Our First Trip with CIE Tours Won't Be Our Last!

We thoroughly enjoyed the tour and the easy process to book the tour we wanted.
Our Pub & Culture Tour itinerary was well paced to include interesting activities, like a microbrewery tour and tasting, and down time, like free time at Blarney Castle. The "off the beaten path" locations we visited like The South Pole Inn were some of our favorite stops. Our driver/tour leader Matt was a very informative, funny, and an outstanding driver. He provided excellent information and kept our group moving along, on time.
I cannot say enough about how wonderful our Ireland tour with CIE Tours International was. We met amazing people, had fun experiences, and made memories that will last a lifetime.

The content of the tour was interesting. The food was abysmal. Why must all tours provide meals lacking flavor or national origin? At least give people one interesting choice and save the cafeteria food for the masses

CIE Tours is an Excellent way to vacation

CIE tours was easy to book. The driver/tour guides provided were amazing and knowledgable and so easy to talk to. They respected everyone on the tour and I would recommend CIE Tours to everyone as long as they are providing drivers and tour guides as excellent as the ones we had.

See the UK Capitals and much more along the way.

We found CIE to be an Superb choice for our Tour through England and Scotland. This Tour started in Windsor, went all the way up to Edinburgh and then down to Cardiff before ending in London. It was a Superb Itinerary. We also liked the fact that one can join a 'small group' tour --- no more than 25 people. Our Tour had 14 individuals. It was a Wonderful Tour.

Booking service was very easy and the personnel were very helpful.

Beautiful Scotland and Ireland

CIE was easy to deal with in planning our trip. Róisín Sisk was our CIE representative and made our planning very easy. Our Scottish tour guide, Ian, made Scotland come alive, it was wonderful being guided by a historian. He is a true delight. Declan, our Scotland bus driver, made our bus trip comfortable and enjoyable. He drove us to Ireland and made sure everyone made it safely to Ireland. Our tour guide in Ireland, Brian, was also good. I wish we visited more historical sites and less breweries. Our Irish bus driver, Collin, made sure we reached our destinations safely.

The journey was perfect. A lifetime of memories.

Our tour guide Eamon was very knowledgeable and funny and kind. He even gave us his grandmothers scone recipe. We got to see so much in just one week. The coach is always clean and comfortable and you never sit in the same seat every day so you get a chance to see the outside and the different view. The hotels were amazing. The food was great and meeting new people on my tour was an incredible experience.

The tour guide Fran was the best! She was so full of knowledge and so pleasant.

I highly recommend CIE

Very quick and efficient. The agent explained everything thoroughly.

Mostly smooth process

Mostly smooth ordering and payment experience. The price was fair, descriptions were clear, communication was prompt both by email and phone.

Fantastic Tour - Scottish Dream

The itinerary for Scottish Dream was a perfect blend of city, country and culture. Our tour guide Ross T. was very knowledgable, entertaining and a very good host to our group of travelers. He was a perfect blend of educator and leader with his thorough organization and follow up. I have to say Ross was the best tour guide I've every encountered on any tour I've taken.

I loved all the history that was given to us by our tour guides, they were very knowledgeable. The hotels were impressive and the food was good. The itinerary was perfect and wouldnt change a thing. Even the sheep herding I enjoyed which I didnt think I would be interested in. Boy was I wrong! I felt I got a good taste of Scotland/Ireland and I wouldn't change a thing.

CIE Tours - Another trip, another wonderful experience!

Everything went through flawlessly. No mix-ups or problems whatsoever. I am a return customer and was not disappointed! I hope to use CIE Tours on a trip to England in the next several years.

it was a wonderful trip. everything was exactly as was laid out in the itenerary.

It was a little tricky to find the exact place on the website to log in to look for or make a payment on our trip.

Great history of Scotland by the tour guide! Did not spend a whole lot of time at some places, such as Glencoe and Isle of Skye but there was so much to see I understand the tight schedule. Overall, I’d definitely use CIE again!

Wonderful Scotland!

Our tour guide, Linda, and our driver, Davie, were each good natured and seemed knowledgable about each site. They played music along the way relevant to the territory we were passing through, and shared stories about some of the historic figures. Everything seemed so green and clean!!!
I wished for longer to linger in the Orkneys, and the Culloden battlefield--the exhibit was so interesting it took most of my time! The Mount Stuart House and garden were grand, but the shopping in Rothesay was non existent -- it was SUNDAY! Still, the trip was wonderful, fellow travelers interesting and personable -- a very pleasant experience for my grandson and me!! I'd do it all over again! Thanks again! Mary Grace Hobby

The booking was easy and it was a great trip but the airline booking was hard will ask for direct flights next time

A Great First Visit to Ireland

Superb accomodations, except for one, great food for the most part and a wonderful bus driver/tour guide.

Fantastic!
