4.6/5

The tour was well organized, the hotels were wonderful, and our driver/guide, Brian, was fantastic.

Irish Explorer wonderful tour!

Very good!

Excellent service, hotels, tour directors, itineraries, meals and transportation.

great trip - cant wait for the next one!

Great tour by CIE - wishing it was longer! We enjoyed the service of having someone else in charge of where we were going and when- for our group it was a blessing to have it all taken care of by our wonderful guide. We enjoyed Lawrence for the entire trip; his guidance and information combined with his wonderful sense of humor kept the group happy and moving along. We would have liked some more time at certain stops the reason we chose CIE was because they have done this so many times they know where we should be and when we should be there. The hotels were amazing and offered a great mix of city and countryside accommodations that provided the respite and relaxation we were after while seeing some great cities and towns. The food was very good and having breakfast everyday was a great way for the group to check in and get to know each other. We thoroughly enjoyed this experience and are already planning our next CIE adventure!

Noel, our tour guide and driver, was spectacular.

I wanted to see all of Ireland. CIE offered the best experience. The only part that was not exceptional were the Cabra and Derry accommodations and the shuttle to leave Ireland.

Great experience!

It was easy to book our trip. Because you spoke to a person, it took a bit of time to get through but it was worth the wait.

Excellent trip, coach was comfortable, Brian, our tour guide was excellent

I would recommend CIE to anyone, loved our guide. He was knowledgable and has great stories about all of our historic locations. The hotels and food was also great.

Very positive booking experience

Booking was made through my travel agent and was easy and convenient.

Our beautiful Ireland Pub tour experience

We truly enjoyed our Ireland tour. We visited the most breathtaking and beautiful places in Ireland. The scenery throughout Ireland was majestic. Our tour guide Leslie made our experience even better with his delightful comments regarding each city we visited. The Cliffs, Castles and historical pubs were the highlight of our amazing trip. I highly recommend this tour package.

The Wifi did not work on the bus at all. It was frustrating. The wifi signal was there but we could not get the data unless we use our own cellular data. That did not make sense. All the hotels' wifi worked great and the moment we got on the bus nothing worked. I could have learned a lot more about the history of the places that we were visiting. It would have been more interesting. For example I could not understand why we had to make some quick photo stops. If I had looked it up it might be more meaningful.

We could not change our seats due to Covid protocol. I got that but I wished we had small section of the window opened at times so that the air flow can be interrupted and reduced the contamination. Several people were coming down with something? It was just a matter of time before more people were getting sick. People would probably complain about the cold air but it sure would be better than getting sick on the trip especially when most people were older.

I did not like the policy that I could not cancel the extra night at the hotel when I booked it through your company. If I had known that I 'd have booked it myself so I can cancel 24 hrs before so I can get some $ back or credit on the next tour.

Our guide, Becky was great. She was very knowledgeable and professional. She got a good sense of humor and so was Gary, the driver.
It was hard to pay attention to the second guide who drove and talked. That was a lot of work for him. He had a great sense of humor as well.

CIE showed me Ireland and did a wonderful job.

CIE did a great job organizing this trip. The hotels were very nice. The hotel in Belfast was the nicest of the hotels. Out tour driver was great. He kept us on schedule and suggested things to do. Eileen was terrific booking the tour for me.

Impressed with thorough itinerary guide.

Efficient, friendly guide. I liked the way they handled the lady who broke her hand slip and fall.

Knowledgeable people and easy to work with and very friendly.

Dream Vacation

Absolutely Positively Perfect !
We saved for a Lifetime to take our Dream Trip to Ireland and it was totally worth it!!!

A bonus was being placed on the Tour bus with Colm!

He should be an Ambassador for Ireland!
He was INCREDIBLE! He made Dreams Come True and even helped me check off a box from My Special Bucket List!!!!

Great trip

Would travel with CIE again

An amazing taste of Scotland and Ireland

From beginning to end CIE offered a fantastic experience. The choice of events, sights and locations gave you a good overview that left you wanting more. I was particularly impressed with the driver/ guide Frankie who was with us throughout the tour. He was knowledgeable, patient, articulate and had a great sense of humour. I would recommend them to anyone who likes to travel in comfort and without worry.

CIE did a great job of the booking and everything went smoothly.

Excellent Tour

The tour was planned and executed very efficiently. Tour guide/driver was informative and personable. Hotels were comfortable. Additional guides were also knowledgeable, pleasant and entertaining. Food was okay.

Had no problems except small tour turned into a large tour.

We paid for a small tour, turned into a large tour. No partial refund offered

Incredible week

Great itinerary, great tour guide. The hotels were fantastic and so was the food selected at the the restaurants they chose. We couldn’t have asked for a better tour.
