Celebrating 90 Years of Adventure
This year marks CIE Tour's 90th Anniversary of the warmest welcomes in Ireland, Britain, and beyond for CIE Tours.
CIE Tours first opened our doors in Ireland in 1932 – the year Amelia Earhart became the first woman to fly solo across the Atlantic. A spirit of exploration was in the air CIE when Tours invited curious travelers to discover the land alongside their local guides.
To celebrate 90 years of CIE Tours, here's a list of some of the best insider tips, and cultural experiences to explore in 2022:
Ireland
Slieve League: feel the wind on your face as you stand atop the highest sea cliffs in Europe.
In a CIE Tours exclusive, you can sip a creamy Irish coffee as you take in the incredible view.
Salthill: pull up a chair by the fire and settle in for a storytelling session at O'Connor's Famous Pub. You might find it familiar- it was a filming location for Ed Sheeran’s Galway Girl video!
Scotland
Royal Edinburgh Military Tattoo: featuring marching bands from around the world, this swirling pageantry is available on every CIE Tours guided vacation that has a stay in Edinburgh during the August dates of the Tattoo every year.
See the Sheepdogs: on the Scottish Dream tour, visit a traditional farm and watch the clever sheep herding dogs.
Italy
Villa Borghese: your centrally located CIE Tour hotel in Rome is a short wander from this wonderful public park which hosts an art gallery, a zoo, a theatre, and magical vantage points of the Eternal City.
Pizza in Naples: the tradition of Neapolitan pizza making is strictly regulated and it’s even included on UNESCO’s list of intangible cultural heritage.
Iceland
Secret Lagoon: visit Iceland’s oldest swimming pool. Small and intimate, it’s where savvy travelers go to enjoy for an authentic Icelandic spa.
Northern Lights: cross this one off your bucket list. In the winter months, catch panoramic views of Reykjavik as you sail away watching for the elusive, ephemeral aurora borealis.
