Great Trip! I Would Go Again!

CIE Tours made it easy to understand what was going to happen and when. I appreciate the backpack, booklets and supplies they sent us to get ready for the trip.

When the plane landed, I didn't have any issue finding the airport transfer. The representative picked me out right away and told me where to get the transfer.

Our tour guide was great at letting us know the itinerary and giving us tips along the way.

The transfer to the airport after the trip was also easy to find.

Outstanding trip, wonderful guide, lodging top notch and food goid

Excellent trip all around! Will recommend!

Guides were fab, some things need a look into.

Guides were fab. George Murray was awesome. The out sourced travel agent from CIE not helpful!!!

The night excursions weren’t great. Would have rather had time to explore on my own. Clappy Doo horrible. Even venue for it was not pleasant. Bagpipe player was nice, but in that venue horrible.

Barge ride was just ok.

The dinner and show in castle-music superb everything else not. Dangerous if fire had broken out. We could have not all gotten out w those single file stairs.

WiFi on coach not enough.

Too many hotel changes!

Taste of Scotland, Northern Ireland and Ireland

CIE was wonderful, especially the tour guides George and Onya. They were informative ,helpful and took care of everything for us. I gave 4 stars because of the tour. Too many hotels and not enough time to enjoy areas that had so many pubs bd restaurants. By the time we finished most nights it was time to repack nd go to bed. Maybe a class one making scones since we seemed to have them at every breakfast.
Lastly when we first called CIE we were immediately put in touch with Jennifer a travel agent. There are several programs we had with her communication.

The team was completely coordinated in timing and able to rearrange the day’s events to accommodate the weather. The TD was so full of local knowledge, it was like attending an immersive class. Great camaraderie.

The hotels and food was excellent but the stand out was our bus driver/tour guide John. He was fantastic!

George our driver and tour guide was great!

Yes. All the meals and attractions included with the CIE Tour was impressive.

Excellent tour guide, accommodations and sites selected to visit. The travel bus was very comfortable. I especially enjoyed the visits with local farmers pub owners sheep herders and apple farm. All were so welcoming!

The tour was well organized. The hotels, the coach and sites were great!!!

Great service throughout the tour. Our tour guide was exceptional. Noel was great. Very funny. Always giving us insight not only about the sites, but also gave us insight into the culture and history of Ireland.

Let the adventure begin.

Service was exceptional, Our tour director and bus driver made the trip interesting and were very knowledgeable and you could tell how much they loved Iceland.

I had a great time on my trip and enjoyed the scenery and experiences of the culture. I would really like to go back with the CIE and experience more.

Excellent Intro to Ireland

My niece and I took the 6 day 5 nights Taste of Ireland tour. It was excellent and we enjoyed every minute. Brian, our driver and tour guide, was extremely knowledgable and gave great insight into the history and modern day life in Ireland. Hotels and meals were great. I am already looking into doing the Scotland tour with CIE next year.

We had a wonderful time. Loved Iceland! The country was beautiful and the food was great. Everything was planned very well. Enjoyed!

Brian our tour guide was fantastic, very knowledgeable and funny. .

CIE's Scottish Dream tour truly was a dream! Highly recommended!

What a great way for first-time international travelers to experience beautiful Scotland! We loved our Scottish Dream tour with CIE! We had a great variety of top-notch hotel accommodations, delicious food/meals (yes, even the haggis! ), and we knew our safety was priority one with our coach driver, Mike. Our tour guide, Fiona was a wealth of knowledge, very patient, and so much fun! We saw such awesome sights, got to rub shoulders with many other marvelous people. My favorite part was meeting Anita, the highland 'coo', and her sheep dog friends!! (In addition to all those beautiful castles we toured!) Thank you, CIE Tours! We can hardly wait to do this again!!

The itinerary was wonderful and our tour guide Brian was fantastic. The accommodations were nice and the hotel breakfast was good. What I enjoyed most about the Irish Adventure was the sites we were able to visit. My favorite place was Blarney Castle and Cliffs Of Moher. I was also pleasantly surprised with the sheepdog demonstration. I highly recommend this tour because it had all the "go to" places to vist.

Ireland and Brian... Exceptional!

The tour and tour guide Brian were exceptional. Brian made the tour and the sights even more special with the history and humor he added. A few less than perfect items as part of the tour, but overall a great experience!!

From rhe moment I arrived in Ireland to the moment I was dropped off at the airport for my flight home, I felt at home by the CIE staff and vendors.
So many things were included in my tour, it made the planning effortless.
Our tour director was amazing, and I met so many wonderful people.
I was able to see so much of Ireland, and learned so much. I got so much for the cost of the tour, it was a good value.

Unique experiences with a wonderful kind and humorous guide Denis Fitzgeral

Great excursions. Wonderful tor guide. Different aspects of country shown . Apple orchard, lovely and different from usual tours.

Maria was a great tour guide
