4.6/5

Trip was amazing!

The booking agent here Carol Galloway with Avoya travel was excellent! Our trip was delayed by 1 year due to covid but we has a wonderful time. CIE has great tour guides, we were on the go seeing new sites that were so exciting to experience. Only draw back was timing of the flights on the way back to long of a layover after reaching the states.

Our total experience from getting picked up at the airport to being shuttled back was exceptional. Our guide, David, and our bus driver, Pallie, along with great hotels and meals made the tour seeing all the beautiful country of Iceland a memorable experience.

Our tour guide Marian Kelly was wonderful !

I booked through my travel agent of AAA. She makes things easy. My original tour the Irish explorer was cancelled and I was disappointed. We were placed on the Irish gold tour and although I did not get to Donegal, my great grandfather’s birthplace I fell in love with Ireland. Marian Kelly was our tour guide and made our 50th anniversary very special. Arranged rose petals in our upgraded room at the Great Southern and had Christy Moore at the Marine pub dedicate a song to celebrate our 50th. CIE tours made the trip easy, from checking in to getting our Covid tests. Memorable trip of a lifetime !

Loved it loved it was the best trip of our life.

The driver / guide /friend Tony was the main reason he made every day a great day and made sure we enjoyed it to the max. He taught he listened he shared and he kept us safe and entertained.

Wonderful trip!

We didn’t personally use their booking service. We went through a travel agent.

Incredible 8 days on the Emerald Isle

Accommodations were outstanding. Food included was excellent and opportunities to get food on my own was also great. Brandon, our guide was phenomenal. Not only did he give us historical background on the tour, he also gave perspectives on the struggles with independence, Northern Ireland and the European Union. I gained a real appreciation for the people of Ireland.

Our tour guides were very helpful and knowledgeable of Scotland and Ireland. I will tour with CIE again and will continue to recommend CIE Tours.

Good the guide was excellent

My lifelong dream realized.

I booked through Tour Radar, and they represented CIE Tours very well.

Great Tour - Not Too Strenuous, but Challenging and FUN!

Everything worked out well. I arranged my own transportation but was greeted warmly at the hotel by the tour guide when I arrived.

Great customer service and trip. The phone agents were very helpful and our

Everyone at CIE made the process simple and stress free from my 1st phone to them until we returned home from our trip.

Our guide Brian McDonnell was phenomenal and accommodating. The experience of our Irish Spirit tour was enhanced by his personality. The sites and history of Ireland will remain with us forever. Most of the hotels were first class, restaurants served wonderful food and our night at Taylor's 3 rock for Irish music and dancing was the perfect way to end our trip. Some sites scheduled were not open yet because of the pandemic, but we enjoyed all of the sites we visited. I'd do it again when things are so restricted .

It was all good but the fist guide was not helpful at all.

It was a well laid out tour and those in reservation did a good job.

Bus tour is the way to go!

The tour was wonderful. CIE had planned the trip and our tour guide John was wonderful. I would highly recommend this company for the professionalism. There is so much information that you acquire while riding to destination.

What they did well? Everything.

enjoyed scotland. our guide was Di. she was wonderful!!

wait times on the phone were usually very long. the staff i talked to were usually quite helpful.

The tour was good for a tour on the cheaper tier.

The guide was great and did the best he could during COVID restrictions. The small size of group was a plus.

Iceland with beautiful. the guides are great, very informative, tells a lot about the history of the island. accommodations were good. I love the whole experience.

Great tour

The tour guide and bus driver were exceptional. Sights were beautiful and people were very friendly and helpful. The menu became somewhat repetitive over 2 weeks. Good quality just the same thing too often.

Amazing adventure!

We had a great tour bus driver. John always had our daily schedule out for us to review our day. Our hotels were very clean and accommodating. The food provided on this trip was very good. All the sites we visited were amazing and interesting. John was very knowledgeable, great personality which made traveling from one city to the next exciting !
