Rave Review: Ireland with CIE Tours International
“We got back from Ireland I just wanted to thank Ann Fendelman for an outstanding vacation! Our tour guide, Liam, and our driver, Mick, were outstanding and they made the entire trip such a memorable occasion! We fell in love with them and I highly recommend this tour.
The weather couldn't have been better! We didn't run into any rain until the last day in Dublin when we were touring the cemetery. While we were at the cemetery, we managed to find tombstones of extended members of our families, which was an added bonus!
Thanks again, Ann, and I will recommend you and Brentwood travel to anyone interested in a vacation!”

At Brentwood Travel, we pride ourselves on curating unforgettable experiences for our clients. Recently, Travel Advisor Allison Roth sent her clients on a Viking cruise through Norway's stunning fjords and into the Arctic Circle - a journey in search of the magical Northern Lights. The journey began with an unexpected change of plans. As anyone who travels knows, the weather can be unpredictable, especially when sailing from Barcelona to the UK. Due to challenging weather conditions, the Viking Neptune was unable to dock at Tilbury for embarkation day. Instead of boarding at 11:00 AM as scheduled, guests were treated to a three-hour visit to an art museum in London before being transported to Portsmouth, where they embarked at 9:00 PM. While this meant missing the Amsterdam port stop entirely, Viking responded by providing compensation of $125 per person and refunding excursion costs. It's a good reminder that cruise lines like Viking work hard to accommodate guests when Mother Nature intervenes. Below is the review they shared with Allison about their incredible adventure.

Our Marketing team, Amber Humphreys & Rachel Peters had the opportunity to go on Globus’ Canyon Country Adventure this summer! This was their first time experiencing a Globus tour and visiting some of the biggest National Parks in Arizona & Utah.

Next year, director Christopher Nolan is set to release his biggest and most expensive film to date with an estimated budget of $250 million. He will be retelling Homer’s The Odyssey , which is believed to be over 2,700 years old, and one of the only remaining stories to survive the burning of the Library of Alexandria. Now considered a classic and taught in English classes around the world, The Odyssey is an important story to tell, and Nolan has big expectations to meet – especially after winning Best Picture for Oppenheimer in 2024. With such a star-studded cast including Matt Damon, Tom Holland, Anne Hathaway, Lupita Nyong’o, Zendaya, Charlize Theron, Robert Pattinson, Mia Goth, and more, The Odyssey is sure to draw in crowds. It is also expected to lead to an increase in tourism to some of the stunning locations already confirmed for filming and currently in production.
