5 Day Edge of the World Tour
"one of the best travel experiences"
We had an incredible experience on the Vagabond 5-day "Edge of the World" tour with our amazing guide Eamonn!!
I can't recommend the experience highly enough - this was hands down one of the best travel experiences of my life.
The tour was packed, but also well-paced to allow for exploration and reflection. We loved the people on our tour group! And we appreciated all the work and planning that Eamonn and everyone on the Vagabond team put into making this once-in-a-lifetime experience unforgettable.

7 Day World Tour
"exceptional experience"
My daughter and I took the Vagabond 7 Day World Tour in June 2025.
We had a ball! We rode horses, kayaked, boated, biked, and hiked.
We traveled with three other families that we had not met before the trip.
Steve, our tour guide, coordinated the groups activities based on our desires. His knowledge of Ireland's history, emphasis on togetherness and fun resulted in an exceptional experience for all of us!

8 Day Wild Irish Rover Tour
"excellent value"
It was fantastic!
I went on the 8 Day Vagabond Wild Irish Rover Tour to celebrate a milestone birthday with my sister.
The destinations, the hiking and optional activities, and the accommodations all exceeded my expectations.
Our guide, Vaughan, was great, effectively navigating windy, wild narrow roads as well as he did all the 10 different personalities on the tour. From someone who has travelled to Ireland on her own a few times before, this is an excellent value.
