11 Day Discover Ireland Tour
"incredible"
Review Image

We saw so many parts of Ireland that we would have never seen without going on the tour and everyday we were in awe of the beauty of Ireland.

On top of that, each day there were amazing activities (hiking, horseback riding, feeding baby lambs, etc.). Our family loved staying at the locally owned hotels. The accommodations each night were excellent. This was one of the most memorable experiences of our life. We fell in love with Ireland because of this tour.

11 Day Discover Ireland Tour
"the best vacation we have ever had"
Review Image

It was the BEST vacation we have ever had! Our guide was a comedian; a historian; a storyteller; a friend and a great person!

We haven't stopped talking about this trip since we came back. We are all introverts and enjoyed both the alone time and group time, it was a perfect combination. I can't say enough great things about this lovely company. We have never had such a great time on a vacation!

7 Day Irish Castles & Kingdoms Tour
"what a trip!"
Review Image

This is by far the best way to see Ireland. You get to visit so many different places, learn the history, all while someone else is navigating the small roads.

We hit the jackpot with our guide. Not only did she tell us all the history of Ireland, but she taught us about Irish music and even treated us to some of her own. Not only did we get an experience of a lifetime, but we walked away with new friends. If you are thinking of doing a tour, Vagabond is the company to choose.
