Irish Adventure Reviews

I would like to thank Murt our Driver and Tour Guide for a great time in Ireland, everything was organised, we didn't have to worry about anything he was there for us and our needs. I would recommend this tour.

Having been on many coach tours with various companies, my CIE tour was up there with the best. Great hotels with excellent choice of food and service. Best of all was our driver/guide Murt Oshea, this manÆs knowledge of the history of Ireland was second to none. He kept us entertained from day one with his stories of growing up and living in Ireland ...read more as well as his singing and overall personality, very much an asset to CIE Tours. I would certainly recommend CIE to all.

We had an absolute ball on our Irish Adventure tour and a significant part of that was due to our tour director Dave Darby. He looked after us and kept us laughing the whole way while all the time making sure we learned plenty about the sights we were seeing. I would recommend Dave and the CIE Tours team to anyone. It was a truly memorable experience. ...read more Thank you.

We have recently completed a 9 day tour of Ireland commencing 15th Feb. It was a wonderful tour, whatever CIE are paying our guide Frank it is not enough, he made us feel welcome, he was funny, informative, passionate and ensured a great time was had by everyone. His knowledge and information is incredible, from him we were able to learn more than we ...read more could have hoped while also having a great time. This tour was well organised, the food and accommodation was incredible, the evening walks were well worth it (especially in Derry). We have returned to Australia telling everyone about our tour, recommending CIE to everyone who asks. We would not have any hesitation in booking another tour with CIE tours again.

Our CIE driver guide Frank Foster was excellent! We had a full coach, so Frank had many people to deal with and I must say that I was very impressed with his professionalism, and his knowledge of Irish history. I find it quite amazing that Frank was equally expert at moving that coach around and giving us a full account of Irish history and some Irish ...read more humour all at the same time! All of the tour guides in the cities were so wonderful! We truly enjoyed the tour guide in Cobh, (I think Michael) he was just great and painted a wonderful picture for us all with his stories and facts.
We were so pleased with our stops on this tour. I even got to see the Cliffs of Moher at last! (The last time I was there years ago it was fogged in!). We found the Skellig Experience very interesting, the new visitor centre at GiantÆs Causeway was very well done and of course we were truly impressed with the Titanic Museum in Belfast! The best thing about the tour was of course our contact with the local people and the fine service. The hotels were very good, and as mentioned in the beginning of my comments I have high regard for our driver/guide Frank Foster and his fine sense of making the trip enjoyable for everyone, his professionalism as well as his Irish sense of humour.

Brian Hanrahan was phenomenal, polite, funny and all around excellent. He went above and beyond to make everyone happy. He noticed our son wasn't eating and arranged a plain pasta dinner for him, which was very nice. We knew he'd be picky but very much appreciated his kindness. We'll definitely use CIE again and recommend them to anyone who listens ...read more.

What a beautiful country Ireland is, we had a super tour. Our driver, tour guide, comic, and all-round raconteur Brian H. did a fabulous job. Cannot praise him highly enough. Great stories and jokes kept us all amused and well informed. His organisation was first rate.

Our tour started out with a little bus trouble, but our excellent bus driver Frank Foster had another bus and driver to us in no time at all and we were on our way to tour Dublin. I was thoroughly impressed with our 9 day adventure from start to finish. All of the sites and stops were full of so much history and beauty. The hotels we stayed at and meals ...read more we were served were all high quality. Ireland is truly a beautiful country and I hope to return one day. I want to thank Frank Foster for his knowledge of the history of his country that he shared so eloquently. We all appreciated his sense of humour and his concern that we were all having a wonderful time. If all the drivers at CIE care like Frank, CIE is very fortunate. I was one happy customer.

Thank you CIE, absolute value for money. We learnt so much about so many different things. An absolute whirlwind tour which circumnavigated the entire country in 7 days. Thank you to Dave, our driver/guide; an absolute gentleman, with the Irish touch in his humour, oh and I think he has kissed the Blarney Stone more than once. A fantastic week was had ...read more by all. The history of Ireland and the fantastic nature of the Irish people made the tour even more enjoyable. The motels were fantastic and the mountains of food were amazing. Barring a couple of very minor hiccups it was a fantastic tour. We highly recommend it and we can't wait for our next tour with CIE.

We just finished the Irish Adventure tour. What a wonderful time we had! We got a very intensive look at the country of Ireland. We learned a lot about Irish history and though we are not officially done yet, we can't say enough about how nice our accommodations have been, how good the food has been and how informative our tour guide was. Our tour guide, ...read more Frank Foster, was great. He was very knowledgeable and that made the trip even more enjoyable. We honestly can't pick out one thing that we liked the most. We liked it all! Would we use CIE Tours again? Most definitely, yes!

Declan Ryan, our guide and driver in Ireland introduced us to his delightful country with warmth and humour. We learned so much about the turbulent history, the interesting aspects of the culture and saw the beauty of the land in the hands of a skilled driver, Declan. We applaud him and will savour the memories he helped to create during our 9 day ...read morestay.
