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.

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.

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.
