October Tour Reviews

Trip Advisor Heading Image
7 Day Treasure Ireland Tour
"best experience i've ever had"
Review Image

If you want a fantastic experience that shows you real people and places, along with the popular, choose Vagabond.

Our Driftwood trip included great accommodations, a superb guide (thank you Danny), a fun small group and more locations than we could have done on our own.

A unique tour company in a beautiful country.

 

GUEST, OCTOBER 2025
11 Day Driftwood Discover Ireland
"best way to visit ireland"
Review Image

We thoroughly enjoyed our 11-day Discovery tour of the entire island of Ireland.

Learning about the history and lore of Northern Ireland and the Republic of Ireland, seeing the amazing natural wonders, and meeting the people of Ireland was everything we hoped.

The vehicle was very comfortable, and all of the hotels were top notch. Our guide, Aidan, was excellent and a fantastic driver.

I would travel with Vagabond again!

8 Day Jigs & Reels Music Tour of Ireland
"book with vagabond"
Review Image

Participated in the Jigs and Reels Tour.

If you want to hear, learn about and participate in the joy of Irish music, then this is the tour to take. The small group means that you get to go places that others can't. You get to know everyone on the tour.

Every day was a new musical experience from Trad music to Button Accordion to Harp making and lots of evening music in the pubs. Once you conclude this tour, you will be looking for another one with Vagabond!

Included On All Tours

A VagaGuide

Your tour will be fully guided by one of our VagaGuides.

That means you'll enjoy the company and services of your very own, highly-trained, local tour guide.

VagaGuides are storytellers, historians and — sometimes, if you ask nicely — even singers, poets and musicians.

They are also trained to be outstanding drivers, safely steering your Irish journey.

Border between sections
Full Days

We believe in providing outstanding value.

It might seem obvious but a 7 day Vagabond tour will comprise 7 full days.

We pick you up at 8am on the first day and say goodbye by 6pm on the last.

Your tour will be fully-guided and your departure is fully-guaranteed by us from the moment two guests are booked.

Border between sections
All Hotels

Your tour includes pre-booked accommodation in our favourite, high quality hotels.

We put great effort into selecting locally-owned accommodation at Vagabond & Driftwood Tours.

Hospitality, locally-sourced food and an authentically warm welcome are all on the menu!

Border between sections
Breakfasts

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

Yes, that means bacon 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.

Border between sections
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.

Border between sections
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.

🤫 Secret Booking Tip

Would you like to save even more money?

Top Tip: Book a mid-week flight for extra savings. Extra time in Dublin will also help with lingering jetlag before your fun starts on tour!

Now that's clever!
