"the best of ireland"
Review Image

Traveling in comfort with such a wonderful guide and only 13 other passengers got us into places I had never even dreamed about.

The cliffs, megalithic sites, food suggestions, shopping and pub opportunities, as well as down time if needed were outstanding.

There were choices, so everyone in our group could have the trip of a lifetime!

We were expecting a lot after Vagabond was referred from a friend......but it was beyond any expectations!

We do not have ONE not one concern or complaint. We had the trip of a lifetime.

New friends were made, fun was had and memories to last a lifetime. We love you Ireland but we love you too Vagabond. Your tour itinerary was perfect.

Vagabond was outstanding and helping people to truly experience Ireland.

Our guide, Shane could not have been more wonderful! He was safe, fun, and related so well with all of us!!

We will never forget this beautiful country and the lovely people we shared it with! I couldn’t recommend Vagabond more highly.

Why Visit Ireland in Summer?

No Crowds

Enjoy Ireland Without The Crowds

Unlike other parts of mainland Europe in summer, you are unlikely to experience too many queues and crowds in Ireland.

We have timed our itineraries perfectly to ensure that all of our guests will enjoy exploring ancient sites and incredible cultural experiences without the crowds.

Long Days

The Sun Sets at 11pm

Due to our high-up northern hemisphere position, our summer sunsets are long and lingering. During the summer, Ireland glows from her heart on the horizon — some of the most breathtaking scenes around.

We have long days and short nights. The sun rises at 5am and sets at 11pm. Plenty of time for exploring!

Weather

Avoid The Extreme Heat

We have a pleasant, but not overly hot summer. With an average high of 19°C (66°F) Ireland escapes the heatwaves of mainland Europe.

Perfect weather for journeys over mountain passes, horse-riding along deserted beaches, and exploring the Wild Atlantic Way.

Traffic-Free routes

Enjoy Stress Free Driving

We go off the beaten path as we explore Ireland, avoiding queues and tailbacks. Unearth a side of Ireland you would not experience on an ordinary bus tour.

Although sometimes we do come across the odd animal traffic warden....
