Irish Adventure - 8 Days/7 Nights
The quality of the tour relies heavily on the tour director. Murt was fabu
Fascinating ancient sites and history. Great pubs and meals. The hotels were excellent. They clearly value their CIE relationship. Murt saw to the small things, the opportunities of the moment, and the comfort of his tourists. It was well thought out. The your strings together a bunch of worthy destinations and it flows beautifully. Things weren’t included because they were in the route but because they were worth seeing. The bus is quite comfortable and our tour director was extremely knowledgeable. Good marks all the way around.

Scottish & Irish Dream - 14 Days/13 Nights
Our tour guide, John, for Scotland was so kind and gracious. He made Scotland extremely enjoyable. And our tour guide for Ireland, Eamonn really knew his history.

Scots Irish Tour - 11 Days/10 Nights
Great trip
Accommodations were great, especially Kilronan Castle. Transportation was fine. Meals, especially Crosskeys Inn and the Medieval feast were exceptional. Sightseeing was fine especially since rhe weather cooperated. The places we stayed were excellent. The service was great except for one place which was just ok. The things we did and places we went were great choices. And, Darragh, Ian and Chris were exceptional.

Tony, the guide was awesome
The Irish people were super friendly and kind. Tony, the guide, did a great job sharing interesting information. And fascinating history and gorgeous scenery. Very well organized tour. Irish people were as friendly as they come. And Aer Lingus provided lots of papering compared to US no-frills airlines.

Wonderful trip!
The Irish Adventure trip is well organized and gives you a big picture of this beautiful, friendly, interesting country. Best tour guide EVER (Murt). He knows his history, and he loves his country. Murt goes above and beyond what is already a great trip. Ireland’s countryside is beautiful. The excursions are top notch. The food and accommodations are really good. We had a really nice crowd too-always a plus.

Wonderful trip
The country and its people are fabulous. The hotels we stayed in were very welcoming and charming. Our tour was wonderful. Our tour guide Betty and David the driver were professional, enlightening and such a joy to travel with. Betty was a great Scottish historian with knowledge on the country. Would love to do ti again.

Irish Legends - 9 Days/8 Nights
This tour was chock-full of things to see and do.
I thought the tour was well-planned and executed. Lots of cultural things to see and tours to learn about the Irish culture. All events planned were on-time and as described i the itinerary. It was just so well planned and executed. Nothing went wrong and everybody (restaurants and tours) were ready for our arrival and was on schedule.

Irish Classic - 13 Days/12 Nights
Our first bus tour, saw a lot more of Ireland this way, our driver Ollie was a pro at driving around all those narrow roads and mountains. Our narrator Brendan was great with all the places and history, kept us all laughing with all his jokes and loved his singing and Irish brogue. Loved that most meals were included, hotels were nice, Enjoyed Giant's causeway, sheep herding demonstration, walking tours were very informative, singing and dancing shows, overall, a great trip.

Irish Adventure - 9 Days/8 Nights
A wonderful time in the Emerald Isle.
The coach was nice and clean. Our driver, Patrick, was professional, informative, friendly and above all an excellent driver. He negotiated some very difficult situations with ease and skill.
The itinerary of the tour itself was good; having never been to Ireland before, I think we saw a great deal of what we were supposed to see in the country. The hotels for the most part, were adequate but not great. Our room at the International Hotel in Killarney was very small and we were very cramped for space. The Croke Park Hotel was not a good choice as it is directly across from the Croke Park stadium and there happened to be a big soccer game there on our night there. It was madness inside and outside the hotel.
The food was very good, but a bit monotonous thru the trip.
Overall, we had a wonderful time and would use CIE again on any future trips.

Irish Adventure - 8 Days/7 Nights
Best way to see and do more
We loved the fact that the planning and the driving is done for us. We were able to see and do many of the things that we had heard about and talked about for years. The tour was lots of fun, well organized, and our driver was great! It is very fast paced, and it is tough to deal with hotel hopping every night, but it's nice to let someone else do the planning and the driving. Taking a bus tour was the best way that we could see and do more in Ireland.

Irish Classic - 13 Days/12 Nights
Thoughts on our Classic Ireland Tour
This 13 day/12 night tour showcased the depth and breadth of the Irish Republic (Euros) and Northern Island (UK pounds) to the extent possible within the allocated time. My family enjoyed our immersion in Irish culture, Irish history and traditions, the magnificent landscapes, Irish Whiskey and Beef Guinness Stew, the tour bus amenities, most of our hotel stays and their central locations, the various shopping opportunities, some free time to explore on our own especially in Dublin and Belfast, ... must be the Blarney Stone in me. Can't forget our very knowledgeable and hilarious tour guide Brandon who is very customer oriented and quite a singer. He gave me a greater insight into Ireland by seeing Ireland through his eyes.
I thought this tour was a great introduction to Ireland which covered the most popular tourist sights/sites and then some. There were some places where we just didn't have enough time to explore but that would have taken time away from the other locations we did visit. My family plans to use this tour experience as a basis for future CIE Tours targeting certain locations we missed.

Irish Classic - 13 Days/12 Nights
CIE Tours is the BEST!!
We just finished our 11th CIE tour, and the Irish Classic for the 2nd time in 4 years. This is our favorite tour of Ireland! Our driver (Ollie), and guide (Brendan), made our trip wonderful. Plenty of comfort stops along the way. The walking tour guides of Derry (Ken McElroy), Westport (Steven Clarke), and Waterford (Jack Burtchaell), were all awesome, with great history stories to tell. What can I say, I'm bias toward CIE Tours, as this was our 11th tour, and number 12 is already booked!
