CIE Tours International 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, our reputation for excellence is rooted in our signature Irish hospitality, the genuine warmth of our guides, and a talent for fostering lasting friendships on the road. We offer exclusive access, authentic experiences, and in-depth knowledge that, in the spirit of our heritage, often begins with a story.
CIE Tours is proud of our nine-decade history of providing excellence and value to our guests. Founded in Ireland, we have long been the largest operator into Ireland and Scotland - and today we bring our signature Irish hospitality to destinations across Europe. We look forward to welcoming you!

CIE Tours International first opened its doors in Ireland.
We adopted the "flying snail" logo that served us well for 20 years.
The New York City office opened its doors.
We traded in the flying snail for the "broken wheel" logo, which we updated for the 21st century back in 2000.
We moved to our office in Morristown, New Jersey—where George Washington was headquartered during the Revolutionary War.
We added two amazing new destinations to our portfolio—Iceland and Italy.
We go above and beyond to help ensure your trip is just as amazing as you've envisioned. Some of the big (and small) ways we make your vacation special:
Our tours balance immersive and CIE-exclusive experiences with plenty of down time to let you explore and enjoy on your own.
Tour prices cover all entertainment and experiences, full breakfasts and most dinners, so there's no upselling or hidden fees.
Our comprehensive travel protection plan allows you to cancel or change your plans up to 24 hours before your trip, for any reason
Each year, CIE Tours honors the hotels, attractions and experiences that get the highest ratings from our most discerning reviewers—32,000 CIE Tours travelers. Our Awards of Excellence are presented in January to the winning companies—and you'll find them featured in many of our itineraries.
