4.6/5

A Magical Experience!

The itinerary for our trip was excellent, and so were the hotels (two castle stays!) but the absolute best part of the trip was the Tour Director. Joe not only organized and took care of all of us the entire trip, but he shared with us his personal insights and experiences that enhanced the history of Ireland and made it very real for us. I feel this was what made our group become so close, and some of us still keep in touch and plan on taking another trip next year!

The staff was always responsive and helpful by telephone and website in answering questions and concerns. We will definitely book again with CIE

People were super nice and the correspondence came in a timely fashion.

Yes I would recommend CIE.

First class tour company!

My wife and I took the Irish Explorer tour. It was absolutely great. Hotels were first class; meals were great and the bus was very comfortable.

Booking service was very helpful and made trip easy to connect with

Tour guide, Gerry, was fantastic, so knowlegable and thoughtful. Tour was well organized, but there were a few things that would improve the tour.

Great experience; fun and knowledgeable guide.

They were quick to respond and assist us in making additional hotel arrangements.

I learned a lot about the history & culture of Scotland from a great guide.

The arrival experience was disappointing. I had to find and pay for my transfer to the first hotel. The rest of the tour was well done.

Some of the hotels were out of the city and hard to experience city/night life.

Meals at the hotels were repetitious.

Awesome experience!

Booking was a snap and the agent was very friendly and helpful. The tour was great!

Warm welcome

From the moment we were picked up at the airport we were made to feel welcomed and comfortable. Our guide, John C, was wonderful...full of information, local lure as well as advice. We got to know the folks we traveled with and had a ton of fun on our 12 day tour. There were a lot of laughs along the way.

A Taste of Scotland

The booking had no problems.

Cie delivered on evrything they promised

The first call I made to CIE did not go well but I called backed and got a young lady who was extremely helpful. She was a good communicator and followed up with timely emails. I did not get my first choice of tours and I tried different sites but went with CIE because of her help.

Awesome trip!

Ian was an exceptional guide. He knows the history very well and explained everything in great detail. He made the history come alive! Sam was an awesome driver too. He was very helpful. My only wish is that we could have stayed longer in each location.

We enjoyed our tour very much.All the hotels chosen were very good,except notable in Killarney.We were dunned at the checkout for a 7up.It was embarrassing,because we had no idea,we had been charged for it.Notes should be added to the tours that coffee and water are the only free drinks.Our driver Jim was funny,informative and lovely.He made the travel fun and we all felt at ease.I do feel were didnt have enough time at Blarney Castle.We had to chose between touring the grounds and gardens or stand in line an hour to kiss the Blarney Stone.We loved Ireland and we cannot wait to visit again!

My tour guide, Liam, was great! Very knowledgeable, friendly and professional.
