Scottish Clans & Castles - 10 Days/9 Nights
I liked the commentary given each & every day about the culture, food, people, history, & geography of Scotland. I loved he big cities but also small town Scotland also, culture wise. One thing I wish we spent a little longer in Glencoe. Overall I loved the vacation. Some hotels & food could have been better. Glad Scotland was the first European country to visit. Thank you!

Taste of Scotland & Ireland - 11 Days/10 Nights
CIE did a wonderful job with organizing the tour. Transfers from one hotel to the next went smoothly. Transfer from the last hotel to the airport was very smooth. The package they sent to prepare you for the trip was outstanding. Our bus driver George made our trip fun and educational. He was an outstanding part of this trip. The first few days in Scotland had a lot of driving and not too many stops. Not sure if that can change to have more stops to keep your interest. Maybe take away Glasgow and add an additional day to Ireland. Maybe a night in Belfast. Met some wonderful people on our tour and enjoyed meeting people from different places.
The other change I would recommend is having smaller vans pick up people at the airport and take them to the first hotel. Maybe reserve a conference room they can stay in until rooms are available. They would have the opportunity to meet others on the tour. Staying at the airport waiting for others to arrive was draining and unpleasant. Really no place to wait comfortably.

Better Than Anticipated
Perfectly amazing tour in every way.. Loved the way bus seats were assigned and rotated. Brian McD. is in my opinion CIE's best Driver, Guide and Tour Director, all in one! He made the trip so special for everybody. CIE should give him a raise, extend his contract, and hope his extreme talent stays with CIE. The way luggage was handled each day could not have been better. Hotels were above average, luxury or near luxury. The final room at the castle was over the top luxury! Comfort stops were timed appropriately. The bus comfort was top notch. Customer Service was very good from start to finish! It was clear that the customer's experience mattered. We will travel with CIE again! Can't imagine another tour company can do it all better!

Irish Classic - 13 Days/12 Nights
It was a great bus tour. We chose CIE Tours from family recommendations. The bus tour of Ireland was fantastic. We wouldn't have been able to see this much of Ireland on our own. The hotels were very accommodating and the places and people we meet on the tour were great. Our tour guide Brandan and driver Ollie were the best combination. Brendan was very well-informed on all his facts and dates of Ireland history. Ollie was a safe and the best driver I ever seen. He also contributed to important facts about Ireland. Overall it was the best experience we ever had. I would sincerely recommend this tour to all wanting to see Ireland.

Scottish Dream - 9 Days/8 Nights
Loved the beautiful historical sites-especially the Tatoo and sheep dogs. Crowded bus-difficult to see anything from the bus. No way to contact tour director. Hotels and meals were fine. The bus driver, Rob, was good. It was difficult to see anything while sitting on the bus. We were packed in like sardines. Linda, the tour director had great historical stories. It was difficult to follow her with the crowds and we had no way to contact her. We enjoyed the various sites. Scotland is beautiful and the people were very friendly. Hotels and food were fine and we met nice people on the tour. First bus tour for us -not sure we would do this again due to crowded bus and having to pack up every morning. It was a learning experience.

An amazing trip to Scotland.
Fiona and Mark were both amazing. What they added to the trip while they were we’re traveling to and from destinations was just amazing. Fiona seemed to know everything about Scotland and shared it all with us. Mark made sure we were always comfortable and got us to and from destinations in comfort and safe. When he shared while the coach was parked it was pure joy. The tour was thoughtfully put together and it filled every day. To make the tour greener, I would suggest having people pick what items they wanted in their packets (ie backpacks, water bottles, adapters, etc). Some travelers already have those items and it will just go to waste.

Excellent Comprehensive Tour of Ireland
Friendly people in all the hotels and towns. Tours were well planned and informative. Driver was very knowledgeable. Very organized tour. Pre tour information was very useful. Hotels were nice and food was good however, meals were rushed. Would like more time and not be made to order immediately after sitting down. Tour guide /driver was awesome.

Excellentt tour of Ireland.
I definitely recommend CIE. I will be using them for Scotland. I had an excellent driver. I traveled solo and felt comfortable. I met some great people by doing this tour. I loved the Causeway and Kilarney... The Irish hospitality is wonderful.

Don’t miss CIE’s Irish Adventure
I thought CIE did a great job! The accommodations were wonderful with boutique type hotels that were above average. Most had no air conditioning, but that didn’t matter with the cool evening temperatures. Our tour guide, Patrick, was also wonderful…very knowledgeable and a Killarney native. The stops along the way were all spectacular! The food and supplied meals were plentiful and mostly delicious. One suggestion is to build in more time for meals…we felt rushed for several meals.
The included tours were also mostly wonderful. The only one I would pass on was the Titanic museum in Belfast. It was very very crowded, had WAY too much information to even begin to get through (on limited time) and it was very confusing. It was a disappointment to us. You’re on the bus a lot, but that’s the nature of the beast. The bus was comfortable and since we paid to be in a smaller group, we had only 26 people and could move around and stretch out on the bus. I’d highly recommend going with a smaller group.
All in all, we were very pleased and would highly recommend CIE’s Irish Adventure trip!

All the sites of interest were amazing. Could not have packed more into this trip. Cannot wait to return to Ireland to see the southern end of the island!
