Easy to deal with and quick responses.

Irish Gold struck gold

I want to let you know how much fun we had on the Irish Gold tour. Our tour guide Marian Kelley was awesome, she made us all feel welcomed from the moment we met her. Her passion for Ireland comes through, we enjoyed her stories, history and the extra details she put into the tour (We did the Gaelic Roots live show which was awesome). My only negative comment would be that I wish the larger more crowded parts (Galway and Dublin) could have been done on a week days instead of the weekend when it it so crowded.

But we had an awesome time.

Our tour was an excellent tour due to tour guide John Cunningham. He was very knowledgeable on the history every where we went. He seem every concerned on the well being of every passenger making sure each of us was well attended to.

We had issues with the transfer taxis and the last hotel/area we stayed in. The area was not safe. Two of our people in our group was in a drugstore while it was being robbed. Other taxi people told us we were in a bad area and you could just tell. The taxi service could care less if they picked us up to and from airport. When we arrived in Scotland we waited an hour for them to send someone for us. One couple had to pay out of pocket to get a taxi on their own to get to the airport. They almost missed their flight. It was unexceptionable. We kept being told they were on their way. But never showed up. .

Brendan was fantastic

Brendan went above and beyond to give us the history of the different areas we were in. He was very helpful to allow us an opportunity to get in a round of golf. A true asset to your business

Fantastic trip, lunch and look around stops could be longer

Travel agent handled this

Great tour guide Sean; cared about each of his 25 travelers..

I would recommend them for taking care of details & small group travel. Didn’t like the first Clayton Hotel in Dublin due to no AC; Front desk didn’t bring a fan even when requested; location way out with no real restaurants/shops within walking & the first Hop on Hop Off Bus location is 30min walk away.. should have used Academy Plaza Hotel twice since it’s in a great location for restaurants & shopping and the Bus is right there!

Very well planned trip!

We would definitely recommend using CIE for an Ireland tour group. They have been doing tours for many years, and have the itinerary fine tuned to see as much as possible with a group. The hotels were 4 star places and the dinners included were great.

First trip abroad felt well taken care of

After a brief discussion with my agent Phyllis and told her what some things I wanted to see and do in Ireland she got back to me with a trip and even made sure my extra day was accommodated! Only thing different is maybe more time to explore some areas. I felt so pampered . Just had to worry what time I needed to get up

Patient
Easy and informative
Detailed cooperative

The itinerary was well planned. The tour guides were very knowledgeable. and communicated very well.

Great Trip

I handled most of the booking through the chat feature and it was a quicker way to do this than by phone because the wait to talk with someone can take some time. Everything worked well except the flight schedule could have been better. We had two stops going with a 5 hour layover on the first stop and a really tight connection on the second. There were only two stops on the way back but still a five hour layover. Everyone I chatted with at CIE was very helpful and professional.

Outstanding service and enjoyed the tour.

Recommend them for you travel.

We had a great time. Just a few things could be tweeked

We went through a travel agent

My travel agent suggested CIE

Knowledgeable and friendly people. No stress, all taken care of.

We loved that everything was taken care of. When we got to a hotel, we just picked up our key and our bags were already in our room. All the guides were knowledgeable and welcoming. Food was good and service was friendly.

Our Driver/Guide, Murt, was excellent. He was a skilled driver, knowledgeable about every area of Ireland that we toured, personable, entertaining and had great suggestions about what to do on our own.

One of the best tours I have ever been on. Everything perfect

Everything from the motor coach to the hotels - to the meals - to the timing - to the driver - Murt OShea - to the itinerary - perfect

Well organized and kept to a busy schedule. Excellent bus driver / tour guide with a good sense of humour.
