8 Day Wild Irish Rover Tour
SO COMFORTABLE

"Our guide 'Edwina' was and is great. Sometimes I found myself nodding off from her beautiful tone and accent, could have been because the vehicle was so comfortable and our guide an excellent driver as well."

Smooth, slick and very comfortable, our Mercedes-Benz 'Drifters' are a great way to discover Ireland.

There’s a strict maximum of 15 people allowed on your Driftwood tour, so there’ll always be plenty of space.

Our Drifters all feature large windows so you can make the most of the stunning views.

100% Mercedes-Benz Fleet

Civilised on the motorway, our Drifters are still compact enough to go off the beaten track.

Unearth a side of Ireland you would not experience on an ordinary bus tour.

Their smart ‘Brooklands Green’ livery mean you’ll be travelling in style too!

11 Day Discover Ireland Tour
GREAT CRAIC!

"The small tour and bus size allowed for exploring off the main highways and getting to know our guide and fellow travelers - normally I would say "what a hoot", but given we just got back from Ireland, I'll say "what great crack!""

BEAT THE CROWDS

"Our group of 14 got along well and enjoyed rotating seats in the 16 passenger Mercedes Benz mini bus. Our driver was able to get us in close and early to beat the crowds from the large tour buses."
