I would have given 5 stars but disappointed that NO BACKPACK received prior to the trip and after asking the Tour Director many times it turned up on the very last day. However it was missing the map and information on Iceland. I would like that information and have requested it from the Ireland branch of CIE and to date have not received any acknowledgement of my request. Extremely disappointed especially as the 38 American tourists had all received their backpacks and all information prior to leaving the States. Living in Australia as I do should not present a problem. This was my second trip with CIE and had no problems with the first trip. Iceland was an excellent trip but spoilt by lack of attention to detail.Show more
