  • S

    Samuel

    Asked on February 13th, 2026

    Does the itinerary include a visit to Luce Bay or does it pass through the area?

    Tour Details
    • CIE ToursOperatorWritten February 2026

      Luce Bay is not listed on the tours itinerary.

  • B

    Barbara

    Asked on December 22nd, 2025

    For two people traveling together, is it possible to get two beds per room? (share rooms but separate beds). If so, would that be at the double price or singles price?

    Accommodation
    • CIE ToursOperatorWritten December 2025

      We can request one room with two separate twin beds. This would count as the regular double-occupancy price since you are sharing the room. For any single rooms, you must add the Single room supplement: $1995

    • B

      Barbara

      TravelerWritten December 2025

      So when we book, should we each book our own trip individually as singles under separate bookings and put in the comments that we are sharing with another traveller or do we book the trip as 2 under one booking? Just want to ensure that we are charged that $4695 each.

    • CIE ToursOperatorWritten December 2025

      To share a room, both travelers need to be on the same reservation. Please make sure you are both on the same TourRadar reservation, with one traveler designated as the lead passenger.

    Jen

    Asked on February 12th, 2024

    What level of hotels are they (how many stars). It looks like only one dinner is included. How about breakfast or any other meals, or beverage or food tastings included? How much deposit is required for a trip in July?

    Accommodation
    Meals
    Payments
    Tour Details
    • CIE ToursOperatorWritten February 2024

      There are 14 Breakfasts and 9 Dinners included. The deposit would be $250 per person for all tour dates. Here are all of the tour hotels they are 3- and 4-star properties.

  • L

    Lorraine

    Asked on January 25th, 2024

    What is the main difference between these two tours? Are the availability days accurate? What is the best price I can get i.e. usually I get 5% and then something from the door operator so can you negotiate a good deal for me?

    Price / Availability
    Tour Details
    • CIE ToursOperatorWritten January 2024

      I would recommend the Scottish & Irish Gold - 15 Days/14 Nights. Not only is it a bit longer, but it is at a bit of a slower pace and not so rushed. Both would be amazing small group tours. I would not be able to provide a 5% discount. However, you do have USD $414.52 worth of Travel Credits that I can add as a discount for you.

  • C

    Christopher

    Asked on November 6th, 2023

    My mother has a difficult time walking distances. She has her own mobility scooter. Can she bring her scooter with her and will she be able to use it throughout the tour?

    Tour Details
    Travel Support
    • CIE ToursOperatorWritten November 2023

      You most certainly can bring a wheelchair, collapsable scooter, or walker. However, wheelchairs/scooters must be lightweight and fully collapsible. They must also travel with a companion who can push the wheelchair, and you must be able to climb on and off the coach on your own.

  • A

    Adam

    Asked on August 18th, 2023

    Can a scooter do this trip?

    Tour Details
    Travel Support
    • CIE ToursOperatorWritten August 2023

      You would not be able to bring a motorized scooter however you can bring a wheelchair or a walker. Wheelchairs must be lightweight and fully collapsible. You must also travel with a companion who can push the wheelchair, and you must be able to climb on and off the coach on your own.
