7 Day Magnetic North Adventure Tour
"we enjoyed every aspect of our trip""
Review Image

Our second adventure with Vagabond did not disappoint!

The 7 day Magnetic North tour took us to many beautiful locations, including excellent historic and cultural visits.

Denise, our guide, brought Ireland to life with her stories and deep knowledge of historic Ireland through present day.

We enjoyed every aspect of our trip.

"what a great experience"
Review Image

Just finished a 7-day Magnetic North Tour with Vagabond.

This was my first time doing an organized tour versus planning activities on vacations myself. It was fabulous! There were 13 of us and the tour guide/driver (Eamonn). Eamonn was fantastic with his stories and keeping us on track.

My favorite day was the rope bridge hike and the Giant's Causeway hike.

The views were beautiful.

"everyday was magical"
Review Image

Every one of us should have the opportunity to walk into spaces that make us pinch ourselves and say β€œl can’t believe I’m here and seeing this.”We said that every day of this tour.

For adventure we had much to choose from! And the fact that I was able to choose the level of adventure that felt most comfortable to me was very welcome.

We had the pleasure of a good humored crew of fellow tour mates and we are forever grateful to our guide Hugh, who consistently was giving a 110% effort!

Driftwood 6 Day Great Southern Ireland Tour
"best way to experience ireland"
Review Image

I Experienced so much history and culture and saw some of the most beautiful places on earth.

Vagabond Tours takes care of all the details and the accommodations are spectacular. From Kinsale to Cobh through Midleton to Ballycotton, beaches and Waterford, Hook Peninsula, and Slade and Kilkenny and Wicklow.

The depth of knowledge and the love for his country was a huge part of these 6 days. Our driver guide was born and raised in Waterford and he truly made us feel a part of his world. He brought the history and culture home to us.

Vagabond is dedicated to the experience and it shows in all they do, insuring you enjoy the tour. You cannot go wrong on a Vagabond/Driftwood Tour

Driftwood 6 Day Great Southern Ireland Tour
"we can't wait to plan another trip to ireland"
Review Image

We took the 6 Day Great Southern Tour.

This trip included everything, small towns, cities, beaches, mountains, and lakes! We saw amazing views, ate good food, and enjoyed meeting and chatting with the locals.

Our guide, Shane, was great, extremely knowledgeable and taught us all about Irish history, culture, and music while we drove. He added in lots of fun stops along the way, like picnics, Hurling & Gaelic football lessons, and ice cream by the beach.

The pace of the itinerary was perfect for us, with group activities and tours every morning, and most days an opportunity to explore the different places we were staying on our own in the evening or afternoon.

We can't wait to plan another trip to Ireland. Thank you Shane and Vagabond for a great trip!

"definitely recommend vagabond tours"
Review Image

Our tour guide, Vaughan, was amazing on the Great Southern Tour.

He lived in the area so knew everything and more! The sites we visited were diverse and off the beaten path which I love.

There was time for exploring on our own but Vaughan was always great with suggestions.

I dont like big crowds, so I loved the small coach and great conversations we had during the drives re culture, education, economics and of course the history of Ireland.

Definitely recommend Vagabond Tours.
