4.6/5

Brendan was fantastic

Brendan went above and beyond to give us the history of the different areas we were in. He was very helpful to allow us an opportunity to get in a round of golf. A true asset to your business

Fantastic trip, lunch and look around stops could be longer

Travel agent handled this

Great tour guide Sean; cared about each of his 25 travelers..

I would recommend them for taking care of details & small group travel. Didn’t like the first Clayton Hotel in Dublin due to no AC; Front desk didn’t bring a fan even when requested; location way out with no real restaurants/shops within walking & the first Hop on Hop Off Bus location is 30min walk away.. should have used Academy Plaza Hotel twice since it’s in a great location for restaurants & shopping and the Bus is right there!

Very well planned trip!

We would definitely recommend using CIE for an Ireland tour group. They have been doing tours for many years, and have the itinerary fine tuned to see as much as possible with a group. The hotels were 4 star places and the dinners included were great.

First trip abroad felt well taken care of

After a brief discussion with my agent Phyllis and told her what some things I wanted to see and do in Ireland she got back to me with a trip and even made sure my extra day was accommodated! Only thing different is maybe more time to explore some areas. I felt so pampered . Just had to worry what time I needed to get up

Patient
Easy and informative
Detailed cooperative

The itinerary was well planned. The tour guides were very knowledgeable. and communicated very well.

Great Trip

I handled most of the booking through the chat feature and it was a quicker way to do this than by phone because the wait to talk with someone can take some time. Everything worked well except the flight schedule could have been better. We had two stops going with a 5 hour layover on the first stop and a really tight connection on the second. There were only two stops on the way back but still a five hour layover. Everyone I chatted with at CIE was very helpful and professional.

Outstanding service and enjoyed the tour.

Recommend them for you travel.

We had a great time. Just a few things could be tweeked

We went through a travel agent

My travel agent suggested CIE

Knowledgeable and friendly people. No stress, all taken care of.

We loved that everything was taken care of. When we got to a hotel, we just picked up our key and our bags were already in our room. All the guides were knowledgeable and welcoming. Food was good and service was friendly.

Our Driver/Guide, Murt, was excellent. He was a skilled driver, knowledgeable about every area of Ireland that we toured, personable, entertaining and had great suggestions about what to do on our own.

One of the best tours I have ever been on. Everything perfect

Everything from the motor coach to the hotels - to the meals - to the timing - to the driver - Murt OShea - to the itinerary - perfect

Well organized and kept to a busy schedule. Excellent bus driver / tour guide with a good sense of humour.

Highly recommend

Easy to work with.

It was a great trip. Saw lots of historic sites and beautiful countryside.

We had a great time. Traveling through 2 countries in 10 days May have been a little ambitious. We were up and on the bus by 7:00 or 8:00 each morning and riding in the bus for hours everyday. We didn’t have enough time at the Titanic tour. We were exhausted the first week and feel asleep on the bus several times. The 4 of us that went on the trip together, came home with a Wee Bit of The COVID. Luckily it is a mild case.

Yes I would recommend CIE

My agent handle all the booking and it went well. The trip was 8 days and we saw a lot and would have loved to stay longer in some areas.

The tour and our guide Dermot were excellent. We enjoyed all of our stops. The accommodations, the free time and the tour was a great balance. The only thing that was a setback is we got in at 5:30 am the first day and could not get into our rooms until 4:00 pm. That made for a very long day.

Affordable tours personnel awesome - some hotels on tour were not great

Affordable tours personnel were awesome. I really appreciated Maya's follow-though on all of our pre tour informaiton. I thought the overall tour was great. There were 2 hotels that I would never go back - Cardiff Hilton and the London Kensington. The London Kensington was too far away from the Toots bus stop (1 mile walk) and it would be better to have a hotel a little closer in. Also - we loved the hotel outside edinburgh but once again...it was too far from Edinburgh. Is there any way to provide shuttle service to Edinburgh so people can spend more time there.
