Pleasant tour of Ireland

The tour guide was very knowledgeable. The food was good. Pace was varied, no days were too intense or too idle. Appreciated the interaction with local people

Taste of Scotland & Ireland - 11 Days/10 Nights

Paul McClinchie was a wonderful tour guide. This trip might have become unbearable if not for his knowledge, driving skill, story telling and honest appraisal of everything. He is a gem.

CIE Tours is great!

CIE Tours Taste of Ireland was terrific. They made travelling easy and covered all the details, allowing me to enjoy all the experiences. They know how to do Ireland right. Our driver and guide, Brian, was wonderful. His knowledge and expertise were only second to his warm welcome. CIE Tours offers a great way to travel; they handled the details while I enjoyed the trip. A great experience I'll never forget.

Trip of a lifetime

Our guide Dennis was personable, funny, and very knowledgeable. He and the city guides made a rainy and cold week a pleasure. Everyone we came in contact with was wonderful. The hotels and restaurants were all five star!!!!

Good overall tour of Ireland

Lots of activities, good choices of restaurants

Generally comfortable accommodations. Would recommend.

Guide was excellent. He went above and beyond. A few of the hotels were unremarkable. Choice of tour spots were very good.

Loved CIEin Scotland

All CIE staff did everything possible to ensure an excellent experience. Hope you don’t change anything

CIE Offers a great experience!

Great guide and driver. Beautiful accommodations! Excellent meals. Activities I enjoyed. I have beautiful pictures and memories! Loved everything! Great job!

Irish wonder and Beatle Magic

Darrah, our Irish driver was wonderful. His local knowledge helped us understand the local communities and his demeanor kept us happy and entertained. I'd ride with him again.

Excellent tour guides and beautiful hotels

Both tour guides were informative and professional we had so much fun with them.

CIE MADE AN AMAZING TRIP EVEN BETTER.

Cie made my honeymoon so much more enjoyable. I didn’t have to worry about anything. All I had to do was show up. From meals to what hotel we were staying it, it was all worked out for us. Our tour guide Dee and Bus driver Teri ( i know I spelled that wrong) were phenomenal!! I honestly don’t know how they make any money for what we paid. All the hotels and meals were amazing.

Such a smooth tour with great hotels, wonderful guide and delicious food. A great value. We saw everything we wanted to see.

Nice way to see a lot…….

Fun trip! The only thing I would change would be to skip the hurding experience in Ireland. We did basically the same thing in Scotland. The one in Scotland was so good.

100% recommend

We had a wonderful group and the greatest tour guide! Alister was amazing! I'll travel with CIE whenever I can, great trip, fabulous hotels and food.

good value

Overall service was good. I wish there was more effort into educating us on the Northern lights and capturing them at the start of the tour. Also, midway at our hotel where we had the best chance of seeing the Northern lights, we were accidentally given the wrong room location on the other side of the hotel. Some of the guests were lucky enough to see an amazing light show but we missed it since we were on the other side of the hotel. There was no effort on the hotel's part/tour to contact us during the actual appearance of the lights. That was so upsetting. There was also a change in our schedule to search for the lights one night due to weather - the weather was not so clear. I wish they would have stuck with the search that evening...it would have been a fun adventure to go on the search even if we did not see the lights that evening. There were a few missed opportunities to see the lights when we could have (as we know others did and had proof) and that was my biggest disappointment.

I would recommend CIE for future travel tours.

The tour was extremely well organized. There were some visits where I wish we could have stayed longer. The tour guide was excellent with local history and great detail.

Dec 10-16 3023 A Taste of Ireland with our amazing guide Patrick Smith. So much fun- we sang a lot on the bus and had a great group of people to enjoy this trip with. Patrick took us to see where the telegraph from CANADA came in and due to good weather we got to see the Skellig Islands. I really enjoyed being at the Cliffs of Moher.

Great fun and educational times in Ireland!

Good accommodations, great food, friendly people, educational venues, safe concerned and highly entertaining driver- all outstanding
