Scottish & Irish Dream - 14 Days/13 Nights-Fantastic! Truly a trip of a lifetime!!!!
Di and Hugh our guide and bus driver for our Scottish week did an excellent job taking care of the group. Both were engaging, friendly, and took such care of all our requests. Di's knowledge of Scotland's history was very, very thorough, interesting and fun. Give her five gold stars! Give Hugh five gold stars for maneuvering that tour bus so professionally through the small villages with tight, narrow roads we visited.
The Ireland week was very good, but I would have preferred a separate guide along with the bus driver. Our bus driver, (can't remember his name right now), was very knowledgeable, but distracted and focused on his driving, so his voice would trail off making it difficult to hear his stories and history of Ireland. I would have also liked to have more stops during the Ireland week. We seemed to spend more time on the bus between stops than we did during our Scotland week. Would have liked to stop at more castles and points of interest; i.e., Lochs, historical villages, battlefields, castles, etc.
The hotels we stayed were phenomenal. Very, very impressive and all visitors were treated very well.
Overall....I was very, very, very happy with the trip and itinerary. A true trip of a lifetime and so many wonderful and fond memories.

The Irish Pub Tour - 9 Days/8 Nights-AMAZING!!
Very well organized. Felt like a VIP EVERYWHERE we went. Bus driver, Dennis O'Sullivan was INCREDIBLE!!! Dennis was so knowledgeable and always kept us informed of where we were going and what we needed. Couldn't imagine the trip being any better.

Irish Odyssey - 12 Days/11 Nights
Thoroughly enjoyed our tour with expert guide and driver Eammon.
Wish we had received our pre tour backpacks with adapters, water bottles and rain ponchos prior to our departure. Finally received them once we were back.

Everything was great. I was very nervous as a first time solo traveler. Everything that CIE had control over was perfect.

Christie Knox
Taste of Italy with Sorrento - 10 Days/9 Nights
This was my first CIE tour. Its felt very well organized.. loved getting to see all the wonderful sights of Italy. There were so many meals and special excursions that were included. We did not have to stress about purchasing ‘extras’. Even being on the bus was much better than I anticipated. We had plenty of comfort stops for bathrooms and snacks and between cities where we stayed overnight we had terrific planned stops for short tours/ free time. So it did not feel like we spent a lot of time on the bus. It was definitely an active tour (lots of walking), but it was not a problem for us (I went with my 80 year old mom,- whose in great shape-my 18 year old son and 19 year old niece.
But what really exceeded our expectations was our Tour Director Romina. She was so engaging, knowledgeable, fun, well organized. She just helped make this trip so interesting and fun- even for the teenagers!

Scots Irish Tour - 15 Days/14 Nights-A wonderful way to visit Scotland and Ireland
The driver and the guides were excellent, Which made it fun and very informative. I especially loved visiting the castles and the grounds. The service was wonderful. We didn’t have to worry about our luggage or getting our own tickets to see things that was all handled. We just had to sit back and enjoy.

Best of Britain - 10 Days/9 Nights-Best guide on our trip
The guide was so good. The bus could use a satellite based internet service. The cellular based system was very unreliable.
