- APhilip Lee Puckett· May 10th, 2023Tour director Phil and coach driver Lee were great. Site visits were good. Hotel accommodations in Cardiff (next to noisy bar) was about a 3 star hotel. Communication about pickup time from hotel on last morning was incorrect. Three other passengers also had issues regarding this issue. Either incorrect information or none at all.

- ADuane Gale Haywood· June 24th, 2023The tour as a whole was great. One thing we did not like was staying in a hotel that was not near the town and having to dine in hotel without a choice. Also we thought that we spent too much time in the coach and not enough time at the destination. Along the way to destinations the highways were not conducive to looking at things along the roadways. When we did Ireland with CIE we took back roads and this was much more enjoyable for sightseeing!Show moreTrip date: May 2023Review collected by CIE Tours
- ADouglas Gordon Stephenson· June 26th, 2023Everyting about the tour was excellent. The reason for 4 stars instead of 5 is that we never received our welcome back-pack with all the accessories of name tags, luggage tags, adaptors etc. which was part of the contracted tour price!! We asked the tour quide but he did not know why. And we filled in the evaluation form at the end of the tour and stated the same thing! When we will get what we paid for ??Show moreTrip date: May 2023Review collected by CIE Tours

Kylie
Asked on October 23rd, 2024Will there be a trip in March of 2025? Also, it seems like this trip packs a lot in each day and wondering if there is enough time. For example, the Baths and Stonehenge in one day? Also, in Liverpool I would want to do a Beatles tour and it doesn't seem there would be time for that. Finally, in Blenheim would there be an opportunity to learn about Winston Churchill?
- CIE ToursOperator•Written October 2024
The earliest departure we offer is Sun Mar 30, 2025 to Tue Apr 08 2025. This tour will be pretty busy with the itinerary but there will be free time to do excursions independently. For example, when in Liverpool, you want to do the Beatles tour you can opt out of an activity to book something you wish instead.
- S
Sylvie
Asked on October 16th, 2024Do the tours include international flights?
- CIE ToursOperator•Written October 2024
