    Fantastic from beginning to end, our Customer Service was first rate from Sue Collins who promptly called me back with any concern I had. Our driver and tour guide Peter was top notch while in Ireland. We loved all the hotels except the Ormond in Kilkenny, I felt it was lacking compared to all the others.

    The level of organization to synchronize all the variables in a tour of this type is excellent. All the features of the tour were interesting and a pleasure to experience. Our primary guide and coach driver was as good as can be hoped for, both for his commentary and his driving skills. There was a lot to keep up with and a pretty busy schedule involved, and handled quite well. We especially enjoyed the events when local story tellers and musicians performed and the sheep dog herding demonstration. A few minuses: Our room wasn't ready in our Kilkenny hotel even though we arrived a half hour past check in time. The dinners served at the hotels were very similar and while satisfactory to eat were not in any way particularly special. The audio system on the coach was less than ideal, with some static and noise in Peter's presentations. We're glad we chose to tour Ireland and happy we chose CIE to provide the tour for us.

      Simon

      TravelerWritten February 2025

      My husband can climb stairs with rails so can get on and off of coaches and his rollator does collapse. I more want to know whether the hotels are easy to navigate (e.g. elevators, stairs with rails). Are the 5/21 and 5/28 dates unavailable?

    • CIE ToursOperatorWritten February 2025

      Not all hotels have elevators, some may require some stairs or steps. We do list our hotels for the tour package if you would like to check directly with the hotel regarding this. 5/21 and 5/28 dates are available, but are regular sized departures of 44 people maximum.
