4.6/5

Phenomenal!

It would have helped if Mr. Diamond had told us when we first booked that we would be getting backpacks and what would be in them. I bought a converter when I didn't need to.

Jim McCormack was a phenomenal tour guide. He entertained us, gave us history, and escorted us through a wonderful trip.

Fun and well-organised!

CIE was fantastic! They had everything organised so well! I was able to completely relax and go with the flow. We had heaps of fun! Well worth it!

They provided the service we were looking for.

All services were provided as quoted

Exceptional rep made sure all details were handled

The actual booking went very smooth

I would recommend them, but if I were to book again, and I might, I would take more time to investigate each site to be visited. For instance, we rode by the Titanic museum. We did not visit the Titanic museum. Disappointment. The meal the first evening in a conference room at the hotel was ok, but the atmosphere was . . . a conference room in a hotel.

thought it was good, was glad my sister called and asked for copies of all paperwork, rather just giving to me.

Irish Spirit June 2018

Went on the Irish Spirit tour from June 16-23, 2018. Our driver/guide John Callinan was amazing. He was kind, patient, funny, and very knowledgeable about the country. We loved all of our stops and met some lovely people along the way. I highly recommend this tour!

Good tour not clear booking...

We had a great time on our tour, but booking wasn't completely clear at the beginning (once they got our deposit). Specifically asked for a few places to see but when we arrived we found out we weren't seeing those places because we didn't book the last day. This was our first bus tour and our first tour of Ireland so we didn't know or understand the schedule resulting in what was a rocky start with the driver/tour guide but a fabulous finish. CIE never contacted me to apologize, explain or anything although Murt said he contacted the main office. I never heard from Ian Macgregor (our initial contact) although I emailed him and left about 5 phone messages.

Our 2nd tour with CIE, really good experience

Pleasant representatives but often difficult to get on the phone when we call. We were also given incorrect information about a transfer to the hotel from the airport.

Very well organized. Excellent tour director and bus driver team. We do recommend the company. We hope to travel with this company again within the next year.

The wife and I had a great time. Our driver Nills was the best. We highly recommend this tour.

great customer service and lots of fun

Solid

Solid bus tour company. Well organized, all hotels and activities pre-booked as part of a package.

Awesome Tour of Ireland

Everything about the tour was excellent. From the locations we visited to the meals and stop overs. But the best of all was our tour guide/driver Brian, who made everything fun and interesting.

Same guide from beginning to end of tour and he was excellent. All accommodations were very good.

They were helpful with booking our tour and when a problem arose about size of bed in room they called and made the correction with the hotels.

Excellent Company - Excellent Service

Because they handled EVERYTHING. All my husband and I did was sit back and enjoy. For us, it was the trip of a lifetime and having the excellent service of our CIE drivers and guides with us just made it a fantastic trip!

Tour was as advertised. Always on time. Patrick was perfect, made an effort to keep everyone happy.

The trip of a lifetime

The guy who booked my trip was so nice and found us the best deal. We were taking a trip for my fiancés birthday and was the most memorable trip!!

Great vacation

The tour was great. Refine, our guide, is extremely friendly and knowledgeable. She was always available to answer questions and help in any way. Our driver, Raymon, was equally wonderful.
