Icelandic Explorer - 10 days/9 nights-Good Itinerary, But Would NOT use them again in Iceland
The itinerary was why I selected CIE, a tour company I had never used before. Unfortunately, the tour director, Peter, was subpar. He not only denigrated one of the tour stops (before we visited it -- the Viking film set), he skipped a tour stop without explanation -- the whaling city of Hofn (when I asked him privately, he said it wasn't worth it), he complained about CIE's timing between stops (saying it was unrealistic), his communication with the tour group was poor (he didn't post the baggage out and leave times until very late at night or not at all; after the first day, we only used the audio boxes twice, but he never told us the day before to make sure we had them; he didn't give out key information about Blue Lagoon -- like don't wear your jewelry! -- until we were there) and he didn't thank a traveler who took it upon herself to find six lost fellow travelers (Peter said he would have left them without looking for them). Besides being unprofessional, he just didn't seem to like people much. I have used many tour companies over many years (Trafalgar, Insight, Globus, AMA Waterways, Avalon, etc.). CIE is a much smaller outfit based out of Ireland. I might give them a shot on their home turf (if the itinerary was good), but I would not use them again outside of their home country. I am not convinced they have the organization in place to manage key items like hiring and training quality tour guides in far flung locations.

Ireland South Daytripper - 8 Days/7 Nights
CIE tours made a dream come true! Our visit to Ireland was nothing short of a glorious adventure! Every promise was fulfilled, and every need was met! From accommodations, to tour guides, to the chosen locations, Everything was efficiently and carefully planned, and beautifully executed. We plan to use CIE tours again someday!

Irish Gold - 9 Days/8 Nights-A wonderful trip!
It was a wonderful but jam packed vacation. We saw everything there was to see in the Republic of Ireland. Our guide and driver were wonderful. They told stories, recommended restaurants and shopping spots and explained the history of Ireland very well. All in all, a wonderful trip.

Ireland South Daytripper - 8 Days/7 Nights-Top notch service
The South Ireland Day tripper land tour was well organized from the time we arrived at the Shannon airport until the time we were dropped off at the Dublin hotel.. Our professional driver/guide made the trip experience exceptional along with the hotel and restaurant’s friendly staff. This was our first time booking with CIE Tours and would recommend them and choose them for future tours.

Icelandic Explorer - 10 days/9 nights-Iceland Amazing Landscape
Iceland is amazing. The tour was okay, there are some things that I would change. The tour guide was good but. We have been on several CIE tours in the UK and the independent contractors are just not the same

London Daytripper- 6 Days/5 Nights
It was such an enjoyable experience. It was always quick and easy to into attractions. I stayed for a couple of days after the tour ended, and I had a horrible time trying to get into things that I missed seeing on the tour.
