Worth every penny!
The tours are great. It’s a fun mix of guided & self. Our driver Michael was energetic, educational, and provided clear directions.

Scottish Daytripper - 6 Days/ 5 Nights
Loved the Scottish Daytripper!! CIE is very professional and thorough.
I loved everything about this tour. We got to see a lot, but weren’t exhausted in doing so. The usual morning departure was around 8:30, only had one day we had to leave at 7:30. And we were back on time for dinner time.
The Grovesnor hotel is beautiful, clean, and in a great location. We walked to the botanical gardens, numerous restaurants and bars. We had a bank and a very nice grocery store right across the street.
Our tour guide was very professional and knowledgeable. The communication before the tour was excellent. I received a welcome packet with copies of the itinerary, all the phone numbers for emergencies, hotel confirmation info and taxi info. We also received our name tags, which I was happy to see. CIE is very professional and thorough.
There wasn’t anything that I didn’t like about this tour. Highly recommend. I would definitely do a daytripper tour again. Such a nice break from tours where you change hotels every other night, and have very early mornings and late evenings.

Southern Gems - 7 Days/6 Nights
Thrill of a lifetime!
Overall, just amazing.. to say our tour guides were any less than amazing is not enough. From the very first moment, they were fully committed to us having the best possible time we could.. I was actually stunned at the accommodations. I don’t know why, I had a mental image of being stuffed into small, quaint, old hotels. The accommodations we had we’re beautiful, the staff were amazing, the food was amazing, some of the best I’ve had while traveling in my life..

Great trip
This was a second trip with CIE tours I would totally recommend them. Took the Irish legend trip two years ago and then the Scotland just this April. Great tour group. Great excursions and great bus, drivers and tour guide guides.

Ireland South Daytripper - 7 Days/6 Nights
Fabulous trip!
Beautiful countryside, lovely villages, friendly, welcoming people. Helpful, knowledgeable tour guide (Seamus). Loved the daytrip part - no packing up & moving town to town. Everything was perfect. Highly recommend. Well organized. Comfortable bus. Saw so much. All with free time built in. Food was very good.

Highlights of Britain - 13 Days/12 Nights
The guide was excellent, included meals were very good.
Enjoyed the sites we visited, loved Jamaica Inn visit. Just reread the book. The motor couch was clean and comfortable. Enjoyed Abbotsford House, Castle Howard and Castle Conway. Great new display of the Crown Jewels at the Tower of London. Had the best group of people on tour that we have had in a long time. In all it was a good tour. Other than two hotels, the rest were a little disappointing. What sightseeing we had was good, however too much time was spent dropping us in town for lunch and leaving us for to much extended time to just walk around. Four and a half hours in Edinburgh was far too long. Some other tour options needed to fill the time. Shopping in stores we can shop in in at home is a waste of time. We did have an excellent tour manager and included meals were great, better than expected.

Classic Sicily - 8 Days/7 Nights
It was even better than I expected. It was a great trip!
The tour covered a lot of territory. I loved it. Our Tour Guide, Romina, was phenomenal. Her wealth of knowledge and experience was great! As for the transportation, there needs to be at least a 2-hour layover between flights to accommodate delays leaving one airport and arriving at the next airport. We had a 1-hour layover from Palermo to Rome that was eaten up with a delay in leaving Palermo and the wait time at the gate in Rome. We almost missed our flight from Rome to JFK.

Best of Spain - 9 Days/8 Nights
Fast-paced tour with many highlights!
This is my third tour with CIE and they continue to do a good job with crafting fun tours packed with activities. Every place we went to was fantastic and beautiful in its on way. The tour guides, tour director, and bus driver were all really nice and helpful throughout the trip. My only criticism is that having so much to do and travel to leaves very little free time to relax or really enjoy much of what you visit. Also please be aware you need to be well enough to do a lot of walking including walking uphill on uneven pavement for long distances.

We had an excellent time on our trip. It was very organized, the hotels were very nice and we got to see a lot in a short period of time. Guide was friendly and informative. He knew a lot of details about the places we visited and had excellent ideas for our free time.

Worth the time and the expense
CIE's service was outstanding both before and during the tour. This was my fourth CIE tour, and it didn't disappoint. CIE coordinated the trip perfectly. Our tour guide, Linda, and driver, Bryan, were amazing.
