⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ "My 6 day Northern Ireland tour exceeded all my expectations... The tour guide, Sean, was exceptional... His knowledge, stories, humor and individual client interest made our small group feel like a family. Every hotel, tour stop, activity, restaurant offering never disappointed. The pace of each day was comfortable and allowed us to cover a lot of sites and towns easily... Remarkable value with high quality standards." Guest Review - September 2022

We just finished our awesome 6 Day Tour which included both the north of the Republic [of Ireland] and Northern Ireland.
The 6 days were each unique with variety of indoor and outdoor activities (waterfalls, castles, walking tours, titanic museum).
The small group size was perfect. I felt very secure for health safety and was able to have my first real vacation since the pandemic.
Our guide Sean was knowledgeable, with great stories and kept us on time and entertained.

Our trip was wonderful, I highly recommend Vagabond Tours.
Sean, our guide, was very knowledgeable and shared some great stories. The accommodations booked were outstanding. The trip exceeded our expectations. The Irish food was delicious.
It was nice to have someone do all the driving on the left.
We saw more of the Irish island with Vagabond, than if we had been on our own.

We just completed our second tour with Vagabond... We had such a great time on our first trip... that we knew there was no other way to see Ireland...
The knowledge and professionalism of their tour guides is the difference between other groups and Vagabond.
Sean did a fantastic job of making sure that everyone was comfortable and happy on the trip (our group was 11 people in all.) This was truly the trip of a lifetime...
If you are looking for a small-group tour, you will not find anything better than Vagabond.

A hot shower after a woodland stroll. A real fire. A pint. We assure you that wherever you stay with us, you’ll love it.
We put great effort into selecting accommodation on Driftwood tours. Your tour will overnight in locally-owned establishments (in some cases for generations). Receive a heartfelt welcome, often from the hoteliers themselves. No hotel chains here!
Situated in the heart of the Moy Valley on the banks of the River Moy, the 4 star Mount Falcon Estate and Hotel offers 100 acres of magical woodlands. The Estate is perfectly located for exploring The Wild Atlantic Way. Originally constructed as a wedding gift, this Victorian Gothic manor house exudes understated elegance and is widely recognised as the most romantic house in Ireland.
The Abbey Hotel is located in the centre of historic Donegal town in Ireland’s northwest. This is a wonderful base to enjoy the beautiful northwest region with Vagabond & Driftwood Tours. Take a stunning coastal drive, explore nearby beaches and other amazing sights along the Wild Atlantic Way touring route. We highly recommend a visit to Slieve League, the highest accessible sea cliffs in Europe, only a stone’s throw away along Donegal’s rugged coast line.
Overlooking the famous Guildhall, Shipquay Hotel lies at the heart of Derry/Londonderry in Northern Ireland. Shipquay is a 5 storey Italianate-style listed heritage building, dating back to 1895. Enjoy contemporary bedrooms, many with views over the city’s famous 400-year-old walls. It’s the perfect base when you tour Derry/Londonderry.
They say location is everything, and if so Ballygally Castle has it all! Sitting proudly on the scenic Antrim coast, the 400 year old castle is the only 17th century building still used as a residence in Northern Ireland today. This 4 star hotel has recently undergone major refurbishment and is one of the finest hotel on the famous Causeway Coastal Route. Its tasteful contemporary décor, combined with the traditional character of the hotel, adds to the welcoming atmosphere.
The Cuan has been in the heart of Strangford village since the early 1800s. It is a unique hotel in a stunning setting. The immediate area is a delight to explore and is home to beautiful sandy beaches that are perfect for a relaxing stroll at the end of the day.
