Scottish & Irish Gold - 16 Days/15 Nights-Overall a fantastic trip
The trip was fantastic. While I loved the hotels I didn’t like that in Scotland they were usually too far away from town so we could eat dinner on our own. The food was fine but hotel food is still hotel food. I am not sure how to resolve this since the hotels were obviously chosen for their unique, high quality. If I were just rating Ireland I would give it a 5 but the Scotland guide was very knowledgeable, he was not very personable.

Taste of Ireland (Tour A) - 7 Days/6 Nights
CIE is the best! Everything was just wonderful. Our bus driver/tour director was so, so nice. Shout out to Denis Green. Super knowledgeable, great driver and humorous. We learned so much about Ireland from him. Hotels were very nice. Irish people are extremely nice and friendly. I highly recommend this tour.

Taste of Scotland & Ireland - 10 Days/9 Nights-So many amazing sites.
I love the checking in and out of hotels, the carrying of luggage, getting to places of interest without standing in lines. Nice hotels, restaurants etc.

Irish Adventure - 8 Days/7 Nights - The Joys of the Magical Land of Eire with No Worries
Patrick was OUTSTANDING! Actually, I feel like he became a friend--and now we MISS him. Learned so much from his accounts of the history and culture of Ireland as we rode along. Also, everything he recommended turned out to be SPOT ON. He nailed it every time. If Patrick said it was great, we did it--and were so glad!
Want to commend Patrick for something else--Bobbi lost her diamond wedding band and was frantic with worry--Patrick found it for her on the tour bus--and promptly returned it. He deserves a raise for that--what a gem of a gentleman!
A few non-Patrick-related pointers. We didn't use the nice backpacks you sent us--I'm a fashionista so used a snazzy backpack, and my husband had a bigger and sportier backpack he used. I looked around and saw only four out of 24 of us were using the CIE backpacks. Because that was a significant expense, I suggest skipping the inclusion of backpacks, and instead send a laundry bag (which is necessary, but not expensive)--with the accessories tucked inside it (water jug, power adapter, etc.). Use the leftover money to buy tickets for some other event. Maybe that WONDERFUL Irish dancing performance in Killarney could be included? That was PRICELESS and a highlight of our trip.
Maybe a small thing, but our bed at the hotel in Killarney was saggy in the middle and it listed to one side--room 129, if memory serves. All the other beds in the other hotels were great. And the linens were exception everywhere--nice cotton sheets and down comforters--just lovely.
Lastly, the first place we had lunch--some pub outside of Dublin--had simply AWFUL food. Flabby, overcooked veggies, giant chunks of dry chicken in the salad--some said the Shepherd's pie was good, but most thought the food sub-par--maybe another option for the first lunch? Otherwise, we enjoyed our food during the tour and were most content.
We would definitely recommend CIE tours--we were so impressed and delighted. A couple of small tweaks to optimize--that's all. Was a wonderful vacation and we felt very well taken care of.

Taste of Scotland & Ireland - 11 Days/10 Nights - CIE was great!
CIE took care of every aspect of our tour from transportation, accommodations, meals, as well as our air travel. Each day was a pleasant surprise! Our hotels were top notch and the meals were good as well. We were able to see incredible landscapes and landmarks as well learn much about the history and lifestyles of Scotland and Ireland. The specials shows were amazing especially the Celtic show and the Medieval one.

Best of Britain - 9 Days/8 Nights-A trip of a lifetime!
Itinerary included all the sites we wanted to see. Hotels and food included were very good. Best part of all was out tour director Lisa and our driver Lee. Both were very knowledgeable about the areas visited, and very helpful and professional to all of the travelers onboard. I would love to do another tour with them leading the way!

Scottish & Irish Gold - 15 Days/14 Nights-Fantastic Vacation
I would recommend this tour to anyone who wants to see much of Scotland and Ireland. Our tour guides were friendly, knowledgeable, and fun. It was a once-in-a-lifetime trip for us and definitely met our expectations. You have to be prepared to live out of your suitcase and not have much downtime. I knew that ahead of time but it was a little harder to do than I had anticipated. It was a beautiful trip that I will never forget.

Irish Odyssey - 12 Days/11 Nights
The Irish Odyssey tour was amazing. CIE Tours was very organized from being picked up at the airport, during the tour, to making sure we had transport back to the airport. John Callinan was an excellent tour guide. He made the time on the bus go quickly, sharing his love and knowledge of Ireland.

Everything about CIE was so easy from booking to the actual tour. They were very responsive to all questions and concerns prior to the tour. And the tour itself was fabulous. Well planned and wonderfully executed.
