"thank you, vagabond"
Review Image

We arrived home with many memories from our 12-day Wild Coasts and Clover tour with Vagabond.

We chose this tour because the itinerary included several two-night stays, thus enabling us to more fully explore an area.

We were so fortunate to have Paddy as our guide. During our drives he provided lessons in Irish history, geography, lore, traditions, and superstitions, all accompanied by Irish music.

Thank you to Vagabond and Paddy for providing a terrific twelve days.

"fabulous experience"
Review Image

This was our second Driftwood tour and we were not disappointed!

Our tour guide DENISE was wonderful. She kept the tour fun and exciting.

The tour is well planned and thought out and it was nice to have the 2 night stays in 4 different places which cut down on packing and gave us a chance to experience those towns.

This tour company has it together!

"ireland is enchanting"
Review Image

The 12 Day Wild Coasts & Clover Tour was an absolute delight!

In a small group of 12 , our guide Denise negotiated the picturesque Irish country roads that only accommodate smaller vehicles so we benefited from vistas and experiences large bus groups could never access.

The vehicle was comfortable, the accommodation excellent, and the outstanding itinerary was even further enhanced by surprise extras.

Ireland is enchanting and Vagabond ensures it remains in your heart even when you return home.

"it gets better and better"
Review Image

This was my eighth tour with Vagabond.

I just finished the 7 Day Magnetic North Adventure Tour. Each tour I’ve done it just keeps getting better.

Every guide is fantastic, they each have their own perspective on Ireland so you get the insight of a local. Because Vagabond is a small tour group you go places where those large buses cannot go.

If you want to see Ireland, I would highly recommend a tour with Vagabond Irish tours.

My husband and I had the most fantastic time touring Northern Ireland with Vagabond Tours!

I can't say enough about the magical experience. From start to finish everything was seamless. Vagabond thinks of everything to make your experience special.

We loved that Vagabond chose small, family businesses to support! Our trip was one we will always remember!

The best guided tour I have ever been on!

This was my second trip with Vagabond because this first trip made me fall in love with Ireland. The itinerary, the guide, the accommodations, the group size were all perfect for a close up, active tour of Ireland.

It would have been hard to have this level of experience on a larger bus or a self guided tour.

"a truly memorable experience"
Review Image

Our 12 day tour of Ireland was absolutely one of the best travel experiences my husband and I have ever had!

The itinerary, accommodations, unique experiences and amazing guide exceeded all our expectations.

The opportunities we had as a small group to visit a harp maker, a sheep farmer and a castle owner in their homes were incredible and we learned so much about Irish history and culture from our guide and these experiences.

Would highly recommend a Vagabond Tour to anyone interested in truly experiencing Ireland!!

"i doubt i will ever visit a more beautiful place""
Review Image

I just returned from the 12 Day Vagabond Giant Irish Adventure Tour with Guide Danny, and I honestly can’t say enough good things about the experience.

Our VagaGuide Danny was simply outstanding. His knowledge of Irish history, culture, landscapes, and local people never ceased to amaze me.

Ireland’s beauty is, of course, beyond words. While Vagabond and Danny can’t take credit for the landscapes themselves, they absolutely deserve praise for how the experience is curated and tailored to each group.

This trip exceeded my expectations in every way. Highly recommend!

"worth every penny"
Review Image

I would recommend this trip for anyone wanting to see as much of Ireland as you can, explore ancient ruins, forests, hike the cliffs, mountains and valleys.

Everywhere you looked, the views were beautiful.

Our tour guide Danny was the best!. He was always upbeat, quick witted and informative.

I feel very blessed to have done this tour and will never forget the excellent time I had. It was the trip of a lifetime and worth every penny.

"one of the best travel experiences of my life""
Review Image

We got to see the beautiful Cliffs of Moher, Killarney National Park. Burren national Park, take a ferry across the mouth of Shannon drive.

In a small vehicle versus a big tour bus we got to drive along the Slea head. We went to a working sheepdog farm that was amazing of course on the way back to Dublin we stopped in Blarney to kiss the Stone and see the Blarney castle.

I highly recommend back on tours I only wish they were in other countries as well.

We did the 5 Day Edge of the World tour and it was amazing!!

My husband and I had the best time and I will recommend this company/tour to all of my friends and family!

The pace was great, accommodations were nice, we saw many pieces of Ireland. You can tell that this company cares and puts a lot of thought/resources into their tours.

Our guide Shane was the BEST and juggled many different activities/pit stops for our group. Communication was stellar. He’s a legend!

Overall, 10/10 experience!

We went on The Vagabond 7 Day World Tour of Ireland.

This was my first group tour and it was a great experience.

The tour was very well curated: this made for a trip that was both relaxing and busy.

We were able to see and do more in a day on this trip than if we had been traveling on our own.

We thoroughly enjoyed our 7 Day Vagabond World Tour of Ireland. 

Our guide Eamonn was a wealth of knowledge on the history and folklore of Ireland. Every day we had fascinating stories to go with the amazing scenery!

The side trips were incredible, from riding bikes through Killarney Park, the amazing boat ride around the Skellig Islands, the bay of Dingle and Kenare. Every town was so unique an fun to explore the pubs and listen to Irish music.

This was a bucket list item and Vagabond was truly unique and exceeded our expectations.

We felt like family at the end of our 7 day World Tour of Ireland.
