Irish Spirit June 2018

Went on the Irish Spirit tour from June 16-23, 2018. Our driver/guide John Callinan was amazing. He was kind, patient, funny, and very knowledgeable about the country. We loved all of our stops and met some lovely people along the way. I highly recommend this tour!

Good tour not clear booking...

We had a great time on our tour, but booking wasn't completely clear at the beginning (once they got our deposit). Specifically asked for a few places to see but when we arrived we found out we weren't seeing those places because we didn't book the last day. This was our first bus tour and our first tour of Ireland so we didn't know or understand the schedule resulting in what was a rocky start with the driver/tour guide but a fabulous finish. CIE never contacted me to apologize, explain or anything although Murt said he contacted the main office. I never heard from Ian Macgregor (our initial contact) although I emailed him and left about 5 phone messages.

Our 2nd tour with CIE, really good experience

Pleasant representatives but often difficult to get on the phone when we call. We were also given incorrect information about a transfer to the hotel from the airport.

Very well organized. Excellent tour director and bus driver team. We do recommend the company. We hope to travel with this company again within the next year.

The wife and I had a great time. Our driver Nills was the best. We highly recommend this tour.

great customer service and lots of fun

Solid

Solid bus tour company. Well organized, all hotels and activities pre-booked as part of a package.

Awesome Tour of Ireland

Everything about the tour was excellent. From the locations we visited to the meals and stop overs. But the best of all was our tour guide/driver Brian, who made everything fun and interesting.

Same guide from beginning to end of tour and he was excellent. All accommodations were very good.

They were helpful with booking our tour and when a problem arose about size of bed in room they called and made the correction with the hotels.

Excellent Company - Excellent Service

Because they handled EVERYTHING. All my husband and I did was sit back and enjoy. For us, it was the trip of a lifetime and having the excellent service of our CIE drivers and guides with us just made it a fantastic trip!

Tour was as advertised. Always on time. Patrick was perfect, made an effort to keep everyone happy.

The trip of a lifetime

The guy who booked my trip was so nice and found us the best deal. We were taking a trip for my fiancés birthday and was the most memorable trip!!

Great vacation

The tour was great. Refine, our guide, is extremely friendly and knowledgeable. She was always available to answer questions and help in any way. Our driver, Raymon, was equally wonderful.

CIE Tours is class..

Everything was simple and perfect. I've had the pleasure of using CIE Tours on 2 trips to the emerald isle. Both trips were flawless.. love it!

I had a travel agent set up my tour for me. When there was a change of hotels, they let the agent and myself know by email. And the replacement hotel was amazing!!

Excellent Vacation!

Easy to book and very helpful representatives to guide you along the way.

Taste of Britain - 7 Days/6 Nights

Nothing short of a wonderful trip!

The Irish Pub Tour - 9 Days/8 Nights

Everything was SO well taken care of. Our driver and tour direction, John Dalton, was a wonderful man - he gave us so much information in a droll way, making it fun to learn about Ireland. The hotels were good, the activities fun (especially the dog-herding show), and the food and drink were very good. I would definitely refer this journey.

Taste of Britain - 7 Days/6 Nights

Everything went very smoothly and we had a great time seeing everything we wanted to see. Our guide Anita was tremendous.
