A BIT OF BACKGROUND: To put her "travel tips" into practice for the benefit of many travelers, "Ireland Expert" Patricia Tunison Preston and her husband John Preston organize and accompany group tours of Ireland.

Since 1992, Pat & John have led a summer tour with Galway-born Msgr. Charlie Coen, Ireland's "musical priest." In addition, Pat & John also lead shorter off-season group tours to Ireland in the Springtime and the Fall. In all, almost 1,600 people have traveled with Pat & John on 30 different group tours.

All of our tours follow a leisurely and relaxed pace, with mostly two-night stays at each of our hotels. No packing and unpacking and no moving from one place to another every day. Our tours are custom-designed as vacations to savor and enjoy - splendid scenery, legendary attractions, top class hotels, marvelous meals, and fun-filled activities. A great way to experience the best of the Emerald Isle - the "real Ireland."

Prices for all tours are available as a land and airfare package, or as land only, if you prefer to arrange your own airfare (and possibly save money or use frequent flyer miles). See details on the "What the Price Includes" page for each tour.

To sample the fun and camaraderie of our tours, view our "Tour Blogs."

Our tours have been recommended as a "Real Deal" by the Boston Globe, Chicago Tribune, New York Newsday, Chicago Tribune, and many other papers as well as Ireland of the Welcomes magazine. Here are photos of our three most recent groups.

OTHER TOUR DATES:  If our dates don’t fit your plans, the next best thing is to join a regularly scheduled CIE Tours vacation. Save 5% on the price of all CIE Tours International escorted land vacations – all you have to do is book through Pat.  Pat will handle your booking, and provide her expert advice as well.  Based on her many years of experience, Pat will help you pick the right tour for you at the right price. Depending on the tour you select, your savings can range from $50 to more than $200 per person.  Click here for full information.
