4.6/5

My husband and I had a wonderful trip!

Booking was smooth and easy. The whole trip was done at a relaxing pace and we felt like we were able to see and do more on this tour than if we went on our own. Our driver/guide was very knowledgeable and did well with keeping us on schedule.

Smooth as can be.

Everything went smoothly, from the booking of the trip, to the trip itself. CIE moved your luggage from room to room throughout the trip.

Answered questions very kind courteous and helpful

Very helpful with questions and they were kind and courteous

Scotland in 12 Days !

We just returned from our CIE Scotland Tour and could not be happier.
We booked with Vacations to Go --- Zane Boone was excellent and assisted us with just the right tour to see Scotland. CIE Tours was a Superb choice. They really know Ireland, Scotland and England. We had an excellent tour guide - Di and an excellent & safe driver. We started outside Glasgow, went North and then East ending our 12 day tour in Edinburgh. It was a Superb Tour.

Enjoyably comprehensive information about Ireland - current & historical

Once the flight details were worked out, which were tedious, the booking service was great.

Very efficient, all my questions about the tour were quickly answered and the booking was seamless.

A trip others should take and well worth the cost!

CIE Tours did a great job overall in what it offered on this small group tour of Ireland. The Classic Ireland tour allowed us to see many of the best spots in two countries. The hotel accommodations were very good (except for the ones in Dublin that were outside of the city), as were the meals provided. The dinners and show in two castles were outstanding! The tour guide could have been better, as he rarely stayed with the group on stops, often repeated himself unnecessarily, and sometimes was less than positive in answering travelers' questions. I would definitely recommend CIE trips to others.

Our tour guide and bus driver, Michael Coleman, was great. He was informative, funny and a great guy!

Booking was easy. However my husband and I ended up on a tour of all women and many had some physical limitations.

This was our first CIE tour and we thoroughly enjoyed it. Can’t wait to go

Booking was seamless and easy. I called a few times with questions and each time the person was very pleasant and helpful. Our trip was excellent as well. Our guide David Turner and our coach driver Dennis were excellent - very pleasant and superb hosts! We loved every stop. Wish we could have visited Windsor Castle which was closed and not under CIE’s control but the backup plan was fine. David adjusted schedules when we faced unexpected traffic or issues, and was very pleasant managing our very large tour group of 43. Dennis was an excellent driver driving us from place to place. Loved our trip! Can’t wait for our next one.

The tour guides never disappoint!

I had no trouble making the reservations and the email response from the company was very good.

Easy to book!

Trouble free trip from start to finnish

My dealings with the booking service were very good. We decided to book our own flights but wanted to include transfers from and to the Dublin airport. They explained how we could do that and the trip went smoothly with no problems.

An unbelievable Tour of Ireland

We did the 2019 Irish Gold Coach Tour 8 days/7 nights in June. We absolutely loved the tour. All 4 star hotels. The meals provided were exceptional. The sightseeing spectacular and inspiring. Our tour guide Lloyd was fantastic along with John our Cronin Coach Driver. They were so interesting and informative. They worked in some extras for the tour. I would wholeheartedly recommend this tour. We plan to book CIE in the future.

My only complaint which has nothing to do with CIE was the transport bus we paid $15 through CIE to go from our final hotel in the morning at 8:00am to the Dublin Airport. The coach didn't show up at 8:00am. Then they called the hotel saying they were 20 minutes late and would arrive by 8:30am. Then at 8:37am they called saying they were right around the corn. By 8:47am they still hadn't arrived. At that point the est. 14 people waiting like ourselves started to take cabs to Dublin Airport. When we left at 8:52am in a cab, the coach still wasn't there. So I would recommend you don't use whoever the service was to transport the travelers back to the airport.

I booked my visit to Ireland through the Dublin office. May 2019 I will always remember discovering Ireland with CIE Irish Gold Tour! The itinerary, accommodations, and food, for me, was great. This was my first solo adventure and your team of Lloyd, guide and Greg, driver added to that with their knowledge and interactions with the questions. They run a smooth CIE Coach. 👍🏻👍🏻 up! Definitely planning a return to beautiful Ireland within the next year.

Tour director & driver were great!

We've booked with CIE many times & they don't disappoint with the tours. Hotel service at 1st hotel was lacking: didn't have room access until 15 minutes before afternoon tour began; no time for freshening up after overnight flight!

Agenda completely fulfilled. Wonderful tour guide.

Yes; extended airfare to allow my purchase

Safe, informative and FUN!

What a wonderful experience! I
Our tour provided the perfect blend of historical information, beautiful scenery and fine entertainment. Our tour guide, Dennis O'Sullivan, was an expert driver, great commentator and fun loving comedian! We left Ireland full of life long memories. I highly recommend CIE.

It was easy and when I had questions they were answered immediately.

Loved Ireland,missed A/C

Problem was lack of A/C in hotels. Trinity College was a missed opportunity to discuss its role in the Irish Revolution. Speaker wasn’t very good. Not too much of Dublin or Belfast seen.
