"amazing introduction to ireland"
Review Image

As one of our travel mates said, our group was 15 out of 15. We normally are not tour people and it felt strange to leave all the planning in someone else’s hands. However, I cannot imagine a better experience!

Vagabond’s planning, itinerary and hotel choices were great! Our guide Steve kept us comfortable, well informed and laughing the entire trip!

This trip exceeded all our expectations and was the perfect introduction to Ireland πŸ€

11 Day Discover Ireland Tour
"absolutely amazing tour"
Review Image

Our guide did an absolutely outstanding job--from sharing his vast knowledge of Irish history & folklore to communicating clearly with us throughout the day. I can't give high enough positive remarks. We saw so much but never felt rushed.

My favorite part? The Irish people--they were so hospitable, warm, welcoming, and always ready to share a story.

I am SO glad that, after much research, I chose Vagabond and 10/10 recommend them to anyone looking for the perfect small group tour

"wonderful ireland tour"
Review Image

We took the 11 day Vagabond tour with Andrew as our guide. He was fantastic, knowledgeable, friendly, helpful and in general, just a great guy.

The bus and our fellow travelers were great as were the accommodations included with the tour.

I can recommend this tour company without reservation and if you should travel with Vagabond, I believe your vacation will be as enjoyable as our was.

The Bottom Line...

...Demand for our tour experiences is phenomenal year.

We will be virtually sold out of our most popular tours before the season even starts!

Because all of our itineraries are small-group tours β€” with a maximum of 15 guests on board β€” there's a limited number of spaces on each tour.

Contact our friendly team today to reserve your preferred dates.

To book your tour, it's a simple, flat-rate €250 deposit per guest.
