Our Guests Love Us! 💚

"The tour with Jason far exceeded my expectations. Jason was an amazing VagaGuide. He is professional, witty, and very well informed about all things Ireland. I asked a lot of questions, and if he didn't know — which was rare — he did some research and came back to dinner or breakfast with an answer... The guesthouses and hotels were top-notch. I wasn't sure what the expect and I was pleasantly surprised. The van was super comfortable and was a perfect way to travel... I watched the packing guide... which was super helpful! Because of all this, I was very well prepared for the trip. That made for an even more enjoyable experience. Your staff were very helpful. I asked a few questions in advance of our trip, and got prompt responses... I can not stop thinking about Ireland... Every chance I get I tell everyone about Vagabond Tours. I can't wait to go again and I've even convinced my husband to join me on our next one."

"We are back home now and feel like our trip to Ireland was a dream... From the beginning when we first booked to the end, the trip exceeded our expectations. From the itinerary, to the hotels, to the guides, this was perfection. Where do I start with Tim? He was knowledgeable, kind, encouraging, with a wicked sense of humor and has a great appreciation for adventure. He really made the trip memorable and one we will look back on years to come with a smile. Not only did we have some awesome hikes/walks we really learned SO much about Irish history. Tim always seemed to have a little surprise in store for us that was always so fun. I loved the picnics that we were able to enjoy due to such awesome weather. Between the stories, music and games while traveling the rides seem to go very quickly. Tim always had great recommendations of places to eat for lunch or dinner and were never a disappointment. We never felt rushed, and the timing really flowed well."

"I'm writing directly to you to express our gratitude and appreciation for the flexibility and creativity of your company in adjusting to my family's special circumstances. It was a pleasure to meet you on August 11 in the lobby of the Grand Canal Hotel. You very quickly introduced us to Bébhinn, one of the two fantastic guides who shepherded us around Ireland. You already know what a gem she is. There is nothing I can add. She was superb in every aspect of her duties. Denise had the difficult task of taking over in the middle of the trip. She was top-notch in every way as well. Both women were great story-tellers, and could continue talking through the hairiest traffic situations. Really professional drivers. Our thanks to everyone in your company who made our trip so memorable. We appreciate the changes... made to accommodate our grandson joining the tour in the middle. We have nothing but good things to say about the experience, and will say them to anyone who asks."

Vagabond Tours provided a flawless experience. Danielle (and others) answered all my questions leading up to the trip. Of course, being professionals, every detail was well-planned, check-ins at all the hotels was smooth, the itinerary was perfect for our needs and we learned a ton about Ireland. But, what took this experience over the top was our guide Tim Orr! He attended to our every need, even those we didn't think of, like arranging a special surprise birthday celebration and gift for my son. He knows and loves Ireland and his passion is infectious!

Everything we read about the trip on Vagabond's web site was completely accurate from: description of trip, what to pack, things to do on tour and in Dublin, off the beaten path etc. John was extremely helpful in reserving trip and the entire process was very easy. Rob would stay in touch via email in case you needed something. Our guide was Sarah and she was wonderful. Sarah made the tour special by improvising "the itinerary" based on what people wanted and on the weather. She made great adjustments without sacrificing any of the tour. Sarah gave great background information on various sights and always found a song to play that fit the occasion.

 Vagabond Tours does a great job explaining the difference between the 2 types of tours they offer - Driftwood is more low key, less strenuous and physically demanding, while their Vagabond experiences including activities like kayaking, horse riding, hiking etc. A Driftwood tour was the perfect activity level for seniors like my husband and I. Everything with Vagabond Tours was great from the booking experience, to the helpful advance emails explaining what to expect on the tour, to the tour itself. Our guide Damien made the experience wonderful for us - he was knowledgeable, very funny and very attentive to everyone's needs. Damien cleaned the van at the end of each day so we boarded a spotless van each morning.
