By Deirdre

Deirdre Keogh is General Manager at Vagabond Tours. Born and raised in Dublin, she knows Ireland’s capital inside out. You’ll love her expert travel tips about Dublin whether you’re taking Vagabond and Driftwood tours or merely visiting the city.

Hey there, I'm Deirdre πŸ‘‹

My role as Sales & Marketing Manager with Vagabond means that I help visitors choose tours every day.

7 days is one of our most popular tour durations.

All of the itineraries below pack A LOT into just one week and β€” we think β€” they're superb value for money.

The early decisions you will make while planning a trip to Ireland are some of the most important.

For example, what is your travel style? Do you want to hike and bike? Or focus more on castles and culture?

Read on, intrepid traveller, to answer these questions and understand the key differences between our 7 day tours of Ireland.

First Things First...

It's important to understand the key difference between our two tour styles.

On Vagabond Cultural Adventures, we'll get your heart pumping.

Your adventure will not only feature fun, history and culture but will have an upbeat tour pace.

You will be able to choose from a menu of adventure activities like hiking, biking, horseback-riding and sea-kayaking.

You'll leave your hotels earlier than on Driftwood tours and, most of the time, return later. That's so we can pack more into each day.

With Driftwood Journeys of Discovery, we've dialled down the pace to give you more quality time.

You are still guaranteed laughter and relaxation, just in a more chilled style.

We'll focus your experience on quaint towns, great food, traditional Irish culture, crafts and music.
