    Our overall experience was very positive and our guide Brendan was wonderful. The stops on the tour were as advertised, well run on time and covered a large amount of a country we'd never visited before. Our only not as positive experience would be with the Granville Hotel in Waterford. The food was not very good, the elevator was exceedingly tiny that you could barely have 2 people with suitcases in it, and the bathroom faucets are off the age that they're are separate spigots for hot and cold making it difficult to regulate temperatures as they were also not close enough to mix the water streams in the sink.

    We did the Irish Gold tour (with extra day in Dublin) and thoroughly enjoyed it. Good pace, some free time, plus food provided as part of the tour was very good too. Our tour guide Marion Kelly was excellent, along with our driver Martin Dempsey!

    The trip was well organized and we saw so much with ease. Everything was planned well and we enjoyed every stop we made. We had 8 of us that traveled together and we all loved the experience.

    This was our first guided tour. My wife and I usually plan our trips, and travel on our own. I wasn't sure how I would like this. I must say CIE surpassed all my expectations. Our tour guide Marlene went above and beyond to make everything work flawlessly. Our driver Martin was very professional and friendly. I would not hesitate to recommend CIE to anyone traveling to Ireland. And would definitely consider touring with CIE again.

    Our CIE Tour was incredible. Our tour director, Tommy =, was the best. He gave great information and insight all along the way. Our driver, Martin, maneuvered the roads as a real pro. The tour was a great mix of beautiful landscapes and sites along with great times in pubs with great Irish music. A memorable trip of a lifetime! Our favorite!

    CIE coach guided tour as well as getting off at different sites, such as Blarney Castle, The Cliffs of Mohr, to the Ring of Kerry, to watch the sheep dog trials, various restaurants, bars with singing and dancing. The hotels were top notch, the food spectacular. Our guide Joe was full of knowledge and our bus driver Donald was above and beyond. I got sick and he went to the pharmacy and brought me some meds. I would highly recommend this trip and CIE. We went on a ferry ride as well as a catamaran ride.
