4.6/5

Our “Taste of Ireland” tour was the perfect little tour!

We booked through a travel agent. She did a great job of answering all of our questions and when she didn’t know the answer she made some calls and found the answer.

Best tour we've done yet!

We have done tours before and loved them but this was definitely the best! We saw so much and the accommodations and meals were superb! Our driver Sam and tour guides were the best and we loved every minute.

Best of Britain

Just returned from my 2nd CIE tour. This one was the Best of Britain. Our family of four had an amazing time with an awesome group of travelers, a wonderful tour guide, Phil, and a very talented bus driver, Dennis. We saw so many historical and beautiful places. Although there is never enough time in Edinburgh, our family loved this tour. We ate good food, stayed in nice hotels, and really saw a lot of the UK. CIE does a great job of organizing trips, keeping the itinerary fast-paced, but manageable, and hitting the highlights of an area. We even hit a snag with the queen being in residence in Windsor, so our quick-thinking tour guide booked us a tour at Hampton Court Palace instead. What could have been a disappointment turned into a fun surprise! I would travel with CIE again and recommend it highly.

Excellent guide and driver. Very knowledgeable and professional.

Would recommend for younger people. We are 69 and 79 and there was a lot of walking.

We had several starts and stops because of Covid. The book service was as responsive as they could be considering the circumstance.

We could not have done and saw what we did without being on the tour!

Excellent service! Went to all the locations, and our driver of 35 years with the business was so smart with dates and history of Ireland!

The Tour was Good, we were left hanging at times for lack of information.

They visited all locations promised, exactly as stated. The transportation was very good lots of excellent scenery and photo ops. A lot of history of country and individual locations. Things didn’t go as smoothly on departure day.

Awesome!

My daughter and I had an awesome time. Everyone we came in contact was friendly, knowledgeable and wonderful to deal with. Dominic was so fun to be with. He was full of info about the areas we toured. He knew a lot of history. I would highly recommend and use CIE again

Fantastic Tour!

CIE had everything extremely well organized. Great service!

Fantastic trip!!!!

I booked this trip with AAA, so I didn't have direct contact. However the trip was originally meant for April of 2020. We had to reschedule several times and CIE was wonderful in allowing us to keep our promotional discount throughout each rescheduling. I'm so glad we stuck with it and went on the trip. What an absolute blast! I would definitely love to book with them again in the future.

Quantity and quality!

Professional attention to detail and perfect itinerary. Could not have packed in more. Variation of interests were covered. Good quality hotels and meals.

The tour was great; the guide was great.

The tour was wonderful and yes I would very much advise anybody going to Ireland to take this tour.

Loved our 9 Day Pub Tour of Ireland.
The accommodations and meals were great. Our bus driver PJ was amazing.

Excellent tour, absolutely loved the day tripper!

Professional, friendly, personable.

Great itinerary and tour guide

Great itinerary and tour guide

very worthwhile trip.

Your itinerary was very good. Tour director was outstanding, very accommodating and extremely knowlegeable of Irelands culture and landmarks. Only reason not 5 stars was trip was advertised as small group….unfortunately CIE consolidated 2 groups without informing us in advance.

Tour was very good! Tour guide was great!! Yes, we would use again.

Tour was set up very nicely! Great itinerary, different cities & sites! We even got to see parts of Northern Ireland.

CIE provided a great tour with quality trip venues (museums, castles etc), and tour guide.

We experienced a good taste of some of what Ireland is in a short period of time.

Greatest tour guide Brian Hanrahan!!!

Yes. Mostly awesome. A few hiccups along the way but our tour guide far made up for any slight oversights at hotels, etc.
