We loved every hotel. The accommodations were excellent and the food was mostly outstanding, except for one night where the chicken was dry and no one finished it. The sights we saw were all tremendous and we enjoyed everything about it.

All scotland cie tours tour reviews.

Excellent! CIE service and organisation was A+++. (Special shoutout to Paul our driver) Hotels and meals all highest quality. Only downer : Sound quality on bus was poor. Admittedly very many participants might be hearing-challenged. However, tour company should be expected to allow for this considering the clientele. The guides were interesting, but I would have loved to hear the details ....( and the jokes!)

The whole tour was fantastic! Our guide Di and driver Adrian were outstanding. The excursions were top notch. The hotels were very good with full Scottish breakfasts every morning. The included evening meals were just fair. Overall CIE did a A+ tour. Would go with them again.

I absolutely loved the Scottish Clans and Castles tour! As someone who traveled solo for the first time, I was somewhat nervous about being alone in a foreign country. There was no reason to be. My tour guide Becky and driver Neil were wonderfully accommodating and very patient. Becky was extremely knowledgeable about Scotland's history and made learning enjoyable. Neil, our driver had an amazing grasp of navigating the narrow and winding roads of The Highlands. I felt very secure with Neil behind the wheel. Scotland's countryside: The Highlands, Castles, and Lochs were breathtakingly beautiful as was the weather for the most part. I will definitely be coming back to Scotland with CIE!

What makes CIE Tours unique?

Sightseeing Visits: CIE Tours includes a variety of attractions on every tour for an interesting travel experience. Check each tour itinerary to see exactly which places are featured. Admission costs are included in the tour price so that you don't waste time paying as you enter each attraction.

Guaranteed Departures & Prices: We guarantee most of our land tour departures which are updated daily on our website. We guarantee land tour costs will not increase, once you have paid your tour deposit, to protect you against international currency fluctuations.

Group Airport Transfers: As a newcomer to an airport, it's great to have someone meet you. We include complimentary group transfers on the starting and ending date of tours at times specified on each itinerary. If you arrive or depart later than our tour dates, you may purchase a transfer from us.

Travel Documents: On arrival CIE Tours will supply coach tour clients with tour vouchers, maps, ticket wallets, destination information, rain poncho, carry-on backpack, phone cards, VAT tax card, luggage tags and a strap. Self-drive clients receive accommodation vouchers and listings, ticket wallets, luggage tags and a strap. Use the tags and strap on your baggage for easy identification throughout your holiday. All you need to supply is a valid passport and, if driving, a current drivers license.

Leisure & Spa Facilities: Most of the hotels we use offer wonderful leisure facilities and spas. When you travel on a coach tour, you will have some free time most days and may like to enjoy some relaxation and spa serenity! So be sure to pack a swimsuit and workout clothes.

History & Geography: People who choose to travel in Ireland and Britain usually have an interest in the long history of the region and, as you tour around, you will visit a lot of ancient cities, churches and castles. All of our tour directors are well trained in the background information of the places and incorporate this history into their narratives in a manner that is fun and easy to digest. Similarly they are able to give you facts on the geography of the regions you travel through, giving you an insight into climate, farming, weather and other topics.

Coach Touring & Sightseeing: Some people think that on a coach tour, all you do is sit on the coach all day. Not true with CIE Tours! We have created balanced and varied days of sightseeing with plenty of stops for taking photos, shopping, lunch, snacks and bathrooms. You never travel for longer than two hours without getting off the coach.
