Just got home from the most wonderful 11 Day tour of Ireland with Vagabond! The route, the various town-specific tours selected for us, the amazing historic sites, and the incredible natural beauty of Ireland were all outstanding. Equally outstanding were some of our accommodations... The small tour and bus size allowed for exploring off the main highways and getting to know our guide and fellow travelers... If all of that isn't wonderful enough, we were told the company owner has a policy of offsetting the carbon footprint of each tour by planting native trees! I highly highly highly recommend this tour and company to anyone looking to visit Ireland!

My wife and I went on this wonderful 7 Day tour this past September with very good friends to celebrate our 25th anniversary... The best part of our experience turned out to be our incredible guide Andrew. He made our week so enjoyable due to his great personality, clever wit, and genuine love of Ireland... We would definitely recommend Vagabond Tours to our friends, and would certainly like to go again and take the Northern Ireland tour... Vagabond runs a first class operation. Their comfortable Mercedes vans allow you to relax and enjoy the countryside while they do the driving and daily planning. We look forward to our next Irish adventure!

My wife and I did the Castles and Kingdoms tour in October 2019. The entire experience exceeded all of our expectations. Edel was our guide - she was knowledgeable and entertaining... I am not going to drone on and on about what we did/saw. That's what the Vagabond website is for. Ireland is beautiful. People are very friendly. Don't overthink this - if you want to see and learn about Ireland and you're not some over-the-top Diva - DO THIS!

Outstanding tour. Our guide Rhys knew just where to take us for breathtaking scenery, great hikes, and always a nice little pub where we could recharge. The hotels we stayed at were quite nice and we got along well with our small little group. In many cases the out of the way places were far more beautiful and serene than the more touristy locations (Cliffs of Moher). Overall a wonderful experience. Highly recommended.

The entire tour was wonderful ! The trip of a lifetime. Tim was entertaining and so informative. Ireland was just as I anticipated beautifully green, so lush. The pubs were fun. The castles spectacular!! My favorite place was Kylemore Abbey.

I highly recommend the Vagabond 12 day Giant Irish Adventure Tour. WHY? 1. The spectacular natural beauty of Ireland, especially the north and west coast. 2. The varied daily activity and the pace of each day and the options we had. 3. The interesting and different accommodations (it was obvious there was a good relationship with the hotels/inns and many of the pubs we stopped at for lunch) 4. THE GUIDE - Damian was so knowledgeable and well versed in Irish history and stories, archeology, geography... He was professional, responsible, a great storyteller, witty, sensitive, and he went above and beyond the call of duty to ensure each person had a great experience.

"The 7 day tour we recently got back from was truly outstanding... We had a private tour with family members having very diverse interests and abilities... " Aquanut

"We arranged a private tour for a group of 7... Carmel, our guide, was outstanding and made our day extra special" David L

"The highlights of our trip included things we wouldn't have come across on our own: kayaking with a dolphin escort, Murphy's ice cream, walking with the hawks, hiking along the edge of the Cliffs of Moher." Kristine S - April 2014

Well I am like most of the others in recent reviews as I have not yet gone on my trip. I want to emphasize how marvelous Ciara was when I had to cancel and I have now rebooked the 11 Day Driftwood tour September 7... One of the reasons I rebooked was the low deposit as even though did get my deposit back with no trouble last year... Marvelous communication and service and I’m sure my tour will be marvelous and I can write a great review when I have been

Just had to cancel my dream vacation.... 12 Day Driftwood tour of Ireland... because of the pandemic. Even though I haven't traveled with Vagabond, I have to let everyone know that they have been exceptional to work with. My booking and payment was easy, I have called them on two occasions and my phone calls were returned promptly the next day (Eastern Standard time). They gave me a full refund (minus deposit which is waived if I rescheduled next year). I could not ask for better service during what I know is also a difficult time for their company. I appreciate it and definitely recommend them!

Our family was scheduled to travel with Vagabond during March 2020 but due to the unfortunate outbreak of the coronavirus, our tour was cancelled only a few days before we were set to fly to Dublin. The team at Vagabond went above and beyond to help us reschedule our vacation. Although we haven't yet traveled with Vagabond, their customer service and booking teams are worthy of an exceptional review in our opinion. Thank you Gillian, Ciara, Emma, and Deirdre!
