4.6/5

Tour guide was outstanding. His vast knowledge of Scotland's history, geology and places enhanced my experience. Coach driver also is recognized for not only driving a large coach on small roads his friendliness but also knowledgeable about places we saw.

5 stars!

Easy, extremely responsive and helpful!
Jeanette was amazing from start to finish! She helped us plan a trip that will be remembered for a lifetime. Booking was effortless for us due to Jeanette. The tour was well planned, each excursion offered an amazing experience. The tour guide Linda and driver Joe were awesome! I will recommend Jeanette and CIE tours to friends and family

Wonderful, educational and fun.

CIE had planned and implemented this trip with the greatest efficiency. Tour guides were very knowledgeable. Our tour guide in Scotland, Anya was delightful and informative. Our bus driver and guide for Ireland, Frankie was wonderful who share so much of his excitement for the history of his country.

Our tour guide, Pat, and our driver Mark took awesome care of all of us. They were friendly, funny, knowledgeable and so efficient. They made sure everyone was happy and having a great time. I know my husband and I were happy and we had a wonderful time. This was our second CIE tour, hope to do more.

Paddy was a fine driver and tour guide; the local guides and hotels were ex

Always responsive and friendly; although always a long wait.

Irish Legends Tour was amazing, Austin our driver was the best!

The tour was amazing, we saw so much! Loved our driver and will be going back soon! First class all the way!

Everything was good, no problems

Great trip!

Everything went extremely well, from booking, to itinerary, the excellent guide and driver, and accommodations.

Irish Explorer Perfectly done by CIE

The Tour Director Dominic is a National Treasure and lexicon of all things Irish. He made the tour excellent.

Our first trip to Scotland

All things considered, our tour, Scottish Isles and Glens, was exceptional. Graham Bruce, our tour director, provided us with so much well-rounded information on the area. We got history, geology, sociology all in one trip. He was also very kind and helpful no matter what the situation. Gordon Tait was a wonderful driver. He was very friendly and safety conscious. Both of them really cared about showing us the best of Scotland. The sites on the tour showed us a great mix of Scottish culture, from cities to small little villages. There was something for everyone. Hotels along the tour were fine. Nothing spectacular, but ok accommodations. The food provided was also just ok. Nothing sub-par, but nothing that stuck out as exceptional. My only recommendation would be to plan lunch stops a little more carefully. Lunch is always on your own, which was fine, but a couple of times there really wasn't anything to choose from. If Graham hadn't warned us to take along some snacks, we would have had a hungry day. I would definitely recommend the tour to others, though. The scenery is not to be missed.

Tour director was friendly and knowledgeable. The itenerary was well planned and executed. There was only one problem a reservation somehow was cancelled for a planned stop. However, it was not the fault of the tour director. The staff there was able to accommodate us anyways. Thanks Frankie for a great vacation.

Firstly, Dominic was 100%! Informative and personable. A delight. Most of the hotels were good. Food was good in all but Killarney avenue. Most days were enjoyable. The donegal part was not so much. Florence house was not very interesting and I felt we could have used the day to see the town. The crystal tour was too long, I wanted to see Irish culture . The time in Galway could have been better. Cliffs were awesome! The “ cruise” was not very interesting. Hotel was good.

This was a great tour. Hectic but well worth it Paddy our driver and tour operator was awesome . Our small group tour consisted of different ages and everyone was wonderful. The country is beautiful and the people are so friendly. Learned a lot and enjoyed every minute. Very glad I took this tour .☘️☘️

Quick response very professional

Phyllis was great to work with. She quickly replied to all my questions and had great suggestions

Excellent tour guides, picked up at airport worked great

Absolutely amazing!

Highly recommended! From the hotels to the tour and the very informative tour guide, a wonderful trip!

Got our travel documents only a couple days before the trip

Very unorganized as to mailing us our travel documents until just before our trip

A spectacular, glorious trip! Our tour guide Garry was phenomenal!!

This was a trip of a life time for me and CIE made it so easy to find exactally what I wanted and took care of all the arrangements for me including airfare!
