Ireland, it’s been magical! 🇮🇪 ☘️

I just spent the most amazing eight days touring all around Ireland, and I’m so eager to start sharing my experiences with my clients. From exploring the towns and natural beauty of this country to meeting the tour guides and hoteliers who can make trips really special for my guests, I’ve learned so much on this journey!

If you’re thinking Ireland for 2025 or 2026, don’t wait - reach out to me to start planning now! I can help you select the perfect escorted small group tour OR plan your self-drive itinerary to any of your must-do stops in Ireland. (I’ve got plenty of hidden gem hotel recommendations up my sleeve after this trip!) Let’s talk soon about your vacation on the Emerald Isle!

Remember that mystery package from CIE Tours that was waiting for me when I arrived home from Greece last month?

Inside, I found my CIE Tours Travel Pack, reminding me to start preparing for my trip to Ireland in November!

One of the wonderful benefits of traveling with CIE Tours is the Travel Pack. The Travel Pack is shipped straight to your door and is full of handy items for your trip to Ireland, Scotland, or any of CIE's destinations.

What's inside my CIE Tours Travel Pack?
✈️ A backpack! I plan to tie an obnoxiously patterned ribbon on mine to distinguish it from the rest of the group.
✈️ A luggage strap and luggage tags, which are not only helpful for me, but for the CIE Tours staff who will transfer my luggage to every stop on our journey.
✈️ A water bottle for staying hydrated during my adventure
✈️ A lightweight poncho for rainy days (clearly, CIE has some experience in Ireland!) plus a storage pouch for clipping my poncho onto my backpack
✈️ A travel adapter for my electronic devices
✈️ Travel documents with my complete itinerary and a "Go-To Guide" to Ireland and Britain full of tips about packing, currency, weather, time zones, transit information, and more. It's basically an FAQ for traveling in Ireland or Britain!

Whether you're an experienced traveler or a novice, the Travel Packs that are included with all CIE Tours not only help you prepare for visiting a new destination but also build excitement and anticipation for a special trip. Who doesn't love an exciting mail day and something tangible to make your long-awaited vacation start to feel real??

I'm so excited to share that I'm heading to Ireland in November with CIE Tours!

It's going to be a whirlwind week of Irish adventure as I experience one of CIE's most popular itineraries, appropriately named "Irish Adventure." This escorted tour will take me to Dublin, Waterford, Cobh, Killarney, Galway, Donegal, Derry, Belfast, and back to Dublin. I also have a full day on my own in Dublin to explore the city some more before I head home.

I'm already doing my research to bring you the best of gluten free dining from Ireland, too! My independent touring in Dublin is pretty much planned around gluten free goodies. 😂

Follow along this month as I preview my trip and share what it's like to get ready to travel on an escorted tour with CIE Tours. And stay tuned for all the sights and sounds of my trip later this month!
