"you will not be disappointed"
Do yourself a favor, and book your Vagabond tour ASAP!
The magical, informative, enchanting, incredible journey that my family and I were able to experience because of Vagabond was truly incredible. We made life-long memories that I will cherish always.
I will be booking a return trip as soon as we can make it back; we fell in love with magical Ireland. This is by far the best tour we’ve ever been on. You will NOT be disappointed!”

"once in a lifetime trip"
I usually wouldn't write a review about a trip but this one was different and I need to express the kind of tour company Vagabond is.
The whole trip was amazing! We were a group of 9 friends that overtook the bus! LOL. By the end, we were one Big Happy Group. We were on roads the big buses could not go and experienced the most outstanding sights and tours.
Just take the leap and take any of the tours with Vagabond, its more then well worth the trip!

"a wonderful experience"
Our family’s Vagabond Adventure tour was a fantastic experience! A smaller vehicle allow for lots of visits to unique and beautiful spots (even some off-roading!) away from the tourist path.
Our guide was ultra-knowledgeable, fun and tailored activities to meet each person in the group. Fun hikes and outings each day left everyone feeling exhilarated.
Our teens cried at the end because they loved the trip and our small group so much! Highly, highly recommend.

Included On All Tours
A VagaGuide
Your tour will be fully guided by one of our expert VagaGuides.
That means you'll enjoy the company and services of your very own, highly-trained, local tour guide.
VagaGuides are storytellers, historians and sometimes, if you ask nicely even singers, poets and musicians.
They are also trained to be outstanding drivers, safely steering your Irish journey.
Full Days
We believe in providing outstanding value.
It might seem obvious but a 5 day Vagabond tour will comprise 5 full days. The same goes for our 7 and 8 day tours.
We pick you up at 8am on the first day and say goodbye by 6pm on the last.
Your tour will be fully-guided and your departure is fully-guaranteed by us from the moment two guests are booked.
All Hotels
Your tour includes pre-booked accommodation in our favourite, high quality hotels.
We put great effort into selecting locally-owned accommodation for our Vagabond Tours.
Hospitality, locally sourced food and an authentically warm welcome are all on the menu!
Breakfasts
Each morning on tour you'll be served a delicious and filling hot Irish breakfast.
Yes, that means bacon and sausages. Toast and eggs. The whole shebang.
Often there's even more choice, like smoked salmon or whiskey-spiked porridge.
You'll need it too! All that adventuring builds serious appetites.
Activities
There are certain must-do activities that we feel no guest should miss.
That's why we've absorbed the costs for essential attractions.
Places like the Rock of Cashel, the Giant's Causeway and the Cliffs of Moher are on us.
Experiences like hiking, kayaking, horse riding, boat trips and distillery tours happen on a 'pay-as-you-go' basis.
A Native Tree
We'll plant a native tree in Ireland every time you tour with us.
This helps offset the carbon emissions produced by our vehicles and long-haul aviation.
We also love how native Irish tree species promote biodiversity, fostering natural habitats for Irish insects, birds and mammals.
