Please check with your carrier regarding luggage restrictions and costs. Transfers to and from the airport are not included in the bookings. If you are looking to book independently, airports have plenty of taxis or transfer services available. If you're at the hotel, the reception can help you arrange a transfer as well.

Is there no available dates for the 17th October?

Our tour guide had a wealth of information about the country and history. I thoroughly enjoyed learning from her and the history of the country Ireland and Scotland. We did a variety of activities and all of the choices were well chosen and gave me a great sense of what the country had to offer. She answered all my questions and made me feel comfortable. Most of the hotels were wonderful. I especially liked the castle. The food was good and we could choose from a few selections. The entertainment was exceptional and I am still thinking about it! The hotels all had a wonderful selection at breakfast and all the service was great! I would definitely recommend going because you will get to experience the beauty of the people and the country which is lovely. The countryside areas are beautiful! I'm so happy I got to visit them. I also enjoyed the cities and shopping it had to offer and I was really impressed by how clean and beautiful the city was.Show more

They run a very good tour and would highly recommend to all my friends. they just do everything right. The only thing I wished they did on the tour we just took was do more stops in the towns we drove thru. It would have been nice to stop in some of the towns and get a feel of the people and the culture and to do a little more shopping. I went last year on the Pub Tour and would rate it higher then this tour. The hotel we stayed in while in Belfast I would say did not live up to CIE Tours High standards . I believe it was called the Maldron. Some of the stops we stopped at felt rushed. I would have like to spend more time. And the timing at some of the stops were not well planned.Show more
