I just returned from the 12 Day Vagabond Giant Irish Adventure Tour with VagaGuide Danny, and I honestly can’t say enough good things about the experience. The smaller, family‑run hotels, restaurants, and pubs made us feel genuinely welcomed and at home. This trip exceeded my expectations in every way. There’s so much more I want to see and experience. If I could give Vagabond and Danny more stars, I would. Highly recommended!

Our 11 Day Discover Ireland Tour was flawlessly planned and executed by Vagabond. We not only saw Ireland, but we experienced the island with tour stops designed to immerse us in the culture, landscape, and the people of this amazing land. Every day was a new adventure. We could not have been more please with the overall experience with Vagabond Tours of Ireland.

We arrived home with many memories from our 12 Day Wild Coasts and Clover tour with Vagabond. We chose this tour because the itinerary included several two-night stays, thus enabling us to more fully explore an area. The Vagabond itinerary was thoughtfully developed to include must-sees like Cliffs of Moher and Blarney Castle and we were so fortunate to have Paddy as our guide. Thank you to Vagabond and Paddy for providing a terrific twelve days.

Magical! Amazing!! Beyond all expectations! Our 15 Day All Ireland Tour was more than we ever imagined! The small group tour was just what we were hoping for; personal and friendly. Our tour guides, Andrew and Tony, and one tour with Conor, went above and beyond to make our days and nights in Ireland magical. Thank you Vagabond Tours for a magical and unforgettable experience in your beautiful country!
We're still buzzing! This was, without a doubt, the best trip we’ve ever taken.
My wife and I joined 7 Day World Adventure Tour. Our tour guide was excellent, the stops well planned, choice of activities very much appreciated. Our guide offered excellent historical and cultural information that added context to the beautiful countryside. He also provided 7 days of sunshine!

A dream destination that didn’t disappoint! 11 days and I feel like we saw almost everything. Our tour guide Jasper was amazing! Not only his knowledge and driving skills but giving us a chance to see real Irish culture. Can’t say enough good things about this company and Jasper! Will definitely come back to Ireland and use Vagabond again!

I thoroughly enjoyed our 11 Day Driftwood Discover Ireland Tour with Vagabond Tours.
The trip exceeded my expectations in every way.
Our driver/guide Paddy kept us entertained the entire time with his knowledge and history of the areas we visited, his relevant stories, and his keen sense of humour.
The itinerary was comprehensive enough to give us a real taste of Ireland and the accommodation was top notch.
I would highly recommend a Vagabond Tour to anyone thinking about visiting Ireland!
Had an amazing experience with Vagabond.
It was our first time to Ireland and Ava the guide was wonderful!
She went out of her way to care for the group and ensure we could do what we were most interested in. She shared her love for her home country and deftly navigated traffic issues.
10/10 would do again and hopefully can in the near future.
My wife and I did the 8 day Wild Irish Tour. It was an amazing 8 days!
Damien, our main tour guide, and Barry, who was being trained, were fantastic! They were so knowledgeable of Irish history. They were personable, funny and made us feel right at home! Their professionalism is top Tier!
The Itinerary was perfect and we appreciated the flexibility to accommodate the weather.
The accommodations were amazing - we have never been treated so special!
We loved every little and big thing about this adventure and would highly recommend this tour to everyone we know.
