The Vagabond Team was exceptional from our first email inquiry through the last hour of our tour.
It will be difficult for us to meet this high standard in future travel!
Our guide, Sarah, was AMAZING! She knew so much about the history of Ireland. She was so kind and had a great sense of humor.
We are planning on going next year with our daughter and her family; this is our go-to tour company for Ireland.
I loved hearing the history, the legends, and stories being told by our guide Conor in such a passionate manner.
We managed to hike, ride horses, and bike... Vagabond is the only way to see the true Ireland!
In 2002, Rob led his first ever small-group tour of Ireland. Twenty-two years later, we are still listening, learning and improving every season. Every Vagabond & Driftwood itinerary distils decades of experience into one amazing adventure!
