"a great experience"
Review Image

It was one of my best travel experiences, from learning a 12,000 year history of Ireland in the first 20 minutes, to experiencing the genuine love Hugh has for this country of Ireland that he shares so freely and with great sincerity.

We were kept busy with multiple experiences daily and in looking back, I cannot believe the ground we covered in 7 short days.

"spectacular 7 day tour of ireland"
Review Image

We visited a lot of hidden gems that only locals would know about; many of these gems were my favorite parts of the whole tour.

The accommodations were all great. There was absolutely no shortage of stunning scenery on this trip.

Without hesitation, I would consider doing another Vagabond tour in the future.

"an epic adventure"
Review Image

We had the most amazing trip with Paddy as our guide on the Vagabond 7 Day World Tour of Ireland.

This was an action-packed adventure with just the right mix of group activities and time on your own to explore.

Top notch service and an unforgettable experience! Highly recommend!
