Question: How many suitcases can I take with me on my trip?
Question: Is Airfare Included in the Price?
Patrick, our Tour Guide was absolutely fabulous. Very knowledgeable both on Irish history and current events in the area.
The entire experience was wonderful. I would highly recommend CIE to friends and family.
All the hotels were great except the last one in Dublin which was really sub par. The problem is people were given the evaluations to fill out before we ever got to that hotel and most filled out their evaluations based on the other hotels we had visited. One tour member even had a bloody hand print on her shower door, stains on her pillowcases and hairs on her sheets. It's too bad it was the last memory we had of the trip, as otherwise things were lovely.
As this was our first trip to Ireland my wife and I thought the guided bus tour was the best way to enjoy our visit. As it turns out it was better than expected. Our tour guide was friendly and professional and we were able to sit back and relax on the bus.
My granddaughter and I had a great time. She didn't even want to come home. The driver went everywhere that the tour had said on line.
Everything was well arranged and flowing smoothingly. I was impressed with the flawlessness of the operation's execution considering the logistics involved. My compliments to all involved and best regards
CIE was an excellent tour company with very nice travel accommodations and itinerary. I would highly recommend them for your tours in Ireland and UK.
Thanks for a most pleasurable experience
A thoroughly enjoyable experience for my granddaughter and me. An excellent guide, and the pace was ideal. They even had wifi on the bus. We never used it, as the beautiful scenery took all our attention. I would certainly recommend CIE tours and book through Affordable again.
Fabulous tour, excellent hotels, delicious meals, knowledgeable guides, good variety of activities! What more can I say? Here is my tribute to Pat Curran: Twas a great taste of Ireland with Pat and Seamus Our tour guide and driver and leprechaun famous The Quiet Man Pat was most definitely not For we heard Ireland\'s history and great battles fought We learned about hurling and rugby and sports And stories behind the Anglo Norman forts The Eloquent Stone we were able to kiss And the west coast of Ireland he didn\'t let us miss. We laughed at his jokes and smiled at his wit His pubs and his eateries sure made a hit.
The CIE tour experience was wonderful. We had a terrific guide who made the tour flow seamlessly. Excellent accommodations and meals. Great value for the money. I would go again!
My trip to Ireland was the best time of my life! I made many friends, The tour guide was wonderful, and I would love to do it again. THANK YOU!
The only thing is we felt there could have been a little more organized for the last evening as more of a group farewell. Without it, the trip was hardly Six Days. But we loved the group and the tour guide and generally had a great trip.
Killarney Tower Hotel, Academy Hotel in Dublin and Bunratty Castle Hotel were all nice. Burlington Hotel in Dublin is substandard at best. Our Tour Director did an outstanding job!
Everything was great. The only complaint was the last hotel before we flew home. Academy (best western) in downtown Dublin. The room was extremely small and hard to move around. The staff were not friendly at all and missed calling the wake up call in am for us and few others on the trip. Other than that it was great. Also the driver/tour director for CIE tours was excellent.
My daughter and I were so happy with the tour and everything associated with it. We couldn't believe how wonderful it was; so much packed in to each day and wonderful guides and a beautiful peaceful country. We hope to take another trip with your co. CIE was excellent.
I am not sure that at age 81 bus tours with one night stops and early wake up and departures is the most enjoyable way to travel. Will try a river boat trip next.

Excellent trip and guide. Only suggestion would be to start each day on the bus at 9:00 am, not 8:00 am - everyone is asleep for at least the first hour or so.
