Scottish & Irish Dream - 14 Days/13 Nights-A wonderful adventure to see much of the Scottish and Irish landmarks.
Great Tour Guide and Driver in Scotland.
Irish tour was with a driver/guide and that was a difficult task for one person to navigate those narrow roads and give country info at the same time.

Irish Gold - 9 Days/8 Nights-Ireland, it is worth the trip
We were able to see many sights in Ireland. IT was our first time out of country. We traveled with five couples and we had a very enjoyable time and made many memories. The bus was comfortable, our tour guide, Brian was very knowledgeable, and the bus driver, Martin has an art of getting around some tight spots. We loved the food and how nice everyone was. Ireland's history is just fascinating.
The Cliffs of Moher were breathtaking. It was hard to believe that we were sitting in Sean's Bar and the bar was around since 900 AD. Galway was quaint and we enjoyed a fish and chips lunch before our walking tour. Killary Harbour catamaran cruise was just beautiful. We would have loved to spend more time at each place but understand there was a schedule and we had to keep it. Kylemore Abbey was also very beautiful with much to see. The Blarney castle was very nice but we needed more time to explore the grounds. The sheep dog visit was great and our tour guide recommended we get lunch to go so we wound up eating it on the Cliffs of Moher and did not waste time in the cafe. We loved the entertainment at Kate Kearney's Cottage. The scenery driving there was spectacular. The food was delicious too. We had a lovely time at the Marine bar drinking Irish coffee and listening to the music. The Killarney National Park jaunting car ride was very relaxing and our carriage driver kept us laughing. The Guinness storehouse tour was interesting.
The weather could not have been any nicer. Sunny, breezy and in the 60's. We dodged the rain just about the entire time. Even our taxi driver told us that he had been to the Cliffs of Moher five times and has never seen the water.
We would have loved to have been able to check in to the Royal Marine hotel early the morning we arrived, since we were on an overnight flight but the rooms were not ready. We really liked The Great Southern Killarney hotel. It was charming and the grounds were beautiful. The bed was comfortable and it was quiet. All the hotels were clean. There were even washcloths available at some of them. We were told ahead of time that wash clothes are not the usual in Ireland.
Please be aware that the soft drinks come in a little glass bottle and cost around four euro. Definitely ask what is included in the dinners that are part of the tour. Sometimes soft drinks are not included. Just coffee or hot tea. Also, please have extra euro on hand for all the walking tour guides, carriage drivers, tour guide, bus driver and everyone that you encounter on the tour. Some in our group were caught off guard and did not think they had to tip and one of the guides was a little upset. We couldn't get a straight answer before we left for vacation. You can carry US dollars and some hotels will do an exchange to euros. Or you can use your ATM card.
Bring a good rain jacket and walking shoes. Layering clothes is good. We were able to leave stuff on the bus and feel safe that it would not get stolen.

Best of Britain - 10 Days/9 Nights-Great Guide, Great Driver, Great Trip
Our guide David and our driver Colin were fantastic. David was very knowledgeable and he managed the group deftly. Through your tour, I was able to achieve the goal I had for the trip, which was to get a good overview of England, Scotland and Wales and decide where I wanted to explore next.

Terrific trip!! Phillip was an amazing tour guide and bus driver. Fantastic itinerary and we were blessed with good weather! Great group of people on the tour. Highly recommend CIE and the Day Tripper tour. Hotel in Adare was fantastic-large rooms, spotlessly clean. Food was great!

Taste of Italy with Sorrento - 10 Days/9 Nights-Hit most of the highlights along the way, but not all.
I would recommend and tour with them again. The nature of the is such that not all can be seen or enough time spent where you go.

Irish Legends - 10 Days/9 Nights
I enjoyed learning about Ireland, its history, its nature and its culture! It’s a beautiful country and being to take backroads with no worries of “whereabouts” was also a real treat! Our tour guide was a huge bonus and a delight!

Scottish Dream - 8 Days/7 Nights-Great trip and have recommended to friends
We had a great tour of Scotland and saw so many wonderful sights that it is hard to keep them all straight. Pat our tour guide was a delight and had great sense for what entertained our group and what would not capture our attention.
I also saw Pat go above and beyond trying to sort out unrelated travel issues people were having and he just reminded us that we were there to have fun and if he could lighten our load he would be happy to help.

Irish Adventure - 8 Days/7 Nights
Excellent tour Patrick the driver was very informative, kind, willing to help however he could. Thank you for the knowledge shared and his love for Killarney. The only thing we'd change along tour were some of menu selections at hotel dinners. Too many times menu felt the same as far as options

Scottish Isles & Glens - 12 Days/11 Nights-Wonderful adventure
Yes, I would recommend CIE Tours. The Scottish Isles and Glens Tour was a well planned and orchestrated trip. It targeted the areas of Scotland we were most interested in exploring. The amount of miles we covered and the beauty and history we experienced was phenomenal.

Taste of Ireland (Tour C) - 5 Days/4 Nights-Magnifique
The tour was fantastic and Chris, the tour guide was awesome. Very informative about the history of Ireland and told lots of funny stories. I’m 77 years old with bad knees and plantar fasciitis so Chris was very attentive helping me on and off the bus at every stop.
