4.6/5

Simply wonderful!! Ranked right up there with our Ireland trip 6 years ago

Yes, would definitely recommend CIE Tours to friends and family. Absolutely loved our tour director, Regine Schweiss and bus driver, David.
Loved Scotland and all the sites and hotels where we stayed. However, we were disappointed when the train ride (Harry Potter steam) was substituted, especially since I booked this trip in March and trip was scheduled for July. These tickets should have been reserved. Also I would suggest more time in St. Andrews and possibly eliminating the cruise on the Firth on Forth. There is so much to see in St Andrews and we felt rushed.

Great Tour

We had a great time on our CIE tour. It was a large group with 40 passengers but our guide Mert did a great job of keeping everyone on schedule. He also paid extra attention to someone with us that had some mobility issues. Overall the hotels were beautiful. The pace of the trip is necessarily fast but you see a lot and the right amount of time seems to be allocated to each stop. Mert was funny and knowledgeable. I would definitely recommend CIE.

wonderful trip for all six of us. Loved the people.

CIE helped us learn all about Ireland. We would look to them for possible other trips. Will tell people about our wonderful experince with tour guide Marian Kelley and driver John.

Let CIE take the worry and stress out of planning an international trip!

CIE Tours is very organized. They were waiting for my wife and me at the airport when we first came in to Dublin and took us to the hotel. Everything CIE promised, they delivered. We had an excellent guide and driver - Seamus and Nigel. Going on a tour enabled us to do a lot more than if we were going on our own. They kept us busy every day with fun travels. We especially liked the Irish/Scottish Sampler because we got to tour two countries in 8 days. This amount of time was just right for us because we did not want to leave our house or our jobs too long. At the end of our trip, they took us back to the airport. We also made a lot of new friends on our tour. If you don't want the stress and worry of planning an international trip, let CIE do it for you!

Working directly with CIE Tours booking was an easy and a pleasant process. A.shout out to Róisín Sisk for all her help in making the process go seemlessly.

Great experience

Good service. Everything was well organised. Ana is a very good tour director, patient and pleasant

Our tour director and bus driver were fantastic. My major disappointment was the location of the hotels, particularly the hotels in Tavistock, Chester, York and Edinburgh. These hotels were allocated outside of the cities which limited access to points of interest during free time at the hotel.

It was very well organized and the guide and coach driver were excellent.
I've never been on an organized bus tour and I enjoyed it very much.

Great set up of daily sites to see!!

Daily schedules of sites, meals, transportation and entertainment

Highly recommend. Fantastic guides and drivers. Booking was easy and exceptional.

The itinerary was fabulous and the guide was very knowledgeable and patient! John was great. The driver, Paul was exceptional. John is young but he will be a terrific guide before long.

The booking service was good, but we weren't picked up in the airport as our flight was cancelled because of the weather and we had to pay for a taxi to the hotel. This was already paid for in the transfer fee, and I will speak to a representative about refunding me the 40 euros that I spent on the taxi.

Wonderful tour guide who brought Scotland to life.

Very well organized and the tour guide and bus driver did excellent jobs.

The booking of our trip to Ireland was easy and everything went as planned. The trip packets arrived with further details and were extremely helpful.

Customer service provided very good response to all my inquiries and provided them in a timely manner.

Excellent experience! Saw incredible sites and the guide was knowledgeable

I would for sure recommend CIE tours to others in future! I did not have to worry about a single thing my entire trip and was able to just enjoy the sites! It also didn't hurt that my guide Diana and driver Sam were excellent!

The tour itself was wonderful.Our tour guide Linda McKay was fabulous,as well as our driver John.
My only issue is that after many calls to the CIE office in NJ,is that they still have the wrong name attached to my email.
