4.6/5

The tour leader Pat O’Reardon and driver Graeme Campbell were great. I learned so much about monarchs, history and the Scottish landscapes. And while I was there, Storm Babet hit and some roads were down to one lane. We couldn’t see Glamis castle but we thoroughly enjoyed Ian Burnett who let us sample amazing truffles and explained chocolates properties.

See above note.

I thought the trip was very well organized and informative!
Very nice trip.
My only issue was when we had dinner as a group. When we were in a separate back room, it became ridiculously noisy and no one could hear the other one talking. I think it would be less noisy if we had been seated at separate tables but near each other. In a separate room, the sound has nowhere to go and it gets very loud.

Awesome Experience

Everything was so thought through by CIE to make this a stress-free trip. I can not express enough how wonderful this experience was for me. From the booking all the way through there was great customer service. I eill definitely use CIE again. Our tour guide/bus driver Dominick was so personable and knowledgeable with a great sense of humor. We saw incredible sights and never felt rushed. It was a memorable trip for sure.

Great Irish Tour

Irish Classic is a very good tour. If you only have time to venture once in a country, this tour encapsulates much of what Ireland has to offer. Joseph is a wonderful tour guide and is able to convey both local and country history. We learned that he trains future tour guides in the off season. CIE is in a good position if he trains them. Wish we had more time at Blarney Castle grounds, Killarney, Belfast. My only complaint would be to consider those of that do not consume alcoholic beverages and make sure there is something for us too!.

The tour was extremely well organized thanks to Brian (tour director) & Pat (our driver). Brian was a wealth of information on history, places of interest & restaurant recommendations.

We loved the tour. The restaurants where the group dinners were held in Rome and Sorrento were not good. The dinners in Venice and Florence were much better. Our tour directors were exceptional.

Perfectly Organized

Everything was perfectly organized. Each stop was ready for the Bus load of people that showed up. The arranged meals were all delicious and our Guide/Driver was very knowledgeable and shared many interesting facts and stories as he expertly drove the bus through tight winding roads.

Trip of a lifetime !!

The venues chosen were excellent. Even the weather cooperated. It was the trip of a lifetime.

Everything was taken care of from the airport to return to the airport at the end of my trip. The booklet gave the answers to anything I wondered about

Lovely Ireland

We had a very good vacation. We saw lots of Southern Ireland. Such a beautiful country. We enjoyed the pubs and Irish entertainment immensely

Amazing tour and tour guide

This tour was more than I imagined and I am so glad I went. We went to some very amazing places and with the expert guidance of our tour guide Brendan we got a very insightful history of Ireland. Brendan was absolutely an amazing tour guide!! I highly recommend this tour and have been telling everyone about it.

Nice hotels

Absolutely fantastic tour! A must tour for first time visitors to Ireland

The tour was very organized and the sites and walking tour guides were awesome! Everything went smoothly thanks to our guide, Brian and driver, Pat. They were a dynamic duo and made my vacation special!👍

Fun, busy,, learned a lot of history.

Schedule was full, food was good, tour director and bus driver were pros. Weather interrupted our itinerary but the company worked out places to go.

We’ll thought out tour!

Wonderfully well thought out tour with great mix of local and tourist stops, as well as “guide-yourself” time. I really liked having the time to explore on my own in the cities. Tour guide and driver were entertaining and fun!

Beautiful, friendly, and serene country. Highly recommend.

The tour guide was knowledgeable and patient. We covered a lot of ground and took in a lot of information and beauty. The hotels were great and the meals at the pubs were more than plentiful. The countryside was gorgeous and the locals were friendly. I'd love to see Ireland again. Absolutely loved it.

An absolute must. Everyone and everything was top notch

Liam our guide is a gentleman and a historian. We learned quite a lot about Irish history and the sights. I would recommend CIE for all Irish travel.

It Was a Dream!

What a great time! There was excellent communication from the tour directors for every aspect of our trip. The hotels were just awesome and everyone was very unique. The stops we made were very interesting and historical just like I like. I would very much recommend this tour company and specifically this tour!

Highly recommend!

Denis was awesome! Loved the tour and his stories/experiences that he shared with us!

Great tour guide Peter we felt like we saw a lot of Ireland.
