Scottish Dream - 9 Days/8 Nights
Great trip to Scotland
We are just back from our CIE tour and we couldn’t be happier with our experience. Our guide, Graham Bruce, was wonderful. He taught us so much about Scottish history and culture. He also was very personable and funny. Our driver Dennis was great at navigating the narrow roads and was always ready with a hand getting off the bus. The accommodations at the various hotels exceeded our expectations.
Wonderful experience in Scotland. The Highlands,; the castles; the shepherd and his dogs herding the sheep; and the vast green pastures were highlights for us. We were also struck by the clean fresh air and the refreshing water everywhere we went.

Irish Spirit- 8 Days/7 Nights
First time overseas!
Our accommodations were 5 stars. Our tour guide, very knowledgeable and treated us like we had known each other for years. Just not tourists. He gave us a lot of optional ideas of what to see and do in our spare time. Our meals were exceptional and shows phenomenal. Only drawback was, our last meal and show was a bit of a distance from our hotel.

Irish Spirit - 9 Days/8 Nights
The trip with my family was amazing. Emmet our bus driver and tour guide made the trip so much fun. The only compliant is just wish we had a little more time to explore on our own the different towns and city but I understand we were in a time crunch to get everything in on the itinerary. Highly recommend this group and will use it again when we want to rebook another trip.

Scottish Isles & Glens - 13 Days/12 Nights
Fun, fantastic trip! Beautiful scenery and so much history!!
CIE did all the planning of stops, etc. It was nice being able to relax and go with the flow and not have to be constantly thinking about what was happening next. I do believe they could give more notice of things so you could be better prepared for what was coming (i.e., 2 1/2 hour ferry ride one way - need to have motion sickness meds, etc.). Our Tour Guide, Matt, was fabulous! Such a great speaking voice and the amount of Scottish history he knows was phenomenal! Made the trip so much better and fun to learn! The people we encountered were all about making our trip all it could be. The hotels may not have been as modern as we were used to, but they had character and charm. Walk-in showers would be preferred, especially for aging adults. The meals were tasty and plentiful, especially the breakfasts. Desserts were fabulous!

Taste of Italy with Sorrento - 10 Days/9 Nights
Our guide was well informed , extremely helpful and very , very kind. However , I was disappointed in the quality of our hotel rooms. The rooms were clean and all, but me and my wife noticed that other people had big rooms with balconies and living rooms. We had a small closet for all of our rooms way in the back.

Highlights of Britain - 13 Days/12 Nights
The itinerary was very comprehensive and I feel that I saw a good deal of the country. Great tour guide and driver! Hotels could have been a little nicer. Maybe 2 had some character, the others were a bit run-of-the-mill.

Best of Britain - 9 Days/8 Nights
A Fantastic Tour By a Wonderful Company
We purchased our tour through our travel agent at AAA, and it was a painless transaction. Our travel brochure did a good job of telling us what to expect and how to plan for the tour. We appreciated the backpacks and water bottles that were included.

Irish Legends - 9 Days/8 Nights
Highly Recommend this Tour
Highly recommend this tour. It provides a deep overview of the history of Ireland from the first residents of the island through the present day. The visits to select sites reinforces the most important aspects of Ireland's history.

Irish Supreme - 9 Days/8 Nights
The experience was fabulous.. First rate hotels, amazing activities!
Everything was excellent. Mark was a wonderful tour director. The hotels were the very best. Our activities were great and we made some lovely friends along the way. The only recommendation I have would be to give us at least 2 hotel nights with fewer (or no) one night stays to enjoy our hotels a little more. We covered a lot of ground but I wouldn’t mind a slower pace for me to explore each location a little more. Still … I thoroughly enjoyed myself. I would recommend this tour to everyone. In fact, CIE should have a Supreme version for all of their locations. This was our second CIE tour and by far the best. Well worth the money.

Taste of Britain & Ireland - 14 Days/13 Nights
The tour itself was excellent however there was 1 hotel that was too small, not so clean. It was also too far away from Edinburgh. The narratives from the tour directors were very informative. The daily scheduling of the tour events and travel were excellent. The coach driver had remarkable driving skills.

Ireland South Daytripper - 8 Days/7 Nights
Wonderful first experience of Ireland and the culture.
Our driver Seamus was excellent. He was a skilled driver, full of information and very professional, yet a very caring man!. If only the day could have started one hour later…9 oc’clock instead of 8

Ireland Walking & Hiking: The Northern Coast - 9 Days/8 Nights
See the authentic Ireland
Loved the itinerary. I felt the variety of hikes was great. No 2 alike. The tour directors were phenomenal. They knew and could explain all the local color, customs, history involving the areas we visited. Some of the accommodations left room for improvement. Otherwise loved everything.

Taste of Scotland & Ireland - 11 Days/10 Nights
Highly recommend Scotland and Ireland
I loved everything. It was exhausting, but wonderful. We got to see much more than we would have if it was done on our own. We also would have missed out on the history of both countries. Karl was an absolutely wonderful driver/ guide. He was very helpful and knowledgeable. Betty was also great for the Scotland portion. Loved all the sites and history they both shared. The sites were amazing!

Best of Ireland South (Tour A) - 8 Days/7 Nights
Trip of a lifetime!!
The Teeling Distillery was a great start. We had a smaller group and this was a perfect opportunity to get to know one another during the tasting. We had a group of only 12 and it felt like such a personal experience.
Everything we saw was beautiful. The castles were amazing, the Jaunting horse ride was beautiful. We had a ball at the Taylor’s Three Rock. Loved the sheep dog demo. Quill’s farmhouse was one of our favorite experiences. Of course the Cliffs were amazing, the shopping was great. Galway was lovely and I loved the beautiful countryside on our ride to and through the Dingle Peninsula. We also found the Irish Stud Farm facinating and the gardens were beautiful.
It was an absolutely amazing experience. It surpassed our expectations. Every detail was thought out. Every meal-delicious! Our bus was very clean and comfortable. We couldn’t have had a better tour guide or group! Patrick was funny, full of historical information. He explained things very well. He made sure we together and on time. He made it seem easy navigating those crazy roads. I’m looking forward to planning another trip.
