Scotland tour

My tour of Scotland was wonderful. If I could go back tomorrow I would. Our tour director, Di, was absolutely fabulous!!! Di was very knowledgeable about Scotland. During our touring days, she knew the best places to stop for lunch and shop. The trip was very well planned!!

I would make or add two changes. One is to stop and see the Kelpies. I have read about them and they are definitely a tour stop. Also, it is possible it would be nice to add in seeing Balmoral since it is fairly close on the trip back down the east side of Scotland. Not necessarily a tour, but just a drive-by stop to say you have seen it.

As I stated earlier, my trip was wonderful!!!! I was so impressed with the CIE tour, I am taking another tour with your travel company to Italy. I am just hoping it is as wonderful as the Scotland tour was!!!!!

Amazing trip, amazing tour guide which made this trip extra special.

Maria our guide and Liefi our driver made the trip. What an asset you have with Maria. So knowledgeable and caring.

Bad experience

The first half was horrible. First day being left alone at the museum was not a good start.

Taste of Italy with Sorrento - 10 Days/9 Nights
Truly a taste of Italy!!

This is our second trip with CIE. First to Ireland in 2002 and now Italy. Both were wonderful and we would recommend CIE to others. The trips are well coordinated with transportation, hotels, restaurants, and tour guides. Lia, our guide, was fantastic!

This being our first trip to Italy and it was a "taste of Italy" for sure. It was fast paced, but hit all the places we wanted to see. We now have ideas for our next adventure in Italy.

Memorable Trip, Fantastic Guides!

CIE made booking this tour effortless. Our tour guide, Linda, was the absolute best, as was our driver Brendan. We loved that breakfasts and dinners were included. All of the excursions, castles, and shopping was fun and interesting. Linda and Brendan interacted a lot with us and the other guests and brought a lot of humor we all appreciated to the trip. I would definitely book another trip with CIE. Everything is organized and explained thoroughly, especially once the trip has begun.

Great Trip!

Great trip and experience. The guides were fantastic as well as the food and accommodations. Can’t wait to return.

Great tour - lots of beautiful scenery and knowledge

Our tour guide, Pat Smith, was amazing! He knew everything and every ONE! The Merry Ploughboy show was spectacular, the trip to Blarney castle, Cliffs of Moher, Ring of Kerry - all amazing places.

I liked most of the tour but the customer service from go Irish was awful. Also the food at the hotel for breakfast and dinner was not the best.

Best trip of our lives!!

The tour was amazing. We saw so much more of Ireland than we would have been able to on our own. The hotels were first class, food was incredible, our driver Murt O'Shea was fantastic.

The Irish Pub Tour- 8 Days/7 Nights

Jewels of Ireland - 13 Days/12 Nights

Alistair and Karl were fantastic very informative. The hotels were very nice. Sites were enjoyable.

Scottish Isles & Glens - 12 Days/11 Nights

Graham Bruce was an amazing Tour Guide. So informative, so accommodating, an thoughtful about all details and all guests! This is our 3rd Scotland trip with CIE and this was another unique experience. We learned more about Scotland and their incredible history and the Orkney’s were a very unexpected surprise. Everyone should see the Orkney’s for Skara Brea, the standing stones, Scapa Flow and the very special Italian Chapel. Incredible trip and I can’t wait to see Scotland again and travel with CIE again. Always an amazing experience!

A very enjoyable first trip to Ireland hosted by a knowledgeable guide.

Our driver/tour guide couldn't have been any better!

Out Driver/tour guide

Wonderful tour

We had a great tour, our guide Lisa was fantastic and the service was excellent

Great first CIE experience

Great experience. Our first time on a group tour and the personal stories, histories, and context added greatly to the exposure. We appreciated visiting places we might not have chosen on our own or would have not prioritized. Accommodations, food, and transportation were excellent.

Fantastic Vacation

Our driver/guide Patrick Smith was outstanding. Very professional, knowledgeable, and all-around great person. Very well organized and the timing for all the places were perfect.

Irish Gold - 8 Days/7 Nights
Well worth it!

I was able to see so many things in one week. It was well organized and the tour guides were informative with a bit of humor. Would definitely recommend this tour to any adult.
