    We did the Irish Gold tour (with extra day in Dublin) and thoroughly enjoyed it. Good pace, some free time, plus food provided as part of the tour was very good too. Our tour guide Marion Kelly was excellent, along with our driver Martin Dempsey!

    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.

    Our CIE Tour was incredible. Our tour director, Tommy =, was the best. He gave great information and insight all along the way. Our driver, Martin, maneuvered the roads as a real pro. The tour was a great mix of beautiful landscapes and sites along with great times in pubs with great Irish music. A memorable trip of a lifetime! Our favorite!

    Carl

    Asked on January 7th, 2024

    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?
