- CSChrista· October 20th, 2024Completely depends on who you get as guide & driver. The Scotland portion of our trip was wonderful. The Ireland leg was just painful. Was stuck with a monotone guide that had half the bus asleep at any given time. Too much money to sleep through a trip.Show moreTrip date: September 2024
- MKMichael· May 24th, 2024We lucked out on the weather on our entire trip and had outstanding weather. Our tour guides were so informative and fun in both Scotland and Ireland. Even with the wrench of our guide getting injured during our trip, everything went smoothly for us and we had a very happy and fun vacation. We absolutely loved our guides and drivers who all went that extra mile that just makes a vacation so much more relaxing. Not once did we have to worry about our bags or any other details. We always knew when/where to be, and where we were going next. We learned so much about both countries and absolutely plan to go back with CIE next year. Thank you to Deirdre "D", Adrian, Tony and Marion! We hope to one day encounter you guys again!Show more
Trip date: May 2024 - JVJohn· April 13th, 2024We were very impressed with all aspects of this tour. The standard of the hotels was first class. The fact that we were not paying for extras including most of the dinners was a big plus. The Scottish tour guide was the best we have ever had and we have done a lot of tours.Show moreTrip date: March 2024

- AEvelyn Charmaine Hoit· June 14th, 2023The Scotland side of our tour was perfect. Fabulous Tour Guide and Driver. Food, hotels, tour in general were superb. Cannot say enough about this part of tour. Ireland was sadly lacking. Our tour guide seemed like he was not interested, the driver seemed irritated with the tour guide most of the time. The tours were lacking in substance, too much time on the freeway in the bus. (in Scotland we rarely traveled freeways, only smaller roads through the country) Issues with hotels that our tour guide said immediately "you know this is not my fault". We did not see some of the things we were told we would. After a few days of this most of us were ready to go home.Show moreTrip date: May 2023Review collected by CIE Tours
