Luxury UK And Great Britain Tours & Trips Reviews
We 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!

- England & Wales Classic
Great experience with super guide in Julia who enhanced our trip.
- Best of Ireland
The tour was fabulous and both our tour director Greg and driver Darius were so friendly and professional throughout. The itinerary fitted in a lot of highlights of Ireland, something we don’t think we could’ve done to the same extent had we driven ourselves. The organisation was great and loved the way timings were strict and early so we could largely avoid crowds from cruise ships etc. Excellent!
