Great Trip
Our tour guide was awesome, very knowledgeable about all the places we went and also had a great sense of humor.
Pam Sartain, 3rd Oct 2024
To anyone thinking about visiting Ireland for the first time.
To anyone thinking about visiting Ireland for the first time, I recommend this tour. The brands Vagabond and Driftwood are different in the level of physical activity. We being in our 60’s decided on the less physically demanding Driftwood tour. What a great time!
Thomas Baird, 3rd Oct 2024
Had a wonderful experience with Vagabond Driftwood tour
Had a wonderful experience with Vagabond's Wild Atlantic Way Driftwood tour led by guide Philip. The group was friendly and fun, the van was comfortable, and Philip was a high-energy raconteur who literally got everyone singing along to old favorites as we drove over hill and dale. The Driftwood tour, though not technically "active," was still quite active, although Philip was quick to offer alternatives to those who felt a little tired or physically challenged. He was also expert at timing the tour so we generally arrived at major sites just before the big busses rolled up - or just after. The hotels were all fine, many with real character or a personal touch, and three had wonderful views - but do expect the occasional ban…

"amazing time"
Review Image

Our group enjoyed the 8 day driftwood tour. It was a great combination of historical sights, landscapes, cultural experiences and cities for shopping & pubs.

We got to experience a variety of places to stay, too, & even a castle hotel.

We had an amazing time & would highly recommend this tour!

"you've found the right company"
Review Image

If you are reading this you’ve found the right company and approach for touring this beautiful country.

We made the right call for marital harmony and stress reduction by choosing Vagabond and not “rolling our own roadtrip”, in a rental car.

I would not hesitate to use Vagabond for a future trip.
