Scottish Isles & Glens - 13 Days/12 Nights
Must Do Adventure
Our Tour Guide Stephen Boyd and Bus Driver Mark Beard did an excellent job making this Scotland trip an adventure throughout the 12 tour days. Loved the bus tour and sights overall. Memorable sightseeing on the Isle of Bute including Mount Stuart House; the Castles including Eilean Donan, Dunvegan, Dunrobin, and Edinburgh; Loch Lomond, Inverwe Gardens & the Isle of Skye; the Orkney Islands (our favorite); Loch Ness, Culodan Battlefield, & sheep dog demo by Neil. Favorite Hotel was Crieff Hydro. Loved Edinburgh and super Tattoo with good seats (Novotel was good hotel & location near the Castle). The Edinburgh Hop on/off Bus was least favorite day because process to get usable tickets was too complex and too limited, suggest another activity for that final day in Edinburgh.

Taste of Ireland (Tour A) - 7 Days/6 Nights
Great tour!
It showed us many of the beautiful spots in Ireland in a relatively short time. It was great! The service for our tour was great. Our tour guide/ driver Michael Coleman was amazing. He was so informative, helpful interesting, funny and he had everything running perfectly. He was also a great bus driver. I would definitely do another CIE TOUR because this was such an amazing experience.

Surprised
Taking a coach tour was new for us, but we were pleasantly surprised with good choices for stops in small towns & villages. Sometimes we did feel a bit rushed, but a schedule had to be kept. So nice to have a plan & necessary tickets provided! Lisa is an excellent guide! Her information & organization were top notch! Hotel accommodations were very good! Stops in small towns & villages were great. Our guide Lisa provided very entertaining & interesting information along the way. Nice to have a schedule & provided tickets. Tattoo was awesome!!

Jewels of Ireland - 14 Days/13 Nights
Wonderful trip!! We love the people of Ireland and their beautiful country!
Our bus was clean and well driven by Mike!!! Our tour guide surpassed our expectations with his humor and knowledge. Brian our tour guide was beyond our expectations. His knowledge and , of course, his sense of humor made the trip exciting and fun. Mike our driver was fantastic on those tight Irish roads. The trip was well organized and created a trip of a lifetime. We got to meet the fabulous people of Ireland and see the most beautiful sites!! I highly recommend this trip. The only negative would be a little more variety of foods offered in the hotel meals. They were well prepared. Added adventures to small pubs off the beaten path to experience the people and music of Ireland made the trip unique. We really saw Ireland and felt the people of Ireland!!!

Irish Gold - 8 Days/7 Nights
My hiusgand and I have been wanting to tour Ireland for awhile now and decided to take the CIE tour. Glad we did, as the tour didn’t disappoint. We got to see a lot of the country and our tour guide Al and bus driver TJ were great-providing a lot of information as we toured the various sites. Loved that we were able to see many different sites and info shared with each. There were some places would have liked more time (Athlone) and others less time (Blarney Stone) but overall would recommend the tour. I would recommend adding an extra day at the end which unfortunately we didn’t do.

Scottish Isles & Glens - 13 Days/12 Nights
Amazing trip of a lifetime for me.
This trip truly brought my family history to life for me. It was breathtaking to see and touch Neolithic stones and sites. Tour and sights were amazing especially with an excellent tour guide who explained the historical significance of each.

Taste of Scotland & Ireland - 11 Days/10 Nights
We had a small group on our tour, which made the experience much more enjoyable. We had a fantastic time and our guide, Kieran Walsh, was a wealth of information. We covered a lot of ground in a relatively short amount of time. I hope we can go back some day and spend more time exploring. The military tattoo in Edinburgh was a highlight.

Irish Spirit- 8 Days/7 Nights
Competent, pleasant tour guide (Karl White). Always on schedule. Good planning. Karl helped me find an extra sight I wished to see ( a stone circle). Comfortable coach and hotels. Nice mix of free time and busy time. I guess we saw as much in 7 days as was possible. Didn't spend hours and hours on coach. Nice variety of sights.

Great trip and guide!
This was a great tour to get to see so much of England. Our guide, Lisa Richardson, absolutely made the trip. Was able to see more than if we tried to do it all on our own.

Scottish Isles & Glens - 12 Days/11 Nights
Scottish Isles and Glens - not to be missed!
We chose this trip because of the varied and extensive itinerary it provided. Some cities, but mostly beautiful countryside and sea views, coupled with rich history along the way. Two nights on Orkney and the Edinburgh Military Tattoo were the highlights of the tour for me, and the day on Skye was breathtaking.
Worth mentioning was the fact that CIE doesn’t offer “excursions” and includes them in their upfront price, which is not the case as other companies.
This was our first trip with CIE, and we were very pleased. Our tour guide was very knowledgeable and organized, and the driver was top-notch as well, having to negotiate city traffic as well as single lane Highland roads.
We would definitely recommend CIE to our friends (that’s how we discovered them) and would consider another tour with them outside of the UK (at this point we feel that we’ve sufficiently covered the UK and Ireland.)
