4.6/5

Everything is thought of and the people involved are top notch in both information and service. We wouldn't hesitate to book another trip with CIE.

Easy to Book!

I knew I wanted to use CIE as a good friend of mine highly recommended them. It was very easy to connect with one of their preferred travel agents that was in my state through their website. The travel agent I was connected with was excellent, fast, and very attentive. Thank you!

Will definitely be back for another tour.

The small group tour is the way to go. Tour was as described with some additional interesting stops along the way.
BUs driver, Paddy, was knowledgeable about alot of things so while on the bus , he gave us history, social, shopping, tidbits. Got a great glimpse of places I would go back to.

It was nice to be stationed in a hotel for more than one night. Hhave a day to explore/ shop etc more.

DO any of your tours go to the American Indian memorial sculpture?
(Kindred Spirits is a large stainless steel outdoor sculpture in Bailick Park in Midleton, County Cork)

Think that it should be added based on the number of times our guides spoke about the aid they received from America and the native american Indians.

Scotland Highlands

Our tour guide Graham Bruce and Bus drive Gordon Tait were awesome. The hotels were all clean, the staff were helpful when needed, food was well prepared and delish. The tour itself was more than we expected, with Graham's knowledge of the highlands and local folklore, we were both entertained and educated on Scotland's history and people to our heart content. The time on the bus itself was on the longer side, but that was to be expected considering how much was included in the tour. My husband and I had a fantastic time, the best memories and even though the weather was classic Scotland weather, we will be back again. Oh, the Highland Cows should be considered a national treasure, and the whiskey and haggis were great. Yes, everyone should try the haggis!

Our guide / driver, Brian was awesome in every way. There were a few stops along the way that were not excellent, but other than those few places / people I enjoyed every step of the way!

Beautiful scenery and fun people!

Tour guide/driver was excellent. Loved the itinerary. Food and accommodations also good.

Had a great Taste of Ireland tour with CIE.

There knowledge of Ireland and its history were outstanding. Every day was planned out very nicely. Sir back, relax and enjoy with CIE.

They took care of everything! It was amazing!

Yes. Good tour.

Great itinerary that covers the top destinations in Ireland

Great trip with an excellent itinerary. The only negative comment I have is that the hotels were not centrally located. Having to find transportation to town impacted the quality of free time. However, everything else was great.

Great trip.

Our tour guide was outstanding. Great trip

The tour was well organized, the hotels were wonderful, and our driver/guide, Brian, was fantastic.

Irish Explorer wonderful tour!

Very good!

Excellent service, hotels, tour directors, itineraries, meals and transportation.

great trip - cant wait for the next one!

Great tour by CIE - wishing it was longer! We enjoyed the service of having someone else in charge of where we were going and when- for our group it was a blessing to have it all taken care of by our wonderful guide. We enjoyed Lawrence for the entire trip; his guidance and information combined with his wonderful sense of humor kept the group happy and moving along. We would have liked some more time at certain stops the reason we chose CIE was because they have done this so many times they know where we should be and when we should be there. The hotels were amazing and offered a great mix of city and countryside accommodations that provided the respite and relaxation we were after while seeing some great cities and towns. The food was very good and having breakfast everyday was a great way for the group to check in and get to know each other. We thoroughly enjoyed this experience and are already planning our next CIE adventure!

Noel, our tour guide and driver, was spectacular.

I wanted to see all of Ireland. CIE offered the best experience. The only part that was not exceptional were the Cabra and Derry accommodations and the shuttle to leave Ireland.

Great experience!

It was easy to book our trip. Because you spoke to a person, it took a bit of time to get through but it was worth the wait.

Excellent trip, coach was comfortable, Brian, our tour guide was excellent

I would recommend CIE to anyone, loved our guide. He was knowledgable and has great stories about all of our historic locations. The hotels and food was also great.

Very positive booking experience

Booking was made through my travel agent and was easy and convenient.

Our beautiful Ireland Pub tour experience

We truly enjoyed our Ireland tour. We visited the most breathtaking and beautiful places in Ireland. The scenery throughout Ireland was majestic. Our tour guide Leslie made our experience even better with his delightful comments regarding each city we visited. The Cliffs, Castles and historical pubs were the highlight of our amazing trip. I highly recommend this tour package.
