4.6/5

Get a feel for three different locales!

CIE Scots Irish tour covers a lot of ground. If you want to see the terrain in Scotland (including the Highlands), Northern Ireland, and the Republic of Ireland, in one fell swoop, this is a great tour.

I would recommend CIE. My friend actually did the booking for us.

knowledgeable and friendly

The trip was fantastic, enjoyed the locations we visited and our tour guide John Cunningham was great. I would recommend CIE and am considering taking another CIE tour in the future.

A first class touring company. Everything was great but I found the schedule somewhat grueling with so many early morning starts and very little downtime.

The tour/coach drivers were very knowledgeable and very personable. Everything was well planned and taken care of. The only negative was our interaction with the flight department. We had to have our flight fixed twice and the final fix ended up not being set for the time we told them we wanted to leave at.

Wonderful experience

Overall wonderful experience. Hotels all very good, guide and travel great!

Highly Recommend!!

We could not have more pleased with every aspect of our tour of Ireland. Everything excellent - tour director, coach driver, itinerary, special CIE only stops, hotels, coach, on and on… Highly recommend!!

Eileen helped me book the trip and she was excellent, thank you Eileen

The tour was excellent. No extra fees

Irish Odyssey

Saw several cities, great attractions, excellent guide
Particularly enjoyed the Epic Museum, the titanic Museum and the mounds at Newgrange

Everything was taken care for us I would definitely book with them again!

Best trip ever!

Definitely would use CIE Tours again. I loved their service, helpful and payment schedule was so accommodating. I received help with booking my flights and whenever I needed a copy of my invoice, they sent it right away. Top notch!

There was too much time on the bus I

would travel with CIEagain great trip

Great guides in Anita and Colum. Nice bus and hotels.

Great tour, great driver/tour director, great sites we visited.

The tour was great. The tour director was wonderful. We loved the sheep dog demonstration, the Covb, Waterford and Galway walking tours, and the hotels were very good. Food was also very good.

CIE lacking compassion.

The guide in my tour I would rate 4/5. The lower rating for service is primarily due to almost no assistance from the CIE office once I got COVID part way through my trip.
Any communication from CIE staff seemed only to be interested in whether or not I had medical coverage.
I was told I could not rejoin the tour even if I tested negative before my tour ended.
I realize it is not CIE’s responsibility to arrange accommodation and alternate travel once I was feeling better but I think it would have been appropriate to ask me a few more questions and offer some suggestions.
At the very least I think an email to check in to see how I was doing after a few days would have been in order.
Compassion was definitely lacking.

I would suggest this tour to anyone

The guide and bus driver Sam was excellent. They had stops that I wanted to see

Trip abroad was wonderful

Excellent trip going to Italy
