Memorable Trip, Fantastic Guides!
CIE made booking this tour effortless. Our tour guide, Linda, was the absolute best, as was our driver Brendan. We loved that breakfasts and dinners were included. All of the excursions, castles, and shopping was fun and interesting. Linda and Brendan interacted a lot with us and the other guests and brought a lot of humor we all appreciated to the trip. I would definitely book another trip with CIE. Everything is organized and explained thoroughly, especially once the trip has begun.

2024 Scottish Dream - 8 Days/7 Nights
The price you pay for everything including cannot be matched! We saw so much, went so many places, and every dinner was a literal three course meal! If I had one drawback, it's that there isn't a lot of leisure time and I often thought that there was never enough time at the Castles.

Great for families with adult children!
Loved this trip and exploring the Scottish highlands. I wish there was more time in the Isle of Skye, but otherwise this was a fantastic tour.
