CIE TOURS LOGO

CIE Tours provide extraordinary guided vacations through Ireland, Britain, Iceland, Italy and beyond.

We are committed to offering authentic travel experiences that appeal to a diversity of travelers, delivered with exceptional quality, impeccable service and a commitment to responsible tourism.

 

CIE Tours has helped generations of guests experience the beauty and wonder of Europe, forge new friendships, and be welcomed home far away from their homes. Founded in 1932, their reputation for excellence is rooted in their signature Irish hospitality, the genuine warmth of their guides, and a talent for fostering lasting friendships on the road. CIE Tours offer exclusive access, authentic experiences, and in-depth knowledge that, in the spirit of Irish heritage, often begins with a story.

Our top sustainability tip is to get started and adopt an action focused approach to sustainability. Bring as many people on board as possible. The increased rollout of HVO across a number of our tours has been a significant sustainability achievement for the team at CIE Tours.
