- Jenna· August 5th, 2025This was a great tour! Our guide, Marlene, was incredibly knowledgeable about all of the places we visited and had an incredible grasp on the history of Ireland. She went out of her way to make sure that everyone had a fantastic trip. We also had nice group dynamics. I was surprised at how many places we were able to visit.Show moreTrip date: July 2025
- 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. Our tour guide Marion Kelly was excellent, along with our driver Martin Dempsey!Show moreTrip date: May 2023Review collected by CIE Tours

- 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

A memorable trip of a lifetime! Our favorite!Show moreTrip date: June 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.
