4.6/5

From the booking to the last taxi ride to the airport the service was great. Pat, our driver/guide was outstanding.

Overall rating really good except for the Galway hotel experience!

CIE Hotel was poor!! Put us in an area that was way too far from the elevators and required changing elevators multiple times due to this unpopular location!! Hotel was in Galway!! If you continue to use this hotel, due to distance and inconvenience, suggest area be used for younger individuals !!

Beautiful well planned tour. Our Driver "Gerry" was a Master Bus Driver!

Our trip with CIE Tours was beyond expectations. We were met at the airport by a very friendly man holding a CIE placard (easy to identify an unexpected). He got us a cab, (CIE paid) and off we went for our wonderful "Irish Legends Tour" Being taken care of upon after arrival is so important. After a long flight and change of time, we were exhausted. CIE started us off on the right foot. Our Driver was so knowledgeable and shared history and stories along the way. Gerry was the safest and best driver I have ever been with. The way he drove that bus along narrow roads and hairpin turns was unbelievable perfection. Hotels were all lovely and each of their staff, friendly and helpful. The only criticism would be that we didn't could have had a bit more free time. Favorites of the tour: The Immigration Museum, Each of the walking tours, excellent guides. The drives through the beautiful Irish countryside. All said, I would book another tour with CIE in a heartbeat. Can we have Gerry drive that bus also?

Highly recommend!

It was an amazing experience overall. Had a blast!

The perfect Irish Vacation!

This tour was awesome! From the time we were picked up at the airport until the time we returned, everything was done for us. The hotels were all great with comfortable beds and all amenities available. The bus was clean and comfortable and our guides were just great. Lloyd was very knowledgeable and Colin was an excellent driver. Both were kind and fun and we had a great time listening to their stories, jokes, poems and songs. Food was good and overall the price was fair for what we received.

Great trip to Scotland!

This was my third trip with CIE. Once again, the service and planning were excellent. Although we were unable to visit the Isle of Skye as planned, the remainder of the trip was educational and fun. Both our tour guide and driver were informative and entertaining. I hope to plan another trip with CIE soon!

5 Star Ireland with CIE

I would recommend CIE to anyone who wants to go to Ireland. It was a fabulous trip from bus to hotels to admin office to restaurants to excursions--the whole trip!
Noel was a great driver and guide. He's personable, funny, informative, smart, helpful, and, maybe most importantly, a superb driver. He can handle that huge bus in any kind of traffic, on any kind of road, in any kind of situation. It was all too short. The time shot by and was over before we knew it.

The food was wonderful at all the venues. The entertainment was good. The hotels were very good, especially The Lodge at Ashford Castle.

Maybe just a little more independent time would have been nice, but we saw all we came to see. It left us wanting more. We hope to book another tour in the future.

Booking the trip over the phone was fast and easy. We had a fantastic tour director during our trip. Wonderful experience - we'd love to travel with CIE Tours again someday.

Overall a fabulous experience!

What a wonderful time we had visiting the Emerald Isle. Top Notch hotels, the food was absolutely delicious, no extras to pay for everything was included, that itinerary included everything we wanted to see and they were all so unexpected stops for photo opportunities and enough free time to make us happy along the way. Overall a wonderful experience and I will definitely you cie tours again in the future. Highly recommend. Our tour director Tony, went above and beyond everyday and exceeded our expectations. I have no negative comments whatsoever about the trip... only that it had to end.

Dennis was amazing!

I would use them again! The tour guide Dennis Was amazing. He made sure everyone had fun and definitely kept us laughing. If I book again to go back to Ireland I would definitely ask for him to be my guide. There was a couple that had the same last name as a bar there and they asked Dennis to stop and he did. Means a lot to people to know you are spending a week with a stranger that eventually becomes your friend and shows he cares! Great job Dennis!

Excellent tour! Difficult traveling with food allergies.

The tour was easy to book online!

CIE Tours know how to put together a great tour.

Susan Kelly was extremely helpful. She worked with me to get 9 people from different cities booked both tour and airline. She was a breeze to work with. Highly recommend her.

Purchasing the trip was easy. They answered all my questions and sent necessary travel docs in a timely manner.

I have been on several CIE tours love love love them !!!

Good itinerary and value for the money.

Oliver was my service rep, he was very polite and got me signed up with very little hassle. I received my backpack and info in a timely manner. When I called for info on the trip, he had the answers.

Great Overview of Countries

Booked online. Quick response.

TRIP OF LIFETIME

I am a single dad of 2 kids, who has never been out of the states... I booked this tour as I needed a vacation and to say the least I was nervous and scared to travel alone not knowing anyone on tour. But in the long run, it was the best decision I ever made! The tour director/ coach driver was AMAZING and went out of his way on everything &anything! I went a lot of new friends and I returned home to my children who said they haven't seen dad smiling like I now do for years! So honestly if your thinking about traveling....dont be scared and take that trip...especially with CIE tours.... I had the time of my life, even tho while I was gone my home town/house was devastated with the worst flood on record! But because of my trip & adventure I came back not stressed or depressed, but instead came home with a positive attitude....I will travel CIE tours again, was thinking next year Italy, but I have to rebuild my homestead...so my next trip will be postponed a yr or two, but when I travel over seas again, it definitely will be with CIE TOURS!

Great tour even though the wet and windy weather

Tour guide was super cool and knowledgable

Great tour! Our travel agent did a wonderful job of setting up everything.

Excellent tour, well planned. Enjoyed it all. Our driver Pat was GREAT!!
