Scottish & Irish Gold - 15 Days/14 Nights
I really enjoyed listening to local traditional music and dancing

I particularly like visiting the castles and museums in both Scotland & Ireland. Also, liked visiting the distillery in Scotland with sample and visiting Sean’s Bar in Ireland to experience local atmosphere.

2023 Scottish Dream - 8 Days/7 Nights

Great tour guide and driver, but some days too many stops. Would have loved to not be rushed.
Would definitely recommend

I would definitely go on another tour with CIE, and also recommend them to others. The Scots/Irish tour is well planned with educational and interesting sites that included wonderful accommodations and food. All of this is highlighted even more by the Scotland tour guide, Becky and our tour director, Darragh - their professionalism, thoughtfulness, and humor brought the whole tour together to make this the best vacation ever!

Scotland tour, Guide and Bus driver Excellent. Ireland beautiful.

The tour of Scottland was wonderful. Our tour guide Graham Bruce was great!! so knowledgeable, personable, and amazing. Joe the bus driver was the same but a very safe driver they worked well together. Time to visit attractions was excellent. I am rating the Scotland portion 5 stars. I was so impressed with Scotland from Graham Bruces knowledge.

Ireland tour was good. Tour guide Marlene was ok. Walking tours we took of Galway and Water for were great. THE GUIDES made them intresting.

Too much coach time; Visting time for attractions were inconsistent. Example Kylemore Abbey. 2 hours to eat visit abbey, chapel, and Gardens, HArbor cruise could have been shortened or skipped. Did not see much of gardens. Needed more time. KilKenny 3 hours, Visit Caste, lunch and town. this could have been less. Seans Bar, Marine Bar, and kate kearney's cottage were enjoyable..

Very disappointed with Ring of Kerry. I am not sure we saw the most intresting sections.

I was disappointed in Ireland Tour GUide spent a lot time speaking about Taxes, retirement options, schools. etc. We would be driving by object before it was pointed out.

Fabulous Trip!

Our tour, The Scots Irish Dream was a fabulous vacation. The hotels were clean, the check in process was seamless and quick. The Scotland tour guide, Graham Bruce, was the best tour guide we have ever experienced and we are well traveled. The included dinners were all very good. The pace was a bit hectic but we saw everything in both countries. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend CIE to our friends and family.

Driver/tour leader, Brian, was very knowledgeable and presented great information on the history of Ireland. This made the tour very interesting as well as entertaining. The number of stops and visits to sites was very good too. Hotel accommodations were good - clean, staff attentive, food good - although dinners seemed to be rushed.

Ireland 2023

This was a wonderful trip. Niall was terrific and very knowledgable about Ireland. I gave 4 stars because the first 1 and 1/2 days I was on my own in Dublin. The hotel was in sort of a remote area and the reception employees were less than helpful as far as getting me to a hop on hop off stop. The Guiness Storehouse voucher provided did not work and I took a taxi there and entered with my personally purchase ticket. Again, this is not a reflection of Niall. He was awesome and the trip itself was great. Thank you for a good time.

Irish Classic - 13 Days/12 Nights

Our guide, Liam Larkin, did a fabulous job of entertaining us and providing us with information about what we saw in Ireland. Our driver, Joe (last name unknown), transported us safely and efficiently over some very difficult roads.

Taste of Ireland (Tour A) - 7 Days/6 Nights

The Taste of Ireland Tour we were told is called a tease of Ireland because you just don't get to spend enough time in each location which is true. I disliked the self guided tour at the beginning as it was already chaotic enough getting in and situated. The first part of the actual tour, they give you a ride around town which we were already given with the Hop on Hop Off pass. They also give you an option to attend a museum, Guiness store or Distillery, but like I said, there just wasn't enough time and we were unable to use our passes. There is no refund option of you don't get to use your passes. This was the only negative aspect of our trip. The rest was amazing! Our tour guide and driver Eamon was familiar with the land and had a plethora of facts and information that helped use learn more about the country. He made us feel safe when trying to manuever the huge coach bus through the cities and small roads. I feel like he went out of his way to make sure everyone was taken care of and he had a great sense of humor. The hotel choices were up to standard and we were not disappointed with any of the food options available with the meals that were included. Their communication was prompt and they kept in touch regarding updates in between the time I booked and the trip itself. The price was reasonable for all that was included.Overall I would recommend CIE for tours of Ireland and would use them again in the future.

London Daytripper: England really does swing!

We had a great trip to England. We were a group of seven women and CIE dealt with all of our worries and questions prior to the trip. We really appreciated the service both prior to and during the tour.
