CIE MADE AN AMAZING TRIP EVEN BETTER.

Cie made my honeymoon so much more enjoyable. I didn’t have to worry about anything. All I had to do was show up. From meals to what hotel we were staying it, it was all worked out for us. Our tour guide Dee and Bus driver Teri ( i know I spelled that wrong) were phenomenal!! I honestly don’t know how they make any money for what we paid. All the hotels and meals were amazing.
