Perfection!!!
EVERYTHING about this tour was amazing. We started on St. Patrick's Day in Dublin. This was also our 50th wedding anniversary. The staff at the Royal Marine Hotel treated us like we were all royalty. The food was delicious and they made sure we had everything we needed. The accommodations were clean, comfortable and well taken care of. As for our tour guide and bus driver, we had to have had the best of the best. We were always taken to "local" places, not "touristry" locations which gave us a true feel of the country, people and hospitality that Ireland has to offer. The history and knowledge of our tour guide (Marian) was amazing. No doubt she loves her country and gives all the history of this beautiful country and what it's been through to be where it is today (good and bad). Our bus driver was more than capable to maneuver the tour bus through not only the highways and byways, but also the smallest of towns and roads for our out of the way visits and experiences. This vacation was a tour of a lifetime for my husband and myself and we feel blessed to have had the opportunity to have been a part of a wonderful group of people from all over the USA , the most knowledgeable and thoughtful tour guide and a courteous, safe and sufficient gentleman driving us from one destination to another. Thank you, thank you, thank you. CIE has done an excellent job in not only securing the best people to work with, but the best accomodations and a true feeling of this beautiful country.

Struck gold with my “Irish Gold” tour!!!
The hotels were very lovely. Our tour director Marion Kelley was wonderful and brought to life the Irish experience. Dan Fritzgerald was the best driver and so helpful. The choices to stop like pubs and shopping were well thought out and another excellent experience. Touring thru the beautiful Irish countryside was breathtaking. The flow of the tour was well thought out and was not hurried.
I and my sister will return
Thank you
