Highlights of Britain - 13 Days/12 Nights
Great tour!

Our tour guide was wonderful! He was extremely knowledgeable and a great presenter! Loved everything we did and the places we stayed. It was amazing how many places that we visited. Loved the history and countryside. Chose this tour because it covered so much of Wales too.

Irish Classic - 13 Days/12 Nights
Great vacation

This was our first international vacation to Ireland and it was a very good tour . The places we went to were great and the scenery along the routes were beautiful. The tour guide Liam was very good and knowledgeable. He entertained us and knew a lot of Ireland’s history . Our tour bus driver Peter was fantastic driver and friendly. We met so many nice people in our tour group. We had a lot of fun. The food was great. This tour is a well planned tour and you see many sights. I would recommend this tour and CIE tours. In fact we are planning another trip and will be using CIE tours again.

Touring Spain without pain.

Best of Britain - 9 Days/8 Nights
Awesome tour of UK highlights!

First off, we had the best tour guide from Britain! Lisa not only was a wealth of knowledge & knew the history of all the sights we saw, her sense of humor & connection with our travel group made this a phenomenal tour. Great hotels, good food, unexpected stops at other points of interest, made our whole trip exceptional. The sights we saw were all highlights for England, Wales & Edinburgh in Scotland — all things we wanted to see. Well organized, prompt timing for touring, & we just loved the sights selected to see. An amazing trip all the way around!

Taste of Scotland & Ireland - 11 Days/10 Nights
Fabulous trip

This was a bucket list trip for us. Every detail was taken care of. All we had to do was show up. Ollie was a wonderful guide and driver. We were able to see and experience so much more than we would have on our own

Scots Irish Tour - 11 Days/10 Nights

The hotels were great and loved the castles. Jamey was a terrific driver and very knowledgeable. Matt was so helpful when I had a health issue. Very knowledgeable also.

Irish Supreme - 9 Days/8 Nights
Truly supreme!

The Irish Supreme tour truly lives up to its name. Every detail was carefully planned and taken care of. Our attendants, from the driver to the tour guides, were all knowledgeable and friendly. The city and countryside were equally beautiful. All accommodations were beyond expectations. This was our first CIE tour but it will not be our last, we are hooked! Do yourselves a favor and book it soon, you will not be disappointed.

Icelandic Explorer - 10 days/9 nights
Overall great trip!

Overall great trip with beautiful scenery, meaningful commentary, and a great selection of activities and stops. Each hotel was different and had its own charm and scenery. All were comfortable and the breakfast provided was excellent. The bus was comfortable and allowed for good viewing of the scenery along the way. The selection of stops and activities was perfect!

Best of Spain - 9 Days/8 Nights
Spain was fantastic.

Spain was fantastic. Amazing attractions, comfortable hotels, tasty meals. Skilled bus driver. The people were kind and funny. The only improvement I would suggest is allowing enough time getting from place to place so you could take photos and not feel like you are in a foot race.

Taste of Italy with Sorrento - 10 Days/9 Nights
A Trip of a lifetime!

We absolutely loved the entire adventure. The agenda highlighted the must see and do while im Italy. Every place we visited was exceptional! My wife and I thoroughly enjoyed every aspect of this trip. Romina our guide was a wealth of knowledge and went above and beyond to make certain everyone's needs were met.

I would highly recommend CIE Tours for their professionalism, sites, and accommodations..

Irish Classic - 13 Days/12 Nights

Excellent itinerary and great tour guide

Taste of Iceland Coach Tour - 6 Days/5 Nights
Excellent tour filled with incredible sites and wonderful memories

Our excitement paled compared to the reality of this tour. Excellent driver and knowledgeable tour guide made our trip a trip of a lifetime.

Icelandic Explorer - 10 days/9 nights
Iceland - an incredible, once-in-a-lifetime adventure awaits

Our 10-day tour of Iceland was thrilling! We had anticipated an exciting adventure and were amazed that we received a once-in-a-lifetime experience. Volcanoes, boiling sulfur springs, roaring waterfalls, incredible lava fields, soothing lagoons, and whale-watching, all await you. The hotels were 5-star, immaculate and modern. The food was deliciously gourmet, prepared meticulously by experienced chefs. Our guide and driver were friendly and provided a wealth of information about Iceland, its people, its history, and its culture.

