Traveler's Comments
Beach at Inch, Dingle Peninsula
My husband and I have taken about 40 tours throughout Europe, U.S.A. Canada and Mexico with various tour companies over the past 25 years... This tour was, by far, one of the most informative and enjoyable tours we have taken. We feel that our tour guide & driver, Michael Hogan, was the main reason for this. Michael has been most accomodating, knowledgeable, helpful and very professional at all times. Also, he has a great sense of humor! ...We wanted to make sure your company knows how grateful we are to have had Michael as our tour guide. This was an outstanding tour and hopefully we will be taking another tour with you in the near future. -- Milton & Christine C., Santa Rosa, CA

Our tour guide & driver, Michael Hogan, made our trip to Ireland very special. He is not a hum-drum driver that recites what has been memorized from books. He has great knowledge about his beautiful country and all of the places we visited. Any questions we had were answered with pleasure. He went out of his way to accomodate every tour member, like stopping for special photo shots or taking a short side trip to a special place, and he was always aware of our safety at anytime or place - even on his own time. Making everyone's trip a special memory seemed to be his goal, not just a job. The many tidbits, stories and jokes were very interesting and extra pluses. Knowing when to stop talking and play nice Irish music seemed to come naturally. Going to Ireland was a great pleasure for me, and having Michael as our tour guide was at least 50 percent of the trip. I guess what I want to say is that if anyone taking a trip to Ireland is lucky enough to have Michael Hogan as their tour guide & driver, they should count their blessings because he will make that trip a truly memorable one. -- Nancy A., South Carolina

We've been on three other tours and Michael Hogan is by far the tops! His role in making this a thoroughly enjoyable time cannot be overstated! -- Jim & Barbara M., Wittenberg WI

In November 2006, I went on the most unforgettable trip to Ireland! I did not know what to expect as this was the first time I had taken a tour. It was more beautiful than I could have ever imagined. Our journey through the breathtaking countryside with all its history was absolutely amazing! I met some wonderful people who are now my "Irish family" and who will always be a special part of my life, sharing the bond of Ireland. I would specifically like to mention how impressive our tour guide, David Yeates, was. He was professional, extremely knowledgeable and shared his great love for his country. He had a wonderful sense of humor and took amazing care of us. I cannot thank him enough for the memories that will last a lifetime. He is truly a tremendous asset to your company. Thank you, CFS Tours and CIE Tours for a wonderful tour! -- Deborah D, Chicago IL

Dave Yeates went above and beyond - I feel like I'm leaving a friend behind. -- Debbie J., Naperville, IL

Greetings from soggy Massachusetts! We've had more "soft days" here than in Ireland. Back to reality. Had to write to say what a wonderful time we had in Ireland! Surely the trip of a lifetime! Thanks for adding so much and being so nice to Joe and myself. -- Joanne & Joe H., Boston MA
