Scottish Dream Tour

This is my third trip through CIE. Even with all the covid issues booking was very easy

My travel agent handled the booking

Terrific Introduction to Great Britan

We booked through our travel agent and she helped getting us through all the COVID requirements. She also helped us with working through an extension and travel arrangements.

Really, really nice tour

Yes I would use CIE again. Great tour guide (Noel). Rapid pace but time to recharge for the next stop. Did not feel rushed at the attractions. Nice meals and accommodations. Clean and modern hotels except for the castle stay which was clean and quaint with all the amenities. Gave a comprehensive view of beautiful Ireland.

Beyond My Expectations!

Absolutely fantastic tour! Beyond my expectations! Super organization from beginning to end. Great customer service and great tour guide. I hope to take another tour with CIE!

Very organized and friendly

Easy to work with and so helpful in the chat. With all the COVID rules and delays they communicated the latest news so we’d be up to date. Quick responses.

I loved Alisdair and Mark and had a wonderful time traveling with my Mom!!

I absolutely loved the the tour, the hotels and all the beautiful scenery! The tour guide and driver with amazing and fun! Thank you. Traveling and making memories with my Mom in a stress free way was amazing!!!

Boooking was handled through a travel agent--no comment.

Agents were very informative and polite. Would highly recommend CIE tours.

Very efficient and accomodating

The 2 night stays were great, time to explore the town we were in, hotels were excellent

Excellent itinerary, great hotels, and our guide and bus driver ( Brian and Pat) were the best I have ever experienced. Knowledge of Ireland history and and always pleasant and helpful

The replacement tour, Taste of Scotland and Ireland, was wonderful.

Our original trip was planned for 2020. The tour we took was a replacement which caused some problems, as it was put together quickly, with the plane tickets and other items. But CIE personnel, especially Anthony, Christian and Mark, worked with us and resolved all problems very quickly. I couldn't be happier with the people we dealt with. Because of Covid rules and restrictions, that changed on a daily basis it seemed, we did have some other problems but British Airways helped us resolve them. Both CIE and British Airways personnel were great. The tour itself, Taste of Scotland and Ireland, couldn't have been any better. Even the weather cooperated. This was our second trip with CIE and we will be back once the Covid restrictions are in the past.

An excellent trip around Ireland’s coast line. Would recommend 10 out of 10

The tour was fantastic. I felt like I got to see so much of Ireland in just a few short days. The days are filled with lots of adventure, and the tour guides are very knowledgeable. I had an amazing experience, and I wouldn’t trade it for the world. The hotels that CIE books through are wonderful, and the meals are an entire experience. My tour guide was very knowledgeable about the area and the history. Amazing trip

Very Helpful & Professional

Great Trip

Very good tour.

I enjoyed the tour and the hotels. Riding the bus isn’t the best part although the scenery was spectacular. I would have liked walking tours using the headsets. I have enjoyed using the headsets with other companies.

Travel with CIE You will Discover so Much!

We booked directly with CIE Tours and the service was exceptional (with the exception of information about in-country COVID testing which could've been more thorough).

We'd travel with CIE again!

Friendly, knowledgeable, helpful, fun!

Helpful , efficient

Met all our expectations of 'Taste of Britain & Ireland'

Good tour guides, nice places to stay, desirable stops and places to see.

The pandemic made a mess of trying to schedule this trip — thé orignal date was May 2020 and it was rescheduled four times (including flights). On top of the pandemic, my original plans had to be modified from double occupancy to single because my friend backed out due to illness. The CIE reps were fabulous in handling all these changes, significantly reducing my worries and concerns.

Booking was simple; we were able to do it ourselves online. In the past we were required to go through a travel agent.
