CIE Tours was first rate and a great vacation experience.

The tour guide and bus driver, Murt O'Shea, made sure our trip was safe, organized, and well informed. His information about Ireland was exceptionally detailed, humorous, and frank. "Murt" was the absolute highlight of the tour and I would recommend CIE Tours include him on as many tours as possible. The hotels were very clean, modern and organized, and the staff was very helpful and professional. As mentioned in previous reviews, the hotel food selection was beef, chicken, fish, and vegan time and time again. I would suggest the hotels include Irish dishes that can't be replicated in the USA. The sites were interesting and will be something I can always say, "I was there" when I see it on TV or in a movie. CIE Tours is very organized and of good value. The only glitch we had was when our flight from Atlanta, GA was delayed 3 1/2 hours, we nearly missed the bus and the driver was somehow told we had called and left two messaged that we were going to miss the bus pickup when in fact the message was that it was our intention to make the tour but the last ground transportation pickup at the airport was at 12 noon and the bus was leaving at 2 PM. I would have hoped CIE Tours would have coordinated/anticipated the likelihood of late departing/connecting flights in the future and have a plan to address those likelihoods. We caught a cab, after standing in line for over 30 minutes at the taxi stand (very few taxis available at the airport) and made the tour bus at 1:55 PM for a 2 PM departure. Other than that problem, the tour went off without a hitch everyday and the itinerary was comprehensive and fast pace. Thanks to CIE Tours as I would recommend them to anyone vacationing in Ireland!

Most hotels were great but a few were not in the heart of the town.

Ireland Solo Travel

The tour was everything I hoped for and more. As a solo traveler they were able to make the perfect accommodations for me. Only negative for me was seat assignments on the charter bus. Once I made friends with other travelers I would have preferred to sit with them. The wifi was also hit and miss on the bus.

Best experience tour i ever had in a long time

I think I got the most what I wanted to do and see from this tour! It’s nice to not planned things yourself or even drive yourself in foreign countries. Great staffs. I’d recommend people to give it a go! Sean is the best! Thanks for getting us to destinations safely!

Each phone call was handled by a different agent, inconsistent information. I almost cancelled the entire trip but Andrew Wells saved the day.

Irish Gold Tour is pure gold!

This was our first overseas trip as well as our first tour. The trip was fantastic and exceeded our expectations. Our tour guide, Marian Kelly was exceptional! Her knowledge of Irish history intertwined with her own family history made the trip come alive. She went above and beyond to make sure the tour group was taken care of. And Martin, the driver, got us everywhere safe and sound. They both were instrumental in making this a most memorable trip.
We were also pleasantly surprised by the quality of the hotels. First class all the way!
And the sites visited on the Irish Gold Tour enable us to develop an understanding and appreciation of Ireland's past.
I would highly recommend CIE Tours to my friends and family. Thank you for a fabulous trip!

I think we spent too much time on the bus. The hotels were good. I would have liked a bit more free time in Edinburgh, Glasgow, limerick. Guide during part of Scotland tour was so hard to understand, hee accent was too strong, sge spoke too fast I would have liked subtitles. This was my first tour. I enjoyed social aspect, meeting other passengers, tour director, Marie was very nice. No wifi in the bus was a total fail. You have to filx that. I enjoyed river cruise with crooner. The sheep herding visit was slso good. Tge cliffs of mohr day was very good. I would have liked time to scale all four cliffs. I did not enjoy the castle show so much. It was a little too much, too many people crammed into one space. I would have liked more free time, flexibility. All in all we enjoyed ourselves, we met nice people, saw beautiful scenery, got. Good taste of the ireland and Scotland.

Fantastic Tour

I have nothing but positive things to say about CIE Tours. They were great from the time of booking till the end of the tour. They really thought of every little thing and attended to our every need. It was a pleasure to travel with CIE. Our tour guide/driver (Brian) was fantastic. He kept us entertained, informed, and on schedule during the entire tour. I was impressed with the organization of everything and the seamless itinerary each day. I will certainly keep CIE Tours in mind for my next trip abroad.

Fantastic way to see Ireland!

I can’t say enough about our wonderful tour guide John!! Besides being skilled at driving that huge bus around all of those narrow Irish roads, he never missed a beat in sharing his historical knowledge during our week across the lower portion of Ireland!! He truly made our experience enjoyable. I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend CIE as a tour company.
