Are there 2 tours - one for 7 days and one for 8? and what is the difference? How many on tour? Does bus have wifi? and how big is bus How strenuous? as it looks light to medium is that correct? - I can walk/take luggage/get in out of bus but use a cane

Irish Adventure is offered in an 8 or 9 day duration. It is the same tour. The 9 day duration offers an extra independent day in Dublin at the end. It is a standard size motorcoach with Wi-Fi. Some days involve three to four hours of walking and extended periods of standing. Due to driving regulations in certain historic cities, drop-off and pick-up points are set, necessitating additional walking to and from attractions. We recommend packing comfortable shoes with non-slip soles.

I would like a price (group tour for my husband and me). We would be requesting accommodation at the same hotel the night prior to departure of the tour and the night at the end of the tour.

Irish Adventure is offered in an 8 or 9 day duration. Passengers would need to be booked on the Irish Adventure 9 day tour in order to add additional post nights. 2026 - 9 Day Irish Adventure is sold out for April 29 - May 7 2026. We can offer: Mon Apr 27, 2026 Tue May 05 2026 US$3195 per person or Fri May 01 2026 Sat May 09 2026 US$3395 per person.

I wanted to know if you help book airport transfers. I wanted to make arrangements for flying back out to the United States on February 19th when the tour ends. The itinerary says the tour ends after breakfast. I just wanted to know the best time to arrange an airport transfer from the hotel immediately. I wanted to book flights and that all depends on how long it would take from the hotel to the airport.

We do not include international airfare, as travelers can join the trip from many different countries. We have a helpful place to search flight prices. You will be responsible for booking your own flights to meet at the starting city. We can add transfers only at the start and end of the tour for an additional fee.

do you pay extra if travel solo?

There will be an additional fee if you are traveling solo, the single supplement fee for 2023 is $500.00.

What is the maximum number of people on this tour?

Our small group tours would have a maximum of 26 passengers and our regular sized tours would have a maximum of 44 passengers.

Does this tour go to Youghal

This tour does not go to Youghal.

We will be traveling with a party of 3. My wife, 30 year old daughter, and myself. Are the hotel accommodations such that we could share a room with the three of us?

Yes, we offer triple rooms on our tours. Depending on the hotels it could be either a double bed and a single or 3 single beds in a room.

How many shots are required to be considered fully vaccinated?

For guests traveling with CIE Tours as of January 1, 2023, COVID-19 vaccinations and boosters are highly recommended, but no longer required.

What does not available in your region mean?

We don't have pricing in AUS $, it would only be in US $ or CAD $.

can you make a side venture to Armagh? wanting to visit ancestor town

Our tour itinerary is set, however if you wish to step away from the tour, you are more than welcome to. You would just have to let your tour guide know that you are doing something independent and make your own accommodations to Armagh and back to meet up with the group.

DISAPPOINTING!! Although the hotels, food and tour guide were excellent on the Irish Adventure tour we took May 2026, the customer service of CIE was not acceptable. After booking and paying for our tour, we received our seat assignments for our flight...not sitting with my travel partner...different rows. CIE did not warn of this possibility as I would have paid to upgrade my seat selection and claimed it was out of their control. Not happy with their response.Show more

We had an absolutely wonderful time on this tour. It was jam-packed with experiences, usually 3 distinct tourism stops each day, and kept us moving throughout the week. Honestly, though, the highlight of the tour for me was our driver, Ger O'Brien. His genial manner, fun (and funny) stories, and his description of everyday and not-so-everyday Ireland was perhaps the most surprisingly enjoyable part of the tour.Show more