We love the fact that in a CIE tour, everything is included in the initial price. Not like other tour companies that secretly add on extra costs during the visit. We also like the fact that the bus driver and the tour guide work together perfectly, answer our many questions patiently, and make the trip very pleasant and enjoyable. Our guide, Donna, would often ask our driver to describe his experiences as a native Icelandic citizen. This made the trip extremely interesting. We also felt welcome in Iceland as a tourist and we respected their country and their ancient culture. CIE did a great job of creating an ideal experience all around. We would definitely recommend this trip to those who crave the natural beauty and ancient history of spectacular Iceland.

Taste of Scotland - 6 Days/5 Nights
A wee bit o' Scottish "craic!"

Our tour guides (Keith and Laurence) were great. They had an overwhelming knowledge of Scotland and Ireland. They knew how to handle all different types of personalities and any situation that came up. The food was great. All of the staff at the hotels were very friendly and helpful. The second hotel we stayed (Muthu) was a little dated. It seemed like it was slowly being updated. The bed was new and clean but the carpets and furniture were old, stained, and ripped. Not really anything to do there, but I think it was more of a place to sleep halfway through the tour. Overall, the trip was great, wish we had taken a longer trip because we drove through and near some places we would've like to have seen. Love the people of Scotland!

English Odyssey - 14 Days/13 Nights
English Countryside tour

I thought we received a wonderful overview of England due to the places we visited. The tour was overall wonderful, well-organized. . It was much more enjoyable than I thought due to the smaller group size of 14 people. The number of those in the group made traveling and managing us much easier. The itinerary was full but allowed time for exploring, and I did not feel rushed.

The "Hand picked" hotels were a real treat, especially Buxted Park Hotel, Chilston Park Hotel, and Briery Wood Country House. I did not think the last night stay at Oxford Belfry Hotel was up to CIE standards. All other accommodations were 4 and 5 star.

Highlights of Britain - 13 Days/12 Nights
Great trip with fantastic guide.

Visiting all of the out of the ordinary places that were new and exciting. Gareth was the best tour guide, he was extremely knowledgeable and friendly. He made it enjoyable by imparting his knowledge of all the history and joking around with the patrons. He allowed people to go off on their own when they desired. Lee was a fantastic driver, he was safe and maneuvered the coach very well.

The only negative comment is that some of the hotels were too far from town for those of us that enjoy walking around a town at night or go off and eat locally.

Scottish Daytripper - 6 Days/ 5 Nights
Loved the Daytripper!

I loved being able to stay in the same hotel in Glasgow every night. I really got to experience the local food, culture and people. Our guide Dedria and our driver Graham were fantastic! They had loads of interesting information about everywhere we visited!

Highlights of Britain - 13 Days/12 Nights
CIE did a very good job

The places we visited were great and we so enjoyed the tour experience and especially the Military Tatoo in Edinburgh. It was fantastic and we would highly recommend. The hotels were excellent, mostly Hiltons with good breakfasts and very clean, comfortable and spacious rooms and bathrooms. The bus was very good, for seat comfort and storage, except, it was way too cold, we had to wear coats and blankets in bus. The meals provided were very good. Our driver was excellent and drove safely. The information prior to the tour for preparation was excellent and the backpacks and name tags were great and so very useful. Our tour guide was very good and did a great job of keeping us informed and used WhatsApp to communication on the day's events and meal selections and sharing photos.

Scottish Daytripper - 6 Days/ 5 Nights
Excellent Experience

Every part of the tour was top notch and well organized. Excellent tour! Itinerary, tour guide, and coach driver were all wonderful! This itinerary was special as you remain at one hotel for your entire stay - great for those that don't want to pack/unpack multiple times.

Highlights of Britain - 13 Days/12 Nights
Our guide was fabulous, very knowledgeable, a great adventure.

All was good to very, very good. Our guide was excellent. Also the accomadations were very nice. We could have spent one more day in London visiting Big Ben and the London Bridge.
