4.6/5

. Very good experience and was very economical.

. It was a well organized tour. The tour director and guides were very good. The places where he visited were beautiful. I will be traveling again and will recommend to others to travel with CIE TOURS.

Excellent, organized tour, well done!!

The tour was so well organized, hotels were excellent and free time was well organized. Our tour guide, Marian Kelly was superb, her knowledge was incredible and she was on top of everything, and our bus driver Sean Walsh was excellent. I will definitely go on another CIE tour

Scottish Dream was pretty close to that (a few days weather notwithstanding

Booking was generally easy (had done before), but this time there was a slight delay in application of a special (2 for 1 airfare) to the bill. Note - it may be advisable to remind travelers to use the name on passport for booking, to save any potential difficulties at airport. Booking staff were courteous & professional, and we had no difficulties getting through.

A Tour to Remember and Treasure!

All aspects of this tour were handled expertly. I booked early as a single and added a companion later so so easily.

I absolutely loved my irish gold tour with cie.

I absolutely loved my tour with cie. I was hesitant when booking as it was my first tour and I was traveling alone. Everything was impeccable. Hotels, meals, tour stops, group, guides and driver. I highly recommend cie and will certainly be using them in future. Thank you soooo much for making a dream trip so fantastic!!! Special thanks to John, our driver & Tommy O’Reilly our guide. Fantastic trip.

The tour, the transfers, and the plane were are booked at the same time and everything fell into place.

Magical Experience! Recommend highly to all

Provided amazing experience at a great value. Tour director is knowledgeable and had a great sense of humor.

It was so easy to book the tour with the friendly agents. They provided all the information I needed and more!

Marlene (our tour director) and Pat our bus driver were a fabulous team!

Excellent! Very responsive staff. Easy to book our trip.

trip around Ireland

I enjoyed the itinerary of this trip.

Fantastic!

This was our 3rd trip with CIE and it was fantastic as usual! We will book with them again!

Great Trip

Easy to work with. I received my quotes in a timely manner.

If I re-visit Ireland, I'd definitely consider one of CIE's other tours.

After the initial booking (using Norwegian Air), the airline cancelled. CIE, without consulting me, re-booked our party on a different airline on a different date and at a different time - neither of which fit our overall plans. It was eventually straightened out, but CIE should have consulted me first and not taken the liberty to do so on its own.
Subsequently i had to cancel one of our party and CIE was very accommodating on this matter.
Regarding the tour itself, we had no complaints. I'd rate the Dunboyne Castle Hotel as excellent, followed closely by the Salt Hill and Killarney Towers. The Newpark and North Star were average.
If I were to go again, I'd skip any tour that included the Cobh Heritage Centre, Blarney Castle and Aran Islands. The remainder of the locations varied from very good to excellent (We all wished that the day on the Dingle Peninsula had been better.). Foley's Bar was very informative. It was unfortunate that the day in Dublin fell on a weekend - almost impossible to get into the Kilmainen Jail. The entertainment provided was very good and we all enjoyed the repertoire with Brendan, our tour guide.

Very professional and friendly.

Pretty straight forward on each tour.

Attention to group and individual needs was outstanding. Hotels varied in quality. I wasn’t particularly found of the driver/guide combination in Ireland although I understand the country finds that acceptable. Our driver/guide did a very good job but it was demanding of his attention to details of both.

Wonderful trip with keen guide and driver

Was able to book several extra days ahead of tour which was great

Patrick Smith was our driver/tour guide and he made the trip OUTSTANDING. We saw so many things in such a short time (would love to stay longer next time) but his knowledge of his country made everything...driving, eating, excursions...memorable.
