How many people are in a typical group on the tour?

What happens if I want to change my tour dates after booking?

Changes can be made based on availability, and there may be a $50 amendment fee if it's before final payment.

The price for a pre-night is $211.00.

What are the payment options available?

Payments can be made via credit card or bank transfer, and all pricing is typically in USD.

Can you help with booking flights from Calgary to Glasgow?

We have contracted rates with airlines, and can assist you with pricing.

How do I confirm if the tour is going ahead?

The tour date is listed as a guaranteed departure.

What documents are needed to enter the country?

Visa requirements vary by nationality; it's best to check the specific entry requirements for your country.

Are meals included during the tour?

Meals may vary by itinerary, please check your specific tour details for inclusions.

How easy is it to change the dates once booked and a deposit is paid? Also, if I do change the dates, is there a fee? Following that, if I booked a more expensive travel date and then changed to a cheaper travel date, do I still owe the original price or is the cheaper price my new price?

Thank you for your response but can you still clarify your policy on the final question I asked. If I, or in this case my parents, booked a more expensive travel date and then changed to a cheaper travel date, do we still owe the original price or is the cheaper price the new price?

Our tour was about as perfect as we could imagine! Not only was it well-organized in ways that allowed us to maximize the diverse, incredible sites and events each day, we were also blessed with an outstanding tour guide -- Linda -- who provided a wealth of knowledge about Scotland and kept us spellbound and laughing each day! We're still amazed that 24 strangers from all over the U.S. (plus Australia) could spend such concentrated time together with absolutely no conflicts and feel like old friends by the end of the tour! Our AAA travel agent said CIE Tours is her favorite group to work with and now we understand why!Show more

The tour guide and driver were terrific, although there could have been a bit more commentary on the bus, some of the long drives needed something. I would not recommend a single traveller to book paying single supplement. Single supplement is expensive but singles are given dreadful rooms at some of the hotels. Treated like we are the left overs whilst couples got lovely rooms. Some of the hotels that CIE use are not good. Ayre Hotel at Kirkwall was dreadful as was the Columba in Inverness.Show more

CIE tour guide and bus driver were superb! Graham Bruce is highly knowledgeable and thoughtful. Gordon is an excellent driver and is highly skilled at navigating some pretty narrow roadways. The itinerary was very good and aligned with our interest of the Highlands & Isles and Scottish history/culture. A couple of the hotels left A LOT to be desired. Namely..Novatel in Glascow (not near anything of true interest or decent restaurants, youths outside all night yelling and racing motor bikes, sounded drunk, dingy & depressing rooms with a very dangerous climb up shower on a platform, crowded dining w other tours & not so good food); Columba in Inverness was filthy. We literally had to ask for toilet paper & there was no room service. Lightshade over bed was covered in dust, triggering allergies/sleepless nights. In both of these locations there were DoubleTree & Marriott hotels. Other people I know have stayed in Glascow & Inverness and confirmed we could have done better.Show more

- CIE ToursOperator•Written November 2023
  Only deposit is due once you have confirmed the reservation. Final payment would be due 70 days prior to departure. Before final payment when only the deposit is on the reservation you can change to an alternate tour with only an amendment fee of $50. This can be a tour of lesser cost per person. Once full payment is made, you would not be able to change to an alternate tour.
