    Some days were to long on the road. Meals were almost all the same every day. But overall we seen a lot of interesting things. The tour guides were great.

    · October 13th, 2024
    We felt we learned a lot from the tour and the tour director/drivers were all great. The hotels for the most part were nice. We did feel, however that the days were extremely long on the bus. We were exhausted from getting our bags out by 7 a.m. and not finishing dinner most nights until 8 or 9 p.m. This left us with no free time or very little. The hotels were so remote that getting to a town to explore on our own was impossible. We would definitely not consider another so called "vacation" under these circumstances again.

    The tour guide Becky was awesome, very knowledgeable and answered all our questions. The driver and second guide, Colm was awesome also, very personable, knowledgeable and made the trip fun. The overnight accommodation were excellent and the meals were location sensitive giving us a flavor of the countries.

    I would recommend CIE to others and would use them again. We saw places we would never even known were there if we hadn't done the tour. Our tour guide, Colm, was great. He was a barrel full of information, friendly, very funny, and made sure everything was perfect each day both the places we went and at our hotels. The hotels were extremely nice and the meals that were included were very good. The itinerary covered all the major things we wanted to see plus some more remote places that we would have never known about. We did the 15 day tour and I would highly recommend that versus the 11 day if you can. Quite a few did the 11 day and were wishing they had done the 15.
