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!

Perfect Tour of Ireland and Scotland!

The booking staff was very professional and thorough in answering any questions we had.

Best Trip!

One of the best trips ever! Such beautiful countries and genuinely nice people. Our tour director Marty was amazing, funny, and so knowledgeable. Plan to return and explore different areas.

Essence of Britain & Ireland

Our first experience with CIE was a good one. We enjoyed our tour guide, he was professional & personable; the coach driver was safe & excellent at his job. Our fellow travels kept things fun. The only downside for us was lots of sitting: a long flight, many miles driven while riding in the coach, two separate ferry rides, long flight home. We needed more physical activity, walking, & staying in each place longer we would have preferred. Thank you.

Pleasant to work with and co-operative when needing additional information.

Efficient and enjoyable

Well organized, good tour director, local guides and bus driver and most of the activities were included without buying optional tours.

This was my first venture with a corporate tour, and I had some apprehension about spending 9 days with strangers.
From the beginning, CIE was extremely helpful--booking, payment, scheduling us for arriving a day early.
The pre-trip gifts are high quality and most useful. The hotels are exceptional; the food was almost always excellent; and the schedule provided a wonderful overview of the country and its treasures.
When we arrived at Dublin Airport, a CIE employee spotted a luggage strap and came over to answer questions and help us get the taxi to the hotel. Although we weren't part of the tour group he was greeting, he went out of his way to help us. It was a hint of what was to come.

Wonderful

Excellent.
