- LFLaura· July 8th, 2024Our 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.Show moreTrip date: June 2024
- ALinda Tursi· June 7th, 2023We 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.

- ARichard Edward Hayes· July 10th, 2023This 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.Show moreTrip date: June 2023Review collected by CIE Tours

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.Show moreTrip date: September 2023Review collected by CIE Tours

Asked on March 17th, 2023Are you able to arrange pre-accommodation for the traveler in Belfast? They will arrive in Belfast on 16th June 2023 and need accommodation before the tour starts on the 20th of June in Dublin.
- CIE ToursOperator•Written March 2023
We are only able to add pre and post nights at the same hotel as the tour begins and ends. We wouldn't be able to add pre nights in Belfast so those would need to be booked independently but we can add post nights at the hotel in Dublin.
