4.6/5

Trip of a lifetime. Everything I hoped for.

Star tour guide, excellent hotels and comfortable bus.

Best Vacation Ever!!!

The guides were amazing. Tour Directors were great! They were knowledge, thoughtful and often humorous.
We saw beautiful countryside, met friendly people and had good food.
Surprisingly we adapted to the early up mornings and packing with each day.

Thanks Sean & Denis for a Stellar Experience

Jewels of Ireland (October) was a fantastic sample of the history and culture that Ireland has to offer. Most of the hotels were stellar. Denis & Sean were the best and I would tour with them again. Some of the dinners were so-so but when you feed that many people it is hard. The breakfasts were always great though. Some of the stops were more opportunities to shop but did mind it much.
I will happily tour with them again but 2 things I would have liked to have known ahead of time: CIE sends you plug adapters and the hotels use warm comforters not top sheets. If you sleep hot, plan ahead.

Lovely!

It was our first international tour guide experience and it meet and exceeded my expectations. Our tour guide, Bob, was very knowledgeable and had great stories! Even though it was one of our shorter tours, we were able to see a lot of beauty in southern Ireland and experience some of the local food, drinks and culture. The sheep herding visit and the Connemara marble factory were perfect additions to the tour. Would definitely recommend this package for anyone who would like to see some of Ireland's beauty.

Great trip for a first-timer to Ireland!

Great overview tour of the Irish Republic with a taste of Northern Ireland. Our tour manager/driver Dominic was knowledgeable, informative, and professional with a charming sense of humor. In short, he's a delight and a real asset to your firm. All the hotels were excellent, but the suites in Galway were beyond expectations. My suggested improvements are to eliminate the Ring of Kerry while retaining a sheep dog demonstration and spending a little time in downtown Cork rather than a quick drive-by. We would also recommend removing the boat ride in Galway. While the Irish Coffee was spectacular, the scenery is only weeds. Also, locate the closing night's dinner/entertainment venue closer to the hotel. After a long day in the coach from Killarney to Dublin, the nearly one-hour trip from hotel to restaurant was exhausting.

We enjoyed every attraction on the 23 day tour - an adventure of a lifetime!

Beautiful Ireland & CIE

Our tour guide was amazing. The bus was very comfortable. Meals were great. Itinerary was convenient and enjoyable. One of the hotel bookings proved to be inadequate. Otherwise, I would have given this tour 5 stars.

Best trip ever ,did everything you wouldn’t do on your own

I will definitely travel again, using CIE ,everything was smooth,great hotels ,and the best driver/tour guide ever. Mr Colm Murphy

Make great memories with CIE!

What a wonderful experience we had using CIE Tours! They made visiting Ireland and Scotland an absolute pleasure! !
Colm made every moment memorable!

Loved the trip and being so taken care of. Would book a trip with them again.

This was our 5th CIE tour and by far the best.

CIE handled everything very well, scheduling hotels and airport pick ups.

I rated my experience 4 stars because that was the rating of the hotels that we stayed at and food we experienced. Some hotels were more exceptional than others, but all in all, it was a four star experience. The guides, drivers, people we encountered deserve five stars. They were wonderful. I loved my experience in Scotland and Ireland. Our days were exhausting but I wouldn't eliminate anything from the itinerary.

Please use my name a John only in Rosevill, Ca

We went through Expanding Horizons travel agency & everything went well with our booking.

Amazing Trip!

Pat the tour guide and Richard the driver were absolutely fantastic! They made the trip! Scotland is beautiful and the places we visited were lovely, but the trip wouldn't have been the same without them!! I would definitely recommend CIE Tours again!

Best first trip to Scotland and Ireland ever!

Everything was just perfect. The tour guide Patrick in Scotland and the driver/tour guide Joe in Scotland and Ireland were incredible. Knowledgable, fun and in control of our trip made it wonderful.

I had a great experience with CIE Tours and I would definitely recommend them to others. Thanks for the great adventure.
