Scots Irish Tour - 11 Days/10 Nights
From beginning to end the tour was excellent. The locations, guides, accommodations and food were all top notch.
Our tour director Colum and guide Fiona were kind, professional and very accommodating. They have a great sense of humor and knowledgeable about the areas visited.
In Ireland Colum continued with his high level of hospitality and Mike his relief driver and our guide was incredible.
City guides were awesome as well.

Taste of Scotland & Ireland - 10 Days/9 Nights
Loved this trip. Was able to see and do so many different things I would not have planned for myself. The driver and guide were excellent. The hotels were very nice. I wasn’t impressed with the dinners. Only had the option to choose from a limited menu such as chicken, fish or vegetarian. We were kept busy the entire time. Would have liked more free time. It seemed like our free time was limited based on the amount of hours the driver is allowed per day. Overall, I was happy and would recommend.

Irish Classic - 12 Days/11 Nights
CIE is the Best tour company I’ve ever dealt with. You can always get in touch with a representative and they can answer questions and seemingly solve any problem. My brother and sister-in-law were traveling with us and were a little nervous (first time out of the country). Your people took such great care of them. Thanks so much for that.

Scottish & Irish Gold - 15 Days/14 Nights
I was very excited for this trip and to spend time in 2 countries I love. Scotland started off well, it didn't feel too rushed at each location. The tour guide and driver were wonderful. I learned so much about the country's history and culture. The tour guide was able to adapt to certain closed areas (thats what happens when you travel before the tourist season kicks in) and I felt well informed each night.
Unfortunately I did not know that the one trip I booked was actually 2 trips squished together. It felt a little jarring to change tour guides and bus drivers in the middle of the trip, part ways with some guests, meet new guests, and to spend a day "killing time" before arriving in Dublin. I would have much rather made it to Dublin in time to meet the new tour group, have some time in the city, and go for the welcome drinks, instead of meeting them on the bus the next day.
The Ireland portion was much faster paced. It felt like we were constantly moving and did not have enough time anywhere to fully enjoy the sites. The tour guide and bus driver were very nice and knowledgable. I wish we were able to vote on attractions we wanted to stay longer at. It also had a shopping focused day, which seemed out of place and was at a location that was very high end, if we could have opted out of that it would be nice. The music was wonderful wherever we went and Ireland had a lot more "included adult beverages," if you like the Irish coffees.
Just a big note if you are traveling with food allergies/restrictions - these were not always accommodated at each location and often I had to order off menu to receive food that could work. Since the allergies & restrictions were provided in advance, I assumed they would be taken care of at each meal (with maybe just a quick double check). I was often served food with an allergen or there was no record of my restrictions when arriving at each location. I spent a lot of time visiting grocery stores to supplement my food. It would also be nice to have protein options for vegetarians rather than big salads.
Overall I am glad with all the history that I learned, the landscapes that I visited, and the folklore provided by the guides.

Onya, Jackie and Lawrence were fantastic! The tour was a bit brief and fast paced at some times, but my entire family had a great time!

Taste of Italy with Sorrento - 10 Days/9 Nights
This was our 3rd trip with CIE. We like CIE because they provide a good number of included meals and there are no extra fees for anything! The itinerary was perfect. We got to spend time in the major cities and saw the iconic sites in each city. The tour also allowed free time in each city to explore in your own. One if the nicest things on our tour was our free morning in Rome. Our guide, who grew up in Rome, offered to take us on a walking tour to see a few things that weren’t included like the Trevi Fountain and The Spanish Steps. It was a wonderful experience! Sorrento was a pleasant surprise! The city is beautiful and has a charming city center with great shops and restaurants. The only thing we were not happy with on the entire trip was our hotel in Sorrento. It was old and dated and the food was terrible. The hotel said they had air conditioning but they don’t turn it on until May. We tried sleeping with the window open but it was too noisy. All of the other hotels were wonderful.

Tuscan Treasures with Cinque Terre - 8 Days/7 Nights
We loved every minute of our time on this tour. The program was well thought out and featured a wonderful variety of experiences. It was great fun touring with our group from different parts of the USA. Our guide Marco worked diligently to navigate road conditions, potential rail strike, we learned a lot from his depth of knowledge and familiarity with the places we visited. Italy is a food destination, and every meal was better than the last. Tuscany is so strikingly beautiful especially in the Spring. This is our second tour with CIE. It's great to have everything pre-planned. I highly recommend CIE tours.
