4.6/5

Tour guide, Gerry, was fantastic, so knowlegable and thoughtful. Tour was well organized, but there were a few things that would improve the tour.

Great experience; fun and knowledgeable guide.

They were quick to respond and assist us in making additional hotel arrangements.

I learned a lot about the history & culture of Scotland from a great guide.

The arrival experience was disappointing. I had to find and pay for my transfer to the first hotel. The rest of the tour was well done.

Some of the hotels were out of the city and hard to experience city/night life.

Meals at the hotels were repetitious.

Awesome experience!

Booking was a snap and the agent was very friendly and helpful. The tour was great!

Warm welcome

From the moment we were picked up at the airport we were made to feel welcomed and comfortable. Our guide, John C, was wonderful...full of information, local lure as well as advice. We got to know the folks we traveled with and had a ton of fun on our 12 day tour. There were a lot of laughs along the way.

A Taste of Scotland

The booking had no problems.

Cie delivered on evrything they promised

The first call I made to CIE did not go well but I called backed and got a young lady who was extremely helpful. She was a good communicator and followed up with timely emails. I did not get my first choice of tours and I tried different sites but went with CIE because of her help.

Awesome trip!

Ian was an exceptional guide. He knows the history very well and explained everything in great detail. He made the history come alive! Sam was an awesome driver too. He was very helpful. My only wish is that we could have stayed longer in each location.

We enjoyed our tour very much.All the hotels chosen were very good,except notable in Killarney.We were dunned at the checkout for a 7up.It was embarrassing,because we had no idea,we had been charged for it.Notes should be added to the tours that coffee and water are the only free drinks.Our driver Jim was funny,informative and lovely.He made the travel fun and we all felt at ease.I do feel were didnt have enough time at Blarney Castle.We had to chose between touring the grounds and gardens or stand in line an hour to kiss the Blarney Stone.We loved Ireland and we cannot wait to visit again!

My tour guide, Liam, was great! Very knowledgeable, friendly and professional.

Our tour of Ireland was so beautiful, stress free and well organized. They changed seats everyday, so everyone got a fair chance to experience the tour from a different view. We stayed in 4 or 5 star hotels, and travelled in a luxury coach. Our tourist attractions were all included, and in some cases included private tours.

Trip of a Lifetime

From the sights, to the food, to the pubs, to our awesome tour guide, Michael, it was a trip we’ll never forget.

My initial booking was through CIE but was transferred to Vacations to Go because VTG was willing to give us a discount that CIE office was unwilling to do. But the CIE staff was informative and helpful.

A Great Sampler of the Emerald Isle

I have wanted to visit Ireland since I was little, and I chose this tour because it offered many of the places that I wanted to see. It was a very packed itinerary, felt like we were on the go all the time, but in less than a week I was able to cross the Halfpenny Bridge in Dublin and stand atop the Cliffs of Moher and enjoy fish and chips in many different pubs. It was a relief to have someone else take care of the driving and the hotel arrangements and most of the meals. Our tour guide, Jim, was informative and entertaining. I fell in love with Killarney and Galway, so now I just need to find the time and money to go back.

Very relaxing, great scenery, great guide

Easy to do and staff very helpful during the process
