add ons.

Wonderful Taste of Ireland Tour

The 7 day 6 night Taste of Ireland was perfect. we started and ended in Dublin, a fun city with lots to do. The hop on bus vouchers that were sent to us in advance was a great way to get around Dublin before actually meeting up with the tour group. We were lucky to be early in the season and had a small group of fun travelers. Out tour guide/driver, Patrick Smith, made it fun, interesting and informative for all of us. The coach bus was comfortable. The hotels were all very nice and the itinerary was well planned. Busy but not hectic with plenty of time for Pub visiting st the end of the day.

Taste of Scotland

Great product! Comfortable coaches, beautiful properties and excellent tour guides. Highly recommend!

Great tour for your dollar. Tour was put together well.

CIE is the best! I would only tour with them!

I absolutley loved them. I spoke to one Irish lady(loved that she was Irish and not American) and she was so helpful. She made a wonderful impression of CIE and went above and beyond to help with my booking. I spoke to other CIE employees as well and they were all experts and I felt like I was in good hands.

Simple and efficient. I generally called the 800 number and was always greeted and had my concerns answered.
