Irish Classic - 13 Days/12 Nights
Loved our tour Loved seeing the country and visiting all the towns we did!
Organized and Full of Fun! The tour guide Brian Rice was knowledgeable and fun! He went out of his way to make this trip enjoyable and memorable. We had stops all over Ireland and our "breaks" were always done at an establishment with entertainment, irish coffee's and shopping! All of Brian's tips in the cities we visited made us see more than we would have ever done on our own! This was our 2nd trip with CIE and I would use them again over and over!! Very organized trip with lots of fun extra's we were not expecting !!

Irish Odyssey - 12 Days/11 Nights
So glad we did 12 days!
The bus was comfortable, our driver Austin was amazing—skilled, friendly, informative, and very punctual; the sites for our many stops were well-chosen for beauty and interest. It’s difficult to criticize it in any way because we were able to see and experience so much. We were fortunate to have lovely weather nearly every day, and the tours of the various cities, places such as Waterford Crystal, castles, shorelines, parkland, and so much more were all fascinating and engaging. Perhaps the only drawback was a sense of constant activity with little downtime; however, knowing that there was even more that we were unable to see as it was, I wouldn’t have given up a single moment to stay in my hotel.

The Irish Pub Tour
Solo traveler who gained family
This was the best tour I could have ever asked for. The locations, hotels, and experiences were amazing. I learned so much between beer tasting, Irish coffees, and Irish whiskey tasting. It was a trip of a life time. I was a solo traveler and made family along the way. My tour group was amazing and we all now have a group text. Denis our guide and driver was amazing and super knowledgeable. He had great recommendations!

2024 Taste of Italy - 7 Days/6 Nights
A nice introduction to the country of Italy
As the name suggests - A Taste of Italy - gave the opportunity to experience several larger cities and to briefly visit two other towns. The hotels were modern and very nice. Transportation was provided to and from the airport and to anywhere else we needed. Our Tour Guide handled all logistics well and shared background information on the cities and more so on Italy, as a whole. Local guides toured us through Florence, the Vatican and the Colosseum. Breakfast was always included and provided at the hotels. We had half of our dinners with the tour group and were on our own for dinner three nights.
One activity which I wouldn't give top marks for was the visit to the leather store in Florence. Rather than being educational, it felt heavily like an opportunity to deliver tourist dollars to a specific business. Many in the group felt a hard sell vibe. I'd suggest that be replaced with something non-commerce oriented.
It would be helpful if there would be an opportunity to have a presentation or video that would educate the group more on some of the history, as the guide had a bit of an extemporaneous style.
We'd love to go back to Italy and explore some more of the rural areas next time!

Irish Classic - 13 Days/12 Nights
Would definitely recommend CIE- very well organized, knowledgeable, humorous tour director and a very skilled driver. The destinations really gave the traveler a sense of the history, culture and environment of Ireland. Very well done.

The Irish Pub Tour - 9 Days/8 Nights
The tour was carefully planned out to our liking. There was something to do every day and we enjoyed all of it. And our tour guide, Dennis, really knew his history and was an excellent driver. Some of the roads were very tricky!!! We heard that the story telling and music in Galway are going to be discontinued. That was really enjoyable for us!! We would like to know what will be the replacement. We will definitely recommend this tour!! We also enjoyed the Irish dancers and The Merry Ploughmen. It was the perfect end to the tour!!

2024 Irish Adventure - 8 Days/7 Nights
All of the details were well planned and carried out. Loved most of the itinerary. Wish we had spent less time in Galway and more in Belfast and Dublin.
The locations for our meals were always ready for us and the quality of the food was great.
Tour guide had a great sense of humor and a gentle way of reminding us of how we needed to be prepared and on time.

Northern Lights Quest of Iceland - 6 Days/5 Nights
Great experience
Our fantastic tour guide Maria went above and beyond to make sure our group had the best experience possible. She was constantly working to rearrange places and times to optimize out time together. My only complaint is the backpack they sent before departure had multiple zippers break before I got on the plane rendering it useless during the tour.

Northern Lights Quest of Iceland - 6 Days/5 Nights
Amazing journey!
The whole vacation was well planned and helped me see all the must see places. I didn't have to do anything but relax and enjoy myself. The tour took care of all the rest. Transportation, hotels, tours and sights. Also allowed lots of free time to explore on my own. Everything was so well organized and the guide was very informative and helpful.

Taste of Scotland & Ireland - 10 Days/9 Nights
Two out of three aspects of the trip were amazing. Accommodations / CIE Tour guides as well as what I saw were wonderful. In regards to the other people on the bus I was on the wrong tour. I signed up for a CIE Tour. This means I shou,d have met people throughout the country traveling via CIE. Somehow everyone else on the bus traveling together through Christian Tours. They were rude and unfriendly. Other travelers were asking me why I was there and when was I leaving. If Christian Tours books trips through you they need to be exclusive.
