Taste of Scotland & Ireland - 10 Days/9 Nights
We thoroughly enjoyed our guides and driver and learned so much from their narrations as we traveled on the bus and the stops. Informative, interesting, humorous and attentive. - always available for questions and assistance.

Ireland South Daytripper - 7 Days/6 Nights
Excellent!!
Our CIE tour guide Sean was such a great host for our trip. He was super knowledgeable with all the stops and provided entertainment in between the stops. Our accommodations were well fitted, and the food that was provided was top-notch. I traveled solo on this trip and never once felt alone. Everyone was very welcoming.

Taste of Italy - 7 Days/6 Nights
This trip was top notch
This is my third CIE tour (Iceland, Ireland, Italy). I know that they work hard to coordinate our experiences and plan events. This trip was also top notch. Having someone to do the planning, getting entrance fees taken care of in advance, and transportation is always worth it. Plenty of time to explore on our own, and often other fellow travelers will go as as a group. My only regret was that I chose to visit Italy during the time that the Leaning Tower of Pisa was being repaired - it would have been nice to get some photos (like you see on advertisements).

Gems of Northern England - 9 Days/8 Nights
Well taken care of......
Accommodations were very good throughout. The driver and guide were excellent communicators. Guide, John Cunningham was very knowledgeable and personable. We chose this tour because the stops along the way were places we definitely wanted to see. Having said that, I wish we would have had a little longer at each stop. I love the English breakfasts that were provided each day. The meal on the final evening was very good. Service was always good. I would definitely travel with CIE again.

Icelandic Explorer - 10 days/9 nights
an incredible 10 days exploring Iceland! 🇮🇸
The scenery and landscapes were beyond anything we could have imagined — from dramatic mountains, endless lava fields and powerful waterfalls to black sand beaches, glaciers, rugged coastlines and peaceful countryside. Around every corner there seemed to be another breathtaking view.
Our bus tour was such a wonderful way to experience the country, allowing us to sit back, take it all in, and enjoy the ever-changing landscape. The beauty of Iceland is truly something you have to see to appreciate.
We came home with so many amazing memories and photographs, but most of all, an appreciation for just how spectacular this country really is. Iceland certainly did not disappoint! ❤️🇮🇸

Scottish & Irish Sampler - 7 Days/6 Nights
Got to see so much. Much more than if we had been on our own. The Military Tatoo was a highlight. Everything as stated was what we received. Guide and driver were excellent. Hotels were excellent. It was titled as a taste of Scotland and Ireland and I think that’s exactly what it was.

Irish Classic - 12 Days/11 Nights
Outstanding tour of Ireland!
The Irish Classic Tour was outstanding! Our tour director, Joe, was so very knowlegeable about the country, the sites and any other questions we could think to ask. PJ, our rock star bus driver, handled the interesting Ireland roads like a pro! The hotels were very nice overall, but be aware that AC is not what we are used to in the states. Food was great - decent selection, although very similar (one chicken, one fish, etc.) at the dinners that were included. The included attractions and stops were outstanding, as were the walking tour guides in the cities/towns. The Westport tour that included a few pubs, a chocolate sample and drinks was the best, while still sharing history as well. Everyone we talked to was very nice, both at the hotels, restaurants and in the country in general. We were very glad to be bused around rather than driving in unfamiliar cities with roads different from what we are used to here in the United States. Strongly recommend this tour of Ireland, especially for first time visitors.

Grand Tour - Italian Lakes to Amalfi Coast - 13 Days/12 Nights
CIE's Perfect TOUR of Italy!
This was our second CIE TOUR and we love CIE! Everything is very well planned! We knew exactly what was going to happen each day, where we were going, what we were going to see, where we would be eating and when we were free to be on our own! We loved seeing sooo much of Italy! We learned the geography of the land. We also learned Italy's history starting with ancient history to present day!! By walking through the ruins we felt like we were actually there!
We did and saw amazing things...the statue of David, the Piata, visiting the town centers. And we got to go for a gondola ride!! That has been in my "bucket list" for many years! We loved the walking tours and using our audio boxes! All of our sleeping accommodations were beautiful! We met very nice and helpful staff members from all of the hotels! The food was also amazing!! Our guide Andrea was sooo amazing! She knew so much and took good care of us! I don't know what my favorite part of the tour would be because I loved alll of it! We are planning our next CIE TOUR!

