What's the difference between the 7 Day Driftwood tours?
We aim to give you plenty of choice here at Vagabond and Driftwood Tours; and so we offer diverse tours to cater for everyone's tastes.
We operate two 7 day tours of Ireland via Driftwood Tours. The first is the 7 Day Driftwood Treasure Ireland Tour. A newer, but no less fun tour is the 7 Day Driftwood Irish Castles & Kingdoms Tour.
Both these Driftwood 7 Day tours of Ireland feature a more relaxed pace and the same price point: €1,615.50 (estimated $ price approx. $1,884).
They are both perfect for you if you're considering a calm and cultured 7 day Ireland trip. (If you do fancy hiking and other adventure activities are, then Vagabond Cultural Adventure Tours may suit you better).
