Rob and Amy Rankin established Vagabond Tours back in 2002.
Today, 21 touring seasons later, our small-group tours of Ireland still revolve around laughter, learning and off the beaten track destinations.
Touring with a maximum 14 other guests holds many advantages.
Your footprint is smaller. Your itinerary is flexible. You go off the beaten track.
Best of all, you'll be on 1st name terms with everyone onboard - that includes your VagaGuide!
Kayaking. Biking. Horse-riding. Hiking. Active Vagabond Tours are all-action.
Challenge yourself with active adventures in off the beaten track Ireland.

This trip was fantastic.
From the moment we boarded the bus... until the trip finished Sunday night.
I would definitely go back again and recommend Vagaband Tours to anyone.
