Wonderful experience touring Ireland

Yes I would recommend CIE, at times it was difficult for our travel professional to get answers in a timely manner but, they did respond.

Guide was excellent very knowledgeable

Yes I would recommend CIE

A great experience we will always remember.

Our tour was great. Phil Coates our tour director was fabulous. Dennis Murphy was our driver and I felt extremely safe. We really loved the entire trip and the places we visited were great. The shuttle from airport to hotel when we arrived did not go well. We were delayed processing through customs and had hire transportation because the driver left 5 minutes prior. I was disappointed with that and was a little apprehensive about how the rest of our tour was going to go but Phil and Dennis save the trip.

Excellence by CIE in Iceland

Everything worked perfectly and staff was outstanding

Tour was well-organized so we saw many sites and covered a lot of the country. Most hotels were what we expected.

noone to compare to

Outstanding customer service.

CIE graciously worked with us extending our tour from July 2020 to August 2022 due to the pandemic, they were wonderful. We had a couple of false starts due to on again off again travel restrictions, airline disruptions, etc. Each customer service rep that I dealt with was professional, courteous and a problem-solver.

No hassle

We booked through our travel agent and everything went smoothly

Responded quickly to questions and issues that arose.

good, double check details

well organized once on ground, some issues with extra day reservations along with request for twin beds for each night of tour.

Excellent comprehensive tour of Scotland

Excellent guides, driver, itinerary; good lodging, meals.

CIE know what they're doing

CIE thinks ahead and plans well. Daily excursions were well executed and obvious preparation went on behind the scenes. Tom was incredibly outgoing and truly seemed excited to educate and accommodate along the trip.

Our Scotland trip experience exceeded our expectations! Thank you...

We originally scheduled our trip for August 2020. Due to the pandemic, our trip was rescheduled to August 2021 and then again it was cancelled and rescheduled to August 2022. CIE was very accommodating and flexible in helping us to modify our trip plans over the course of the pandemic to ensure we were able to ultimately take our family vacation.

Wonderful introduction to Ireland

Tour was reasonably priced. The welcome package had good information and the VAT card to get you started. Hotels were 4.2 stars or higher. Check in was pick up your room keys, no signing in.They booked venue times so that in most cases we were first of the day. Every guide we had at the various sites was first class. Paddy our bus driver/guide was a wealth of knowledge and extremely skillful both city and country. Bus was comfortable and had emergency potty on board. We saw many sites we would not have seen or learned so much about. There were some sites I wold have liked to have had more time to explore, but the trade off was such a variety of places. Would definitely do again.

Wonderful time at Taylor's Three Rock! Awesome show, and plenty of food!

CIE Tours was an awesome experience of a very beautiful country! Would recommend this Tour to see all of Ireland with a great itinerary! We saw and did a lot of fun things with a great group of new friends! Our Driver Sean Gray was the best! Very knowledgeable, funny man! The Hotels and food were the best! If you want to see Ireland, do it with CIE Tours, you won't be sorry!

CIE was very instrumental and accommodating in answering our questions and in providing information

Lots of spectacular sights.

Good hotels, flights and local travel were all great.

LovedThe Taste of Scotland and Ireland

Wonderful tour - gave a sampling of Scotland and Ireland.

A Great Time!

Our tour guide Brian, bud driver Mervin, and overall itinerary were all great! They were so knowledgeable, hardworking, and always made sure that everyone was safe and taken care of. I just wish that certain excursions were planned for longer allotted times (e.g., our time in Galway City, etc.).

Best vacation ever

From start to finish this tour was wonderful Anya our tour guide and Colum our driver in Scotland and Tommy our guide and Brandon our driver in Ireland were so great they took care of everything they were very knowledgeable of the history of each country also very friendly and entertaining. The drivers of these big buses on very narrow roads were so great at getting us where we needed to go safely. The itinerary was excellent we saw so much . We are very happy we used CIE Tours
