Overall Great Experience!

I worked with a tour guide who handled all the booking and details. Part of my expectation was that someone else would develop the iteniary, make arrangements, and organize lodging plus logistics. In this, I was quite pleased with the CIE experience.

Well Paced Tour of Ireland.

Our CIE Tour of Ireland was well paced. We felt like we saw a lot but also had time to explore ourselves. Our tour guide/driver, Nial, was excellent-lots of information, funny and entertaining. We loved the Aran Islands.

Well worth the price. A great experience was had by all in our group!

Our trip was amazing! Everything ran according to how it was described in the brochure itinerary. Hotels were great as was the food. Excursions were wonderful. But most of all our guide Brendan and driver Adrian were phenomenal!!! We didn’t want to leave when our tour was over. Every little detail including getting our luggage to our rooms each day was handled by CIE. Nothing was left out. The entire tour from start to finish was literally how they described it would be. I would absolutely recommend using CIE for your Irish adventure. We’re already planning to book another tour with them soon.

The guides were some of the most knowledgeable that we have ever experience

David and Marian were the best guides we have experienced, the accommodations were excellent, and the itinerary was exactly what we hoped. The guides had just the right amount of running commentary on a multitude of subjects. I repeatedly fact checked their comments and, unlike other tours we have been on, they were extremely accurate! The bus in Scotland was in first class shape. Our only issue was that the bus in Ireland had trouble with the internet.

Easy to book directly. Responsive to customer questions. Quality tour itinerary. Good value for a tour vacation. All airport transfers were professionally handled.

Wonderful Memories of Ireland

Lawrence is a great tour director. He was informative, witty, helpful, friendly, and humble. The tour was wonderful, and we sampled so much of Ireland. Only improvement could be in the airport transfers, neither of which we could take advantage of because of time conflicts.

AMAZING

Iceland was amazing and Thor the tour guide was phenomenal!! He knew when to tell us different things and when to let us enjoy the scenery...Everywhere was more perfect than the next!!

Enjoyed immensely the whole trip.

Driver very personable and knowledgable. Driving was excellent. Explanations of what to expect were clear and time given to ask questions. Stops were all enjoyable. Pre trip documentation, suitcase tags and straps, electric adapters, maps, backpack, rain gear were all so important to have been given to us.

Great overall experience. Every tour guide and driver we had gave their all

Booked through our travel agent.

Great tour guide, outstanding driver with interesting stops

Very easy to book and make changes as Covid persisted.

A perfect trip

Our guide was wonderful, he explained the history, added humor. He did a fantastic job. Wonderful man, we all loved him. He knew what he was doing.

Responsive and friendly service.

It was a great trip....saw much of Ireland, and lots of unique experiences!

Yes...I would highly recommend this tour service. Very affable tour guide, with a perfect mixture of free time and touring. Loved the shows we went to (Merry Ploughboys was very fun!), and enjoyed the commentary of our driver. Wonderful acommodations, great food. 5 Stars!

Spirit of Ireland tour was absolutely amazing!

Experience from start to finish was great! Booking experience, actual hotel accommodations and locations, variety of things to see, etc.

Online booking was simple and efficient, communication was clear, and tour documents were delivered in plenty of time before the trip.

Our tour director, David, and our coach driver, Andy were phenomenal. They made this trip so informative and fun.

The tour went very well. Our driver Joe was excellent, he went above and beyond every day.

Good Trip

Amore travel took care of all the booking. Cathy, and Melissa, made sure we got great deals . They also kept us aware of changes

Jacqui did the most. :
our family vacation was fantastic. Cathy , with amore travel, took care of most all details ensuring I had a mostly accessible trip. The itinerary was steady filled with food n entertainment.
My family was so excited. We had so much fun. Liz the most knowledgeable Scotland guide was amazing. Our Dublin guide was a no-show. Jacqui, our driver of the year, went well beyond measures and made sure we didn't miss anything while in Ireland. CIE left this young lady hanging with 27 souls. Jacqui did it all. This trip would have half failed without her. Let me name a few Jacqui elite skills at work: lost passport found, money recovered, late arrivals joined, dinner/tour/show/extra outings arranged , my walker and luggage was taken care of, Jacqui made things happen, dinner at the brazen head n into Temple Bar, massage n nails. Jacqui was the force on the ground with local knowledge and contacts making our Ireland leg of the trip simply the best . Yes, we r planning another over 20K vacation adventure. We're taking into consideration how CIE treated Jacqui if we'd use them again. We're concerned if they treat their essential staff poorly , we may not be that important to them after payment.

Our tour guide David and driver Andy were the absolute best! We couldn’t have asked for a better pair to show us Scotland. If there was a way to request them for our future trips, that is who we would want. What a great way to see Scotland for the first time. This was our first trip with CIE and won’t be the last.
