CIE Tours Reviews

The small group tour was terrific. The driver/guide was very knowledgeable, a great driver. I dont believe he could have been better. 

Irish Pub tour was the best CIE tour so far, my third.  Lots of different experiences - very enjoyable.

Airport transfers were terrible. Everyone in our tour that used your airport transfers had trouble. It was expensive to book through you and was absolutely the worse service ever! If you actually share this with prospective travelers, they should be aware, it wasn’t just me but everyone in our group!

One of the places we stayed, an old castle like hotel was not good.  They had french doors that were not placed in a good location and my husband hit his head on them. Also, it wasn't very clean. The other places were fine and the CIE bus operator and tour guide were excellent. 

Diana was the best tour guide we could ever hope for. She was incredibly knowledgeable and kind. I will not forget it.

The Scottish Isle and Glens tour with CIE was great. We would have liked to visit a few more islands but the schedule was quite packed. There were a number of places that had difficult walking and a woman in our group tried to attend them but had to sit out a lot. I would recommend that CIE rates their tour for activity level and walking/hiking ease (cobblestone streets, hike up rather large hills etc.) Athletic or in-shape people had no trouble, though. Lots of memories were made.

Absolutely an excellent experience! Could not have had any more knowledgable, helpful, polite and kind tour guides. They were the best! This was the best value of any trip I've taken and this is the tour I will recommend to family and friends. Actually I already have, it was that good!

CIE tours provides a Great tour experience.

CIE Tours is a top notch operation. Everything about our tour was meticulously planned and executed. No need to look elsewhere.

CIE has the best hotels and include so many activities

We had a wonderful trip. We were very pleased with the itinerary and the quality of hotels provided through CIE. We would recommend CIE again.

Everything exceeded expectations. I couldn't be happier with our CIE tour.

We had a lovely tour throughout Ireland. The service and accommodation exceeded my expectations! We were fortunate to have good weather. Ireland is very beautiful and the people are gracious to all tourist!

CIE is a solid company who provide friendly, strong tours. Affordable Tours was a excellent company to book through. Having both companies working together to support us outside the tour then during the tour was helpful. We had a very bad situation happen at one of the hotels when the hotel baggage people misplaced our luggage into an empty room thus we did not get our luggage. The CIE director had the hotel staff search every room until the misplaced luggage was found. This piece of luggage had all my wife's clothes and very valuable things locked in it. If not for the tour director this in issue could have been quite miserable for us. The hotel was not taking us seriously until she stepped in and resolved the problem. She was a strong tour director which helped the tour run smoothly.

Good starter tour for someone new to the UK. Use of a Hop on Off in London let's people see more of what interests them. Dinner at the hotel in Bath was excellent.

The trip was wonderful. This is our second CIE tour and totally enjoyed both and highly recommend.

Fantastic trip, more than I was expecting.

We greatly enjoyed this tour. The itinerary covered a lot of fabulous places to see, the accommodations were excellent, and the tour guide/coach driver was very entertaining and informative. We will definitely consider CIE and Affordable Tours in booking our next vacation. Thanks!

I expected more hands on guidance in the choice of pubs, more going as a group. However I liked very much our driver/guide, Matt Nolan. His manner was very pleasant, his introductions to the areas we visited and history talks were just enough, and he was skilled driver on the narrow roads. Time on the bus was calm and quiet which seemed to suit us. He managed all the travel details professionally.

Great tour, Highly recommended!

Wonderful experience, we are looking forward to booking another tour.

Exceeded my expectations. Wonderful accommodations, very interactive experience with the tour stops.

Price very reasonable. Nice accommodations. Great tours and good amount of free time.

It was a great experience from beginning to end.

I would highly recommend CIE Tours. The tour, accommodations and food were excellent. Our driver, David, was the best!

2nd trip with CIE. both were up to expectations. good drivers and guides. good selection of places to tour.

This was a great tour with lots of included activities. CIE was very accommodating and helpful.

CIE is a very solid tour company. This was our third trip with CIE and we have toured with five other companies, all well known. CIE is not the cheapest, but the quality is excellent and there are no optional excursions. Everything is included in the price. This means they stick to popular tour options. Optional excursions offer the chance to customize the tour or to opt out of some selections. There were no CIE scheduled attractions that we would have left out. Service and organization were very sound as always.

Our driver/ guide, Murt, made the whole experience very enjoyable. He had a great sense of humor, provided interesting stories & historical events and gave us the best amount of time each day to see all the events on our schedule.

CIE was great. Tour Director was wonderful.

Our tour director, Gary, was very professional, knowledgeable and very helpful. The itinerary was excellent and thoroughly enjoyable.

Amazing value and excellent accommodations consistent with daily tour itinerary following theme of tour.

Excellent in every way! Accommodations were beyond expectations! 5 stars...Amazing!

This was my second tour with CIE. The drivers were wonderful. Frank was our main driver, and Michael, who provided us service one day, was equally as courteous and informative. Every hotel we stayed at was accommodating, clean and comfortable. A+

This is our second trip with CIE and we had a great experience again.

Frank was an awesome driver/guide and great person all around. The hotels and provided meals were top notch. Second tour with CIE. Would definitely take another!

This is a terrific trip. I highly recommend it.

CIE experience along with tour guide was in our opinion could not be improved upon!

This tour was everything that I had hoped it would be and more! The guides were fabulous, the accommodations for the most part were wonderful and the scenery was unforgettable. I went with my daughter for this trip - now I want to go back with my husband!! Thanks for an amazing and unforgettable trip!

Richard, you have provided another WONDERFUL trip for us. Everything went well without any glitches. Your extra effort in finding affordable air travel was appreciated. Affordable Tours and especially Richard are great providers of vacations/holidays. We will continue using you and will share our satisfaction with your high level of service with others. Thank you!

First trip I've been on when everything was exactly as promised. We were treated way above average at most hotels. First class service.

We loved this tour. Everything was amazing. Tour guide and bus driver were fantastic. Highly recommend. All stops inbetween stops were also Fantastic. Can't say enough.

Enjoyed the CIE tour very much. The director was great!

Wonderful trip . Nice hotels and activities. Tour operators were very professional.

CIE did a good job and our tour guide (and driver) were extremely personable and handled everything very well.

This was my second tour with CIE and I was not disappointed. I will certainly book my next tour with them!!

Professional and just did an all around fantastic job!!

This tour was OUTSTANDING! The guides were knowledgeable, very pleasant, helpful and fun. The itinerary was perfect for us. The accommodations were beautiful and interesting. The bus was comfortable. We would definitely recommend this tour to all.

The tour was superb. I really appreciated the 'all inclusiveness' of it, i.e. the price you pay covers almost everything so there are no surprises as to the cost.

CIE was top notch and our Driver and guides went above and beyond. Very pleased with the whole experience.
