4.6/5

Trip of a Lifetime!

The booking process was very easy, the customer service agents were very responsive, offered help as I needed it and everything was incredibly seamless.

Great trip!!!! Tony did fantastic job keeping the group informed of the sites and kept everyone moving.
The food at the CIE stops was fantastic.

Loved CIE!

The whole process from the website to the final leg of our trip back home exceeded our expectations. The website was so easy to use because everything was laid out and easy to understand.

Exceeded our expectations

I booked through travel agent - everything went smoothly

Made all the pre trip plans easy including advice on pre and post tour arrangements

Hassle free

Hassle free. Loved having all the planning done for me. All I had to do was show up

FANTASTIC EXPERIENCE START TO FINISH!

Roisin was amazing and could not have made it easier. She was fantastic to work with. So much so, we have already booked a second tour!

THE BEST

I've now been on two adventures with CIE Tours International ... last one to Ireland and the first to England, Scotland and Wales. The accommodations, sights, meals, guides, drivers and buses are all top of the line. Spoil you for any other Tour Company!

AMAZING

We had an AMAZING trip to Scotland and Ireland. Our guides were incredible, the sights were incredible, EVERYTHING WAS INCREDIBLE. My favorite part would have to be when my boyfriend proposed and our guides went above and beyond to make us feel special - upgrading our rooms to suites, having champagne sent to us, chocolate strawberries, a signed card, balloons, it was so amazing!

Outlander tour of Scotland.

We loved everything about our tour. The hotels were wonderful, the food was great, the weather cooperated and out guide Graham was a delight. He was so knowledgeable about the areas we visited and the history of the clans. Would not think twice about booking with them again.

Awesome trip

The tour was great and the driver/guide (Noel) was fantastic. Lots of great stops and fantastic food and entertainment. I would recommend this tour highly.

Pub Tour

The tour itself was 5 star the booking service experience was one star until I complained and a supervisor took over my booking.

Did it online. Was easy and straightforward. Unfortunately, the balance due changed between when we originally booked and when we paid the balance. That was the one negative part of the experience.

First bus tour....amazing trip.

I booked online. It was efficient and I was able to phone to confirm anything that I wondered about.

Yes I have recommended them to others. In the future I would use an agent rather than handling everything on my own. Your representatives were helpful and polite and efficient. It would have been easier to coordinate our plans with two of us traveling together but not at the same address.

Took a long time to get answers

The whole tour was delightful and very professionally run. We enjoyed Harry the guide very much, and were impressed with the pacing and service.

Would do it again in a heartbeat!!

Our tour director was Francis Carroll (I believe that is last name). He was phenomenal. He really made the tour very special. He has so much knowledge to tell. He played special songs for us. He is very organized, calming and efficient at the same time. It is hard to explain in words all the ways he made the trip so special. We would definitely want to take another tour with him at a later date. Our driver was Ollie. He also was a special part of our tour. They both made us feel so comfortable. We were lucky to get the Tattoo show as part of out trip. The show was awesome. So happy we had that opportunity.

We were lucky to have only 11 people on our tour (and my family was 4 of that 11). Do not think we would have liked as much with large group. That would definitely be a consideration for future travel.

The one very negative part of our trip was the day we arrived and had to get the transportation to the hotel. That needs to be changed!!! People should not have to wait around for long periods of time. That experience was not pleasant.

Booking was fine. The sights were beautiful, hotels were nice and food good. The pace of the tour was bit too fast for us. We would have enjoyed more free time during the tour. We understand that we had a lot of ground to cover but planning for more free time every 3 days or so would have made the tour more enjoyable. Our guide was very knowledgeable. However, his personal political opinions seemed to frequently spill over into his commentary.
