TripAdvisor - 7 Day Magnetic North Tour

Trip Advisor Heading Image
"perfect small group tour"
Review Image

Perfect small group tour of Northern Ireland. The tour we chose, Magnetic North, had a great mix of sightseeing, cultural experiences and outdoor activities.

We didn't have to worry about a thing and everything went smoothly. The customer service and communication with us before the trip was prompt, professional and timely.

Definitely would use Vagabond Tours again.

"recommend vagabond to anyone"
Review Image

I am so glad I found Vagabond! We did the 7 Day Magnetic North Tour, and it was the perfect mix of outdoor adventure, cultural and historical highlights, and relaxing.

We were so well taken care of. Communication from the company was timely and thorough prior to departure. Our tour guide, Tadgh, was excellent!

I will recommend Vagabond to anyone considering a trip to Ireland.

"lifelong memories"
Review Image

My wife and I had a fabulous time on this tour and the trip exceeded our expectations.

We are fairly seasoned travelers, but this was our first trip to Ireland. This tour provided us a real feel/taste of the country. Hikes were spectacular.

All in all, a very memorable holiday with lifelong memories. Highly recommended and worth every penny.

"already planning our next trip"
Review Image

My wife and I agree that our vacation with Vagabond exceeded every expectation.

I'm always asked for my "highlight" of the tour and I can only say it was Denise and the other 13 people on our comfortable bus.

The landscape was stunning, the pubs were jumping, hotels were great, and we had beautiful weather. I highly recommend Vagabond and we are already planning our next trip.

Driftwood 6 Day Great Southern Ireland Tour
"magical tour"
Review Image

My wife and I just completed our first tour of Southern Ireland with Vagabond Tours.

To say this met our every expectation would be a gross understatement! The Mercedes van was comfortable, easily accommodating all, was immaculate and our guide Jason was humorous, knowledgeable and a wonderful driver.

Vagabond gets 5 stars from us and we will travel with them again!

Driftwood 6 Day Great Southern Ireland Tour
"trip of a lifetime"
Review Image

The trip was quite simply perfect.

Our guide was Michael, who was local to the area we traveled, and the breadth and depth of his knowledge of the area was staggering, as was his warmth and kindness.

The hotels where we stayed were in perfect locations, and the small bus allowed us to get to places inaccessible to larger buses.

We are already beginning to plan our next Vagabond trip.

Breakfasts

Each morning on tour you'll be served a delicious and filling hot Irish breakfast.

Yes, that means rashers and sausages. Toast and eggs. The whole shebang.

Often there's even more choice, like smoked salmon or whiskey-spiked porridge.

You'll need it too! All that adventuring builds serious appetites.

Activities

There are certain must-do activities that we feel no guest should miss.

That's why we've absorbed the costs for essential attractions.

Places like the Rock of Cashel, the Giant's Causeway and the Cliffs of Moher are on us.

Experiences like biking, kayaking and horse-riding happen on a 'pay-as-you-go' basis.

A Native Tree

We'll plant a native tree in Ireland every time you tour with us.

This helps offset the carbon emissions produced by our vehicles and long-haul aviation.

We also love how native Irish tree species promote biodiversity, fostering natural habitats for Irish insects, birds and mammals.
