Is travel insurance included in the package?

Travel insurance is not included but is highly recommended. You can inquire with us for suggestions on how to obtain coverage.

Are there restroom facilities on the bus during the tour?

Buses usually have restroom facilities, and there will be stops scheduled for comfort breaks throughout the journey.

What is the age range for travelers on this tour?

Our tours generally attract a variety of age groups. However, some specific tours may cater to certain age ranges, so checking the tour details is advisable.

Are there any specific items I should pack for the tour?

We recommend packing comfortable clothing suitable for varying weather conditions, as well as sturdy shoes for walking and exploration.

What do I need to do to confirm my booking?

Travel documents are typically sent out a few weeks before your departure. Please ensure we have your correct mailing address.

I'm looking at a solo tour in Ireland in Canadian dollars. My filters included age 50+ and private hotel rooms. Some/most of the options that come back don't recognize those filters and the price is per person when 2 people travelling together. So what's the point of including filters?

You can most certainly travel solo and you would have your own room. On this tour there will be a single supplement fee of $550.00 as our rates are based on 2 passengers sharing a room.

When does the tour officially start?

The tour begins with check-in on the specified start date, typically the day after arrival, allowing you to settle in before the activities commence.

We are interested in the Irish Pub Tour and wondered if there is one leaving 8.8 or 9.8?

These are the closest dates we have to the ones you requested: Sat Aug 10, 2024 US$2845, Wed Sep 11, 2024 US$2845. Prices are per person based on double occupancy.

Can I book transfers from the airport to the hotel?

Transfers can be booked for an additional cost. After your reservation is confirmed, we will advise you on the pricing and need your flight details for the arrangement.

The level of organization to synchronize all the variables in a tour of this type is excellent. All the features of the tour were interesting and a pleasure to experience. Our primary guide and coach driver was as good as can be hoped for, both for his commentary and his driving skills. There was a lot to keep up with and a pretty busy schedule involved, and handled quite well. We especially enjoyed the events when local story tellers and musicians performed and the sheep dog herding demonstration. A few minuses: Our room wasn't ready in our Kilkenny hotel even though we arrived a half hour past check in time. The dinners served at the hotels were very similar and while satisfactory to eat were not in any way particularly special. The audio system on the coach was less than ideal, with some static and noise in Peter's presentations. We're glad we chose to tour Ireland and happy we chose CIE to provide the tour for us.Show more
