Is ground floor accommodation available?

I am interested in the Irish Gold 8 days/7 Nights tour, July 10, 2024 to July 17, 2024. Our group is 6 adults, and two children, ages 14 and 9. Is there availability? What would the overall cost be? If we arrived in Dublin on July 9th, can you extend us the same arrival hotel? We like the idea of the small group tour. For our reference, what are the additional destinations on the tour with 15 destinations?

The tour cost for that date is 2,945.00 per person. This is not a small group tour so it would have a maximum of 44 passengers. We currently have a pre-night available it would be $261.00 per room, $1044.00 total for 4 rooms. The 9-day version of tour has an additional day in Dublin at the end.

Our overall experience was very positive and our guide Brendan was wonderful. The stops on the tour were as advertised, well run on time and covered a large amount of a country we'd never visited before. Our only not as positive experience would be with the Granville Hotel in Waterford. The food was not very good, the elevator was exceedingly tiny that you could barely have 2 people with suitcases in it, and the bathroom faucets are off the age that they're are separate spigots for hot and cold making it difficult to regulate temperatures as they were also not close enough to mix the water streams in the sink.Show more

This was our first guided tour. My wife and I usually plan our trips, and travel on our own. I wasn't sure how I would like this. I must say CIE surpassed all my expectations. Our tour guide Marlene went above and beyond to make everything work flawlessly. Our driver Martin was very professional and friendly. I would not hesitate to recommend CIE to anyone traveling to Ireland. And would definitely consider touring with CIE again.Show more
