Excellent Tour Taste of Ireland♧

The tour was very well coordinated, informative, hotels and food were excellent. Pat, our driver and tour guide, provided so much historical information for each town and location, and he made the tour an absolute pleasure . Thank you CIE Tours, my grandchildren and I had a great time, and I would love to travel again with CIE Tours, and I would recommend CIE Tours to my family and friends. Thank you for such a fanominal experience in the land of my parents and grandparents.Margaret Gonzalez

Good but just lacking

The booking process was good. But we booked a year in advance so apparently some of the things on our itinerary had changed which was very disappointing especially since we were never informed of the changes

Tour was very well planned, kept to the time schedule but was able to make a couple xtra stops as time allowed. The driver and TG were a wealth of knowledge. Had a couple hiccoughs with the transport to and from the airport but was not CIE's fault and Barbara in CS was exceptional in rectifying the situation. Would recommend to others and plan to take another trip.

Perfect trip

This was an excellent tour I thought we had a wonderful guide as well as a wonderful driver. We were happy with all of the sites visited as well as the accommodations would definitely recommend this trip to others.

The booking service was fine and the tour guide was very well informed.

What an amazing experience!

An amazing, professional company. The booking was completed on-line. It was seamless.

They made it easy and clarified all our questions.

I used CIE Fly & Drive in Ireland in 2006 which went well. I recommended to two couples that we try the Escorted Bus tour (Mr. & Mrs. Devine and Mr. & Mrs Thomas) who accompanied my wife and I. Booking was efficient and responsive.

Excellent tour. Fast paced but absolutely beautiful!

The tour of Scotland and Ireland was absolutely amazing. I would have given it 5 stars except the pace was a little brutal. Now that I have seen both countries I realize I would have enjoyed it more if I had more time at various locations. It was wonderful to see so many different places but I think it would have more impact if the tour included visiting fewer locations but spending time and learning the history of some key destinations.

A first class experience.

They utilized very nice hotels, provided more meals than most tour services and had very accommodating and knowledgeable staff. In addition, the tour sites were well selected.

The tour was everything we hoped it would be. Our guide John was very knowledgeable and his recommendations were on point. The tour was a great way to see Ireland with a perfect mix of history, sightseeing and fun.

Tour arrangements were easy to make but airline reservations were very poorly handle. Multiple phone calls about seat assignments were not returned. In the end we had to pay extra directly to Aer Lingus to not be stuck in the last row of seats as assinged by CIE.

Stunning waterfalls, gorgeous glens, incredible memories made

We thoroughly enjoyed our first trip to Scotland. A CIE representative was there to greet us as soon as we collected our luggage. Our accommodations and included meals were very good. Our bus driver, John, and guide, Seamus, were knowledgeable and entertaining. Not only would I recommend this tour company, but I am already planning my next trip with CIE!

Super company and I'll uses them over and over.

I used my own booking agent to book this trip. However I used CIE before and they were very good. I would use CIE again next time.

The tour was great. Everything was set up for us, we didn't have to think or worry about anything. I highly recommend CIE tours.

Great Tour guide. Really like that all excursions are included

Booking was simple. Customer service was great.

Great trip!

Tour director and bus driver were both great, friendly, funny, and very knowledgeable.
The bus itself was not very comfortable - much like an airplane seat. The tour was great... saw many things you would not see on a cruise. The Roman baths, Stonehenge, Wales, sheepdog demonstration, and Edinburgh were real highlights. Not enough free time, however, and a very busy schedule.

Best tour ever!

The tour was well planned. Everything was handled for me but also time on my own.

Great tour guides and drivers! Nice hotels!

The tour was excellent. Very professional & the tour guide & the coach driver-tour guide were both 10/10
Food & entertainment was excellent
The only recommendation would be that the family rooms were all very small & crowded. Except for the last hotel which we stayed in in Shannon

Our tour guide Philip Duffy was the reason I gave 5 stars .
Philip Duffy was both bus driver and tour guide .That should not
be , simply for safety reasons .
Hotel selection was good to very good, Hotel location and lack
of a/c were neutral to negative. All CIE people that I contacted
before and during tour were excellent .Dumping us off on the last
day with a couple do it yourself tours was a major NO NO
