4.6/5

Excellent tour. Well worth the money.

The tour was well organized and informative. Our tour guide, Martin, was knowledgeable and entertaining and Desmond our driver was an a amazing driver. Unfortunately we weren't able to go to the Isle of Skye due to weather but our guide took us on a scenic tour to our next destination, which in my opinion made up for it. Our tour guide even took the time to give us a informative class on the origins of Scotch Whiskey, which was greatly appreciated by many of us on the tour. The hotel accommodations were top notch and the service was great. I chose CIE due to the the online ratings and I have recommended them to friends and family. I will defiantly book with CIE again.

Had the best time with Brian Rice, who went above and beyond to make sure we had a great trip. He was always so informative, funny, organized, and timely. He made the trip special and overall an amazing experience.

comprehensive and knowledgeable guides

You get to experience a lot in a short amount of time.

The hotels were a hit & miss.

Great!

Great trip, tour guide, and driver. Trip was wonderful.

Booking staff Ian, Laura & all were patient & informative. Super nice!

Excellent tour. Hotels for the most part were top notch. Thought the hauling of luggage would be an issue, but never was. Places visited was top notch as well, but what made this trip extra special, was our tour guide Colin McMahon. His love of his country, his dedication to his job, his sense of humor, knowledge and his professionalism and his treatment of all of us on the tour was extra special. And what a great guy. He is a credit to your company. He made a once in a lifetime vacation, so extra special.

Wonderful trip Start to Finish

The people at CIE helped get us started and made the trip possible. Any time I called in they did all they could to help get my questions answered.

Russia is a must see

Very accommodating with obtaining the letter needed to apply for our Visa and working with us on our flight arrangements.

Excellent in every way. John & Linda made Scotland come alive.

The booking service was easy and clear cut.

The land of Milk and Honey!

We had a wonderful visit, we also would have liked to have stayed longer in a few Places.

Excellent service

Gold Tour Review

The tour was well planned. Tour guide and bus driver were friendly and helpful. The destination spots were excellent. Meals were mostly good. It was very fast paced. My family would have like a bit more 'down' time. We changed hotels rapidly and by day 6 it grew tiresome.

Great service

It was excellent, the person I spoke with on the phone took care of my booking efficiently and she answered my questions.

Wonderful trip!!!

Wonderful trip! Hotels were exceptional. Our guide/ driver was fun and knowledgeable. Overall a great trip.

The week after we booked the trip the price dropped and extra things were given.

Fantastic Tour

Our guides and driver were fantastic. The hotels, meals, and entertainment were all outstanding. No complaints! I could not have asked for a better tour and highly recommend it to others.

Brian was a wonderful guide and Lee a skilled driver. The hotels were awesome - not a single complaint. We enjoyed all the sights we visited. I can’t wait to do another CIE tour!

The tour guide (Onya) and director (Harry) were exceptional. They were funny, knowledgeable, passionate and caring. The tour was busy, the hotels very good and the food also very good. I was very pleasantly surprised by all of the activities and the fact that extra costs were not needed.
