Mystical Ireland - 8 Days/7 Nights
I thought the tour was well organized. Thankfully the participants kept to the time schedule. It was very informative. I loved the amount I experienced and I know where I would like to go to spend more time exploring.

Irish Gold - 8 Days/7 Nights
My hiusgand and I have been wanting to tour Ireland for awhile now and decided to take the CIE tour. Glad we did, as the tour didn’t disappoint. We got to see a lot of the country and our tour guide Al and bus driver TJ were great-providing a lot of information as we toured the various sites. Loved that we were able to see many different sites and info shared with each. There were some places would have liked more time (Athlone) and others less time (Blarney Stone) but overall would recommend the tour. I would recommend adding an extra day at the end which unfortunately we didn’t do.

Tours, Hotels, Itinerary were excellent.
Back pack, electrical adapter and luggage tags were a great idea that were provided by CIE. Great job to all.
Very organized itinerary.. Great Tour guide with John and an amazing bus driver with Donald. Very nice Hotel stays with accomodations. Food and drinks were very good. Tours and bar accomodations were surprisingly very good. Would definitely recommend this tour to anyone..

Scottish Isles & Glens - 13 Days/12 Nights
Amazing trip of a lifetime for me.
This trip truly brought my family history to life for me. It was breathtaking to see and touch Neolithic stones and sites. Tour and sights were amazing especially with an excellent tour guide who explained the historical significance of each.

We had a small group on our tour, which made the experience much more enjoyable. We had a fantastic time and our guide, Kieran Walsh, was a wealth of information. We covered a lot of ground in a relatively short amount of time. I hope we can go back some day and spend more time exploring. The military tattoo in Edinburgh was a highlight.

Irish Spirit- 8 Days/7 Nights
Competent, pleasant tour guide (Karl White). Always on schedule. Good planning. Karl helped me find an extra sight I wished to see ( a stone circle). Comfortable coach and hotels. Nice mix of free time and busy time. I guess we saw as much in 7 days as was possible. Didn't spend hours and hours on coach. Nice variety of sights.

Review of Irish Spirit Tour
I loved the tour, meeting new people and seeing Ireland. Our tour guide and driver was Karl, and he kept us all organized and on track for the best experience. The tour was well organized and provided the opportunity to see so many beautiful places and experiences .

Everything was well organized and executed. Great experience for our first trip. Loved the sheep herding, cliffs of Mohr, Giant Causeway.
Tony the driver was excellent! Great experience! Considering another trip with you to a different destination!

Best of Britain - 10 Days/9 Nights
Great trip and guide!
This was a great tour to get to see so much of England. Our guide, Lisa Richardson, absolutely made the trip. Was able to see more than if we tried to do it all on our own.

Scottish Isles & Glens - 12 Days/11 Nights
Scottish Isles and Glens - not to be missed!
We chose this trip because of the varied and extensive itinerary it provided. Some cities, but mostly beautiful countryside and sea views, coupled with rich history along the way. Two nights on Orkney and the Edinburgh Military Tattoo were the highlights of the tour for me, and the day on Skye was breathtaking.
Worth mentioning was the fact that CIE doesn’t offer “excursions” and includes them in their upfront price, which is not the case as other companies.
This was our first trip with CIE, and we were very pleased. Our tour guide was very knowledgeable and organized, and the driver was top-notch as well, having to negotiate city traffic as well as single lane Highland roads.
We would definitely recommend CIE to our friends (that’s how we discovered them) and would consider another tour with them outside of the UK (at this point we feel that we’ve sufficiently covered the UK and Ireland.)

Lovely weather an added bonus!
You delivered the program exactly as described. Well done!
Lovely group, great weather and interesting stops. I feel like we really got the feel of the Republic of Ireland.
My only disappointment was the Welcome Reception - which was a bit awkward without a host. Everyone arrived, but no one made introductions or welcomed us to the tour.

Another incredible CIE experience.
The incredible time, food, hotels, route and schedule.
The planning, route, hotel choices, and best of all Jackie our guide and Brent our driver in Scotland.
Same comments for Ireland, with Alister and TJ.

A bucket list experience.
George is the best coach driver on the planet. A bucket list experience. Great itinerary, great guides, varied and interesting accommodations. The military tatto was thrilling. Enjoyed the Irish dancing and music show. Glad someone else was driving; I wouldn't attempt driving on my own. The Titanic museum exceeded my expectations.

Taste of Ireland (Tour A) - 7 Days/6 Nights
Great way to visit the Emerald Isle.
Overall, the trip was very good, though a little faster paced than was comfortable for people in their late70s and, middle 80s. Our driver and guide, Michael, was outstanding. His knowledge and personality made the trips on the bus between locations, interesting as well as, entertaining. The pace, due to the short length of the tour, was a bit fast, but doable.
