4.6/5

Exceptional Experience!

Exceptionally organized every day! Bus driver and Guide Jacqui was the best I have ever dealt with and I've travelled to 28 countries! She is the most professional tour guide I have ever seen! Jacqui is an asset to CIE!! The ONLY reason I didn't give a 5 was because we were so rushed getting to hotels and leaving again. Suggest 2 hour downtime every day when arriving at hotel to check hotel out, rest and recharge!

Booking was easy, however, a few hiccups (twice we experienced no hotel reservation in a 7 day period), and saw some advertised attractions from the window of the bus. If we knew that our arrival hotel was not actually in Dublin but 30 minutes away by car, we might have made a different decision. You go to Ireland to see Dublin but there was zero time for that. Other than this, the driver was incredible and all of the tours were informative and enjoyable.

Booking was good. Enjoyed the prep trip information and backpack.

Lots to see in beautiful Ireland

Tour was booked through AAA so I can't judge the CIE booking service.

Our travel agent made our reservation. I found the trip and gave the booking to her.

Great tour. Covered all the top sights. Accommodations were first rate.

Would definitely refer CIE to friends. Great service, accommodations and meals. Tour directors were very knowledgeable. Good to have free time in local towns. Covered a lot of ground every day, but never felt overwhelmed by to much traveling.

Scotland/Ireland Dream

Very good. Need more local dining vs. hotel dining which has same exact meals. More free time to explore on your own. Need less gift shop stops.Ginnis and Jamison tour needs to be added. I would book CIE tours again if the itinerary was more detailed.

Booked through our travel agent. That was easy. The packet os paperwork, luggage tags etc could have arrived earlier. Getting it less than a week before departure was not ideal. And we found that our fellow travelers received a backpack. We did not. I saw how that backpack came in so handy for them during the tour.

Taste of Scotland and Ireland

Our agent was not very communicative. Had some problems that were not addressed.

I booked through a travel agent. She highly recommended your company.

Excellent. Brian, our driver, was awesome

The tour was very well organized, the tour guide, Brenden, was very knowledgeable.

Excellent time utilization to see a lot in 12 days

Very nice hotels, expert driver/tour director, saw memorable sites in both countries

Easy and detailed

Dana was our booking agent and she was very helpful and friendly. Answered any questions we might have had.

Good tour but needs some improvements

We used Vacation to Go for our booking and they were excellent. Preston Christopher was very helpful and professional.

It was relatively easy to book the trip.

Wondferful trip !

The booking service couldn't have been smoother. Of course we have travelled with CIE Before, touring Scotland in 2015, so we are aware of what a first class organization CIE is !

October Ireland Adventure

The booking process went smoothly. A courteous attendant was there to assist me when I needed to retroactively add airport transfers.
