After traveling with CIE Tours for the past ten years -- sometimes twice a year -- my wife and I had a trip canceled. At first they refused to give my travel agent a reason. They offered to put us on a "Pub Tour." This didn't work for us since I'm asthmatic and Irish pubs are very smoky. I finally called and after many long waits got to talk to a...

At the end, they wanted 10K for a travel 'club' membership...no thanks. They mysteriously ran out of travel vouchers and I still have not received them in the mail, as they...
