8 Day Jigs & Reels Tour
"you will not regret it, not even for a second"
I have visited Ireland twice before but nothing compared to this tour with Vagabond and our amazing guide Roisin!
I learned so much about the culture, history, music and dance of Ireland, and we had experiences with private musical performances that you will not likely find on your own.
We had a great group of people in our van and it made the experience that much better!
If you are considering a Vagabond Tour, do it! You will not regret it, not even for a second!
