4.6/5

Wonderful experience. Well run operation; professional personnel.

My agent was a pro. Bus was clean and comfortable. Driver was outstanding; friendly; well informed guide.

Fun in Scotland

CIE is a wonderfully professional tour company. We We enjoyed almost everything about our clans and castles tour in Scotland.

Easy to book the trip and non-stop flights from Philadelphia on American but I received no notification about seat assignments. By the time I realized we had no seat assignments, I could not get 2 seats together without paying extra. It did not seem like the seats were any different in size and we aren’t big drinkers so it ended up not being worth the additional cost (which is a reflection on American Airlines and not CIE) but I wish I had more of a chance to select the seats and maybe I could have avoided the extra expense.

Great vacation!

Great tour guide in Scotland; we would have preferred a guide for Ireland as well. Very well laid out schedule, lots of things to see everyday. Bring wet weather clothes for Scotland as it rained pretty much every day.

Very helpful, very professional.

A 12 1/2 hour bus trip fro Edinburgh to next sop is too long!!

Mary Larkin was wonderful to work with. She knew what we needed and provided it.

You will not regret booking with this company

My husband and I did the guided Ireland Pub tour in September 2019 for our honeymoon. From start to finish this trip was incredible. Our bus driver, Johnny, really made this trip memorable. His commentary throughout our tour was humorous and entertaining. He was so knowledgeable about every area we passed through and the history of the country.
We did have some issues with our flights which was not CIE's fault (the airline company cancelled our flights a month out) which was resolved quickly by team members.

Scenic, informative, fun!

The tour was quite organized, so there was no wasted time. We had a lot on our itinerary, and we were able to do it all without wasting time. I really liked the commentaries by the tour guides, Joe, then our driver, John, in Ireland. The history that they related to us was quite interesting. They also had a great sense of humor!

Generally a Good Experience

No issues with it

Very professional Host/driver made the trip

Each time I was connected with John Jennings in Ireland, I was treated to a kind, patient and caring individual. He was most professional. When I was connected to a guide in New Jersey the reservation got screwed up.

Very easy, well informed by Dara, quickly answered email, comfortable with service and price.

Everything was superb . And we hope that if we ever go back to Ireland, we can get Colm Marshall for our bus driver and tour guide. He is so entertaining and made the entire trip worth it.

Helpful/Freindly

Excellent tour company, tour guides, and drivers! Love the company!

CIE is a very reputable, service oriented, company that constantly tries to please the customers. Their guides and drivers are very knowledgeable about the locations they represent and anticipate your every need. Your safety is their top priority! I highly recommend their services to anyone who loves to travel.

Liked the number of different places we visited on the trip in addition to the beautiful countryside.

Great guide, fantastic tour of a beautiful country

Our guide Joe Lavery was fantastic. He provided great information that made the tour fun and interesting. We were able to see a great amount of Ireland and felt like we got a good understanding of its past history with the Jewels of Ireland tour.
Would definitely recommend this tour for anyone wanting to visit Ireland.