Grand Tour - Italian Lakes to Amalfi Coast - 13 Days/12 Nights
The trip was exciting and very well planned.
This tour was great, we didnt have to figure anything out, it was all taken care of. All the history and visiting so many places, we could never have did this on our own for the price CIE charges.

Ireland Walking & Hiking: The Northern Coast - 9 Days/8 Nights
The hikes and walking took us to very scenic parts of Ireland many people don’t get to see … Our guides Calliam and Tom were very helpful and encouraging during the hikes.

Scots Irish Tour - 15 Days/14 Nights
Loved seeing the two countries but could use more free time as the best locations we did not. The drivers, guides and tour information were great. Saw quite a bit of Scotland and Ireland and the hotels were mostly nice. The food choices not the best and a bit redundant.

Iceland 10 day trip with CIE
Iceland has been on my bucket list for 9 years. I’m glad I traveled there with CIE tours. This was my third trip with CIE. This company never disappoints. The guide and bus driver were professional and personable, and we felt we were in good hands. The people on our trip blended well together and felt like a cohesive group. The sites of Iceland are especially beautiful. We saw so many waterfalls, fjords, lava, volcanoes, tectonic plate, and natural beauty everywhere. Some sites took my breath away. The Icelandic horses are very special. Food was good. One negative ( not the fault of CIE)- the puffins decided to migrate the day before we arrived to see them at a cliff. But, that’s nature!

Ireland South Daytripper - 7 Days/6 Nights
Family trip
This was a family vacation to explore our Irish heritage. The tour was a great way to see the country without having to plan it ourselves. Our driver, Sean, was amazing! He was very knowledgeable and gave us great insight on the sights we were visiting as well as the history of Ireland. He was extremely helpful in every way possible. Always checking to make sure we were comfortable and satisfied with our experience. The hotel in Adair was wonderful. The food was delicious and the staff was great. Our room was a good size that allowed my daughter and myself enough space to share comfortably. The overall pace of the tour was good; however, I would definitely add more time at Blarney Castle. It wasn't possible to eat lunch in town before standing in line to kiss the stone and explore the grounds. We opted to grab a quick bite at the cafe on the grounds and still felt rushed to make it back to the bus on time. If the line for the top of the castle was longer, (as indicated by the signs it can be) we wouldn't have had enough time to see the grounds at all.
I would skip the train ride to Cobh and include the Titanic museum. I don't think the train added any value to the overall experience. Although our guide did give us great information on the area, it still felt like a modern train ride to a location. I don't feel like it enhanced the experience. My daughter and I did not enjoy Dublin. Although the private lunch and entertainment on the way there was great, and the hotel was lovely, by the time we checked in and got settled, there was little time left to explore the city, have dinner and be back in time to get some sleep before an early flight departure. The hop on hop off bus was a little confusing for us, so we were unable to use it. We would have loved to visit the cemetery or Dublin Castle; however, we were unable to do so due lack of transportation and time constraints. I feel Dublin itself was a wasted day that could have been better spent elsewhere. Perhaps a leisurely day exploring a village and really getting a feel for the Irish lifestyle and countryside. All that being said, it was a great experience.

Had an AWESOME stress free Trip
The trip was absolutely great. Bus was very clean and all the Trips were great, it was so nice to just be able to watch and not have to worry about the driving. It was so stress free, I was picked up at airport after the plane was delayed 3 hours, room's were absolutely great, food was also very good, our tour guide Philip was absolutely awesome I learned so much about Ireland's history, and was so glad I didn't have to do the driving on the roads.
