- CSChrista· October 20th, 2024Completely depends on who you get as guide & driver. The Scotland portion of our trip was wonderful. The Ireland leg was just painful. Was stuck with a monotone guide that had half the bus asleep at any given time. Too much money to sleep through a trip.Show moreTrip date: September 2024
- MKMichael· May 24th, 2024We lucked out on the weather on our entire trip and had outstanding weather. Our tour guides were so informative and fun in both Scotland and Ireland. Even with the wrench of our guide getting injured during our trip, everything went smoothly for us and we had a very happy and fun vacation. We absolutely loved our guides and drivers who all went that extra mile that just makes a vacation so much more relaxing. Not once did we have to worry about our bags or any other details. We always knew when/where to be, and where we were going next. We learned so much about both countries and absolutely plan to go back with CIE next year. Thank you to Deirdre "D", Adrian, Tony and Marion! We hope to one day encounter you guys again!Show more
Trip date: May 2024 - JVJohn· April 13th, 2024We were very impressed with all aspects of this tour. The standard of the hotels was first class. The fact that we were not paying for extras including most of the dinners was a big plus. The Scottish tour guide was the best we have ever had and we have done a lot of tours.Show moreTrip date: March 2024

- AEvelyn Charmaine Hoit· June 14th, 2023The Scotland side of our tour was perfect. Fabulous Tour Guide and Driver. Food, hotels, tour in general were superb. Cannot say enough about this part of tour. Ireland was sadly lacking. Our tour guide seemed like he was not interested, the driver seemed irritated with the tour guide most of the time. The tours were lacking in substance, too much time on the freeway in the bus. (in Scotland we rarely traveled freeways, only smaller roads through the country) Issues with hotels that our tour guide said immediately "you know this is not my fault". We did not see some of the things we were told we would. After a few days of this most of us were ready to go home.Show moreTrip date: May 2023Review collected by CIE Tours

Jen
Asked on February 12th, 2024What level of hotels are they (how many stars). It looks like only one dinner is included. How about breakfast or any other meals, or beverage or food tastings included? How much deposit is required for a trip in July?
CIE ToursOperator•Written February 2024There are 14 Breakfasts and 9 Dinners included. The deposit would be $250 per person for all tour dates. Here are all of the tour hotels they are 3- and 4-star properties.

Asked on January 25th, 2024What is the main difference between these two tours? Are the availability days accurate? What is the best price I can get i.e. usually I get 5% and then something from the door operator so can you negotiate a good deal for me?
- CIE ToursOperator•Written January 2024
I would recommend the Scottish & Irish Gold - 15 Days/14 Nights. Not only is it a bit longer, but it is at a bit of a slower pace and not so rushed. Both would be amazing small group tours. I would not be able to provide a 5% discount. However, you do have USD $414.52 worth of Travel Credits that I can add as a discount for you.

Christopher
Asked on November 6th, 2023My mother has a difficult time walking distances. She has her own mobility scooter. Can she bring her scooter with her and will she be able to use it throughout the tour?
- CIE ToursOperator•Written November 2023
You most certainly can bring a wheelchair, collapsable scooter, or walker. However, wheelchairs/scooters must be lightweight and fully collapsible. They must also travel with a companion who can push the wheelchair, and you must be able to climb on and off the coach on your own.
- A
Adam
Asked on August 18th, 2023Can a scooter do this trip?
- CIE ToursOperator•Written August 2023
You would not be able to bring a motorized scooter however you can bring a wheelchair or a walker. Wheelchairs must be lightweight and fully collapsible. You must also travel with a companion who can push the wheelchair, and you must be able to climb on and off the coach on your own.
