Irish Odyssey - 12 Days/11 Nights
Irish Odyssey - 12 Days/11 Nights-Active and Interesting!
This was a very active tour visiting many places of interest. Our group of 39 was fun to travel with. The hotels provided by CIE were on the better side compared to some other tour operators I've traveled with. I was a little disappointed that although our coach driver, Eaman, was very nice, we did not have a dedicated tour guide. Our last night was spent at Cabra Castle Hotel (amazing staff) but since our driver had to report for another tour, he didn't join us for our farewell dinner (disappointing, and, I thought, unusual) nor did he spend the night, so when a small problem arose for me in the morning, Eaman couldn't be reached. Luckily the hotel staff stepped up to the plate.

Scottish Isles & Glens - 13 Days/12 Nights
Scottish Isles & Glens - 13 Days/12 Nights-Wonderful itinerary with a fantastic tour guide and driver1
We absolutely enjoyed this itinerary as it covered the majority of places we wanted to visit in Scotland. Thanks very much to our tour guide Ian and driver Rob for the added stops at Culloden and Falkirk (Kelpies). We would highly recommend this trip to all who would love 2 weeks in Scotland (and who wouldn't?).

Taste of Italy - 7 Days/6 Nights
Our guide was very knowledgeable regarding history, art and culture. The only drawback was the speed of the tour, which did not allow much time to admire the artwork and the architecture.

English Odyssey - 14 Days/13 Nights
Highly Recommend English Odyssey!
Excellent tour! Must do!!! The tour was excellent! We thoroughly enjoyed both Ian and Danny! We were a great group and really met some fun people.
Although the tour was amazing, there are a few changes I would suggest. The dining experience at Queen's Gate could have been better organized. We were moved from a private room to the edge of the bar, and unfortunately the food was cold. Oxford Belfry was also far away from the town center as well as the airport for those departing. There was a Hilton right in the heart of the city center, so I would suggest reconsidering both of these hotels in the future.
Another point worth mentioning, Ian Short, our amazing tour director, was advised that starting in 2025 Birling Gap Cliffs would be closed to coaches, which would truly be a shame. This was one of the highlights of the tour. Ian suggested having CIE get in touch with the tourism board to challenge this change.

Irish Adventure - 9 Days/8 Nights
We saw a lot during our tour, traveling over 1,000 miles. This was my first experience on a tour, we had rented a car the last time we were in Ireland in 2005. The tour guide/driver has the "gift of gab" is perfect for the job. He gave us a lot of Irish history.

Best of Britain - 10 Days/9 Nights
Best of Britain - 10 Days/9 Nights-More bus time than anticipated.
Overall I really enjoyed the tour. We did have a lot of ground to cover so I do understand all the bus time. I think next time, I'd pick a tour with more than one night in a city. I felt like We didn't have enough time in each city. This was a sampler tour so now we know what to come back and do another time.

Tuscan Treasures with Cinque Terre - 8 Days/7 Nights
Tuscan Treasures with Cinque Terre - 8 Days/7 Nights- An Amazing Tuscan Treasures with Cinque Terre Adventure
Hotel transfers and accommodations were excellent. The hotel location allowed for interesting independent exploration of the local area. The tour guide Mossimo was responsive to any group needs and very knowledgeable of all itinerary destinations and the local culture. His commentary was the right balance of historical information and group tour logistics. The bus was clean, comfortable with a very contentious driver Enzo who would take the scenic route whenever possible through the Tuscan countryside..
