- AColleen Fultz· July 3rd, 2023The 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.Show moreTrip date: May 2023Review collected by CIE Tours

Asked on February 5th, 2025We are two seniors, one of which has balance issues and uses a rollator. So we are looking for a small tour that includes an easy pace and accessible travel. Is this pub tour suitable for us?
- CIE ToursOperator•Written February 2025
Our coaches are not handicap accessible. You must be able to get on and off the coach unaided by CIE Tours staff and be able to rotate seats on the coach. If you need extra walking assistance, you may bring a rollator, wheelchair or walker, but it must be lightweight and fully collapsible and can be stowed in the luggage compartment. We have a few small group departures on the Irish Pub tour, 26 people max. These departures include the June 14th and Sept 17th start dates.

Simon
Traveler•Written February 2025My 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 ToursOperator•Written 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.
