“Let me tell you the deal we have right now,” says Brian Stack in his good-natured brogue. “For $363, you can have six nights in Ireland staying at a choice of over 1,100 bed and breakfasts, a self-drive Hertz car, your full Irish breakfast every day, a private room with bath and shower, and a guide. We have airfare starting incredibly low that would go with that … so I reckon for less than $800 you’d be able to go to Ireland, including your airfare, car, and accommodations.” After twenty years with CIE Tours, Stack is passionate about the opportunities that his company provides for first-time and return visitors to see Ireland at reasonable prices and with minimal stress over planning, which can be a concern when visiting a country with overwhelmingly numerous attractions. CIE has been around for nearly 80 years and is the single largest purchaser of accommodations in Ireland, as well as the largest provider of tourists to Ireland from the U.S.
