8 Day Wild Irish Rover Tour
AMAZING SPRING BREAK

"Vagabond uses smaller vans which hold 14 people, so they are much more nimble. We were able to drive to places and see things that the big coaches cannot get to. Also, simple things like bathroom breaks and lunch breaks can be much quicker. We have seen the panic in people trying to race in as a big coach is pulling in, to get food or to the bathroom. Enough said."

7 Day Magnetic North Adventure Tour
A GREAT WAY TO TOUR IRELAND

"The smaller vehicle and group size is so much more comfortable than a large bus tour. Even though we were on the road a lot, a necessary part of seeing much of the north in 7 days, we had lots of active breaks, including hikes and interesting tours"

8 Day Wild Irish Rover Tour
A PERFECT TRIP TO IRELAND

"Our guide was simply fantastic! He had a terrific knowledge of the history of Ireland and the sites that we visited. He was a safe, experienced and responsible driver of our very comfortable van. We towed a trailer that held our luggage and there was simply nowhere that he wasn’t able to maneuver the van and trailer easily despite narrow roads"

11 Day Discover Ireland Tour
OUTSTANDING EXPERIENCE

"Our tour vehicle was a Mercedes van that seated 13 comfortably. I was really impressed with the Vagabond Tours organisation. We were originally going to rent a car and see these very same places on our own. But I stumbled upon Vagabond Tours when I was researching on the internet and I am so glad that I did."

6 Day Northern Island Tour
IT PROBABLY GETS NO BETTER

"The pace was perfect, with high class hotels every night. The tour vehicle was very comfortable and the ride was smooth. We especially appreciated that the time alloted for each stop/ feature/ attraction was generally perfect."

7 Day Irish Castles & Kingdoms Tour
EXCEEDED MY EXPECTATIONS

"The ride was comfortable and clean. We learned and saw so much of Ireland. I highly recommend this tour especially since we never competed with crowds and large tour buses."
