11 Day Discover Ireland Tour
"more than i ever imagined"
Review Image

My siblings and I have dreamed about visiting Ireland for as long as I can remember!

Because we were a "small group" we had flexibility! to get there in place of another possible location!

There was so much beautiful scenery that honestly we.had ever imagined possible! The Wild Atlantic Way, Healy Pass, Slea Head Drive with lovely patchwork quilt hillsides dotted with grazing sheep! And ALL of this from a comfortable, roomy bus with an experienced driver/guide maneuvering those hills and narrow, winding roads safely!

Our most wonderful fortune came with our tour guide, Shane Kelly! What a gift to our family and dear friends!
Shane was incredibly knowledgeable about Irish history and geography and had a fantastic informative delivery!! He was so personable, witty, understanding and compassionate! He truly took excellent care of us!

This trip--30 years in wishing it to happen- turned out to be more than we ever dreamed it could be thanks to Vagabond Driftwood Discover Ireland 11-day tour

"we had an amazing time"
Review Image

We just returned home from our 11 day private Driftwood tour and we absolutely could not have had a better experience!

We could not have had a better guide, Shane was the absolute best! Not only did he know so much about Ireland's history, he was so funny, easy to chat with and had a great playlist!

Our days were full of fun and adventure and we saw so much more than we ever could have asked for. Shane even taught our group a little bit about gaelic football and hurling, which was just icing on the cake!

I was so sad to go home at the end of the tour, but we have so many memories that will last a lifetime!

The bus was also comfortable, clean and rather spacious!

I'm so glad we decided to go with Vagabond!

"the best vacation"
Review Image

The McQuillan Clan took on Ireland and had the most exceptional trip largely due to our very fun, kind, knowledgeable guide/driver Steve Blount.

We saw some of the most beautiful sights throughout the entire country and it was definitely the trip of a lifetime!

Thank you is not even close to a proper expression of gratitude to Vagabond and especially to Steve.

I 100% recommend Vagabond to anyone who is considering a tour of the beautiful country of Ireland!!
