First Class tour

This was a first class operation, providing excellent lodging and a wonderful tour guide. Michael Connelly made this a very special tour and took care of our every need. We will definitely book with this tour service in the future.

Staying with CIE

Their agent was very thorough. Loved the follow up and make sure we had everything covered. I wish they could have booked my pre and post hotel stays where I wanted. But that is a small price to pay. Good detail and everything was as planned. CIE has had great drivers and guides. They move so everything stays smooth. They try and insure your needs and whims are met. I have traveled there 9 times and CIE's tours have been among the easiest and most inclusive.

Every part of the booking experience and tour far surpassed my expectation. All you have to do is give them your information ... pay your fee and they take care of everything! Excellent phone etiquette!

Fantastic trip - I highly recommend this tour to everyone.

Booking was incredibly easy and they were patient in answering all my questions. I talked with several different agents and each one was courteous and professional.

This was my 4th tour with CIE. We were going with neighbors and had hope to get a discount. At first they wouldn't give us one but after an e-mail they not only gave me one but gave my neighbors one also. I was able to pay something every month for our two week tour. The only disappointment was that my neighbors were able to book transportation to the airport at the end of the trip and we were not offered that as we had to use a different airport at the beginning of the trip and find out own way to Glasgow. We were told we could not book transportation for one way.

CIE is amazing. Tour guide Matt is phenomenal.

CIE is amazing. I have nothing but rave reviews. Tour guide, Matt, is phenomenal.

Well done

Everything about the trip was well done. This was a very special event; taking my mother on her first trip to Ireland. She had a wonderful time, loved the food, the hotels, the musical performances.

Go directly through CIE.

I booked this tour through Affordable Tours --- a big mistake! If I had to do it over again, I'd book directly through CIE. The actual tour was great.

Not so sure .... since I had a bad experience with pickup at the beginning of the trip . I call CIE and question the arrival date since we were traveling overnight the date changed the company assured me the date we were leaving was the one we should used . But it was not right and the company picking up wanted my group to pay again and then get reimbursed later ...if at all

The tour was great. Our guide Gerry made the tour with his knowledge and insight shared along our travels. Some hotels had no AC. But in the end all was amazing and I would recommend CIE any day.

Excellent service

The tour itself was very nice. The pace was comfortable and all but 1 of the hotels were excellent. The guides were professional while not being stiff. Their commentary was excellent and at times funny. I would certainly book CIE again.

Wonderful experience

We used a local agent in NC. All went smoothly.

Well planned. Some of the hotels were not what I would have expected and we could have used more time in a couple of the cities in Ireland that we only passed through. The bus driver/tour directors were AMAZING!

West brook Maine

GREAT TIME AND MEALS WERE GREAT TOO.

Great Company

They do a good job. Don't have to worry about your luggage . The bus is comfortable and like that they move you around. I like that all the excursions are include so you don't have to keep up with tickets. All hotels were very nice. Having most meals included is a plus and we enjoy the free time we get too.

Great trip!

Great trip. Everything was well planned and executed. Tour guide was great. We will definitely use CIE Tours again.

Fantastic first-time CIE tour.

Excellent booking service and we will definitely recommend CIE to friends and family.

Reconend this tour company

It was the best , i plan another holiday with you company in the near future

Unhappy. We all booked flights at same time and our group was split up on different flights. Also told we had certain seats then later learned our seats were change to very back of plane.

Excellent way to meet Scotland and Ireland.

Thoroughly enjoyed our Taste of Scotland and Ireland. Our main tour guide and coach driver, Aiden, was most accommodating and informative. Our lodging was all four star as advertised and meals to match.
Both my husband and I believe it to be one of our best vacations. Well organized,beautiful scenery, pleasant staff, and never rushed.
Thank you CIE for these fantastic memories.
