I cannot say enough how wonderful this trip was.
We saw so much natural beauty, met so many nice, genuine people, ate great food, and stayed in lovely hotels.
Everyday was a different adventure or activity. There were a lot of laughs.
Our guide Kevin was the best. Just a really fun loving, happy soul who made the trip that much more memorable and enjoyable.
Words cannot describe how wonderful this experience was for both of us.
Danny (our Vagaguide) was the shining star of our travels. He is funny, adventurous, accommodating, and extremely knowledgeable about Irish geography and history. His storytelling was enrapturing.
The scenery was absolutely breathtaking. Our favorite spots to visit were the ones off the beaten path, and Danny knows of many that are even off the off beaten.
We were lucky enough to experience all of this with an awesome group of fellow travelers.
I doubt that I will ever visit a more beautiful place.
There aren't enough words to describe how magnificent this tour was!
I've been to Ireland three times now, but it was Vagabond Tours that made me truly fall in love with this magical country.
The itinerary was expertly curated to be a perfect blend of history, nature, and local culture.
There is definitely something special about this company, and I will be forever grateful for having toured with them.
