Our guides were Dave and Andrew- both able to entertain and drive in expert fashion answering all questions great and small and able to pivot quickly with changes in weather and activities- saw big attractions and true Irish living and culture- spectacular views and amazing people

If you want to get a first hand view of the best that Ireland has to offer, this is DEFINITELY the way to go. Every stop was fantastic, the drivers are amazing and full of information that enhances the experience, and even the drives were so picturesque that they left one feeling completely fulfilled while still wanting more. This tour exceeded expectations in every way. We are already planning our next Ireland visit with a longer Vagabond tour experience. Our drivers, Dave and Andrew, made us feel like welcomed guests while confidently navigating the narrow roads and hilly terrain. They saw to our travel needs and made the trip that much more magical. Thank you!!!

My husband and I had the pleasure of taking the 7-day Driftwood tour a couple of weeks ago. Our guides were Darran and Paddy. Both guides knew about all the places we visited and were genuinely nice to talk with. While it's a scheduled tour, they gave us the opportunity to make additional stops to see more sights if the time allowed. We never felt rushed or that we missed anything because of time, but more time in Galway would have been better. It was so nice to have your time in Ireland planned out, and you can let someone else do all the driving. I could take a nap or talk with my fellow travelers! This tour allows you to see the beautiful countryside and historical sights and time for shopping. The nightly accommodations are charming, clean, and comfortable. I don't think we had a bad meal while in Ireland, either. The people of Ireland are so kind and make you feel very welcome. I returned home and immediately told all my family and friends about this tour company. Schedule with them. They are the best!!

I find it difficult to express how amazing the 11 Day Driftwood tour was. Andrew, our guide, took such good care of everyone and was funny and kind and knowledgable. We even had a 2nd guide, David, for part of our tour so we were doubly well taken care of. The group was perfect. I enjoyed that the group was small enough to get to know each other and to enjoy each other throughout the tour. We saw so many beautiful sights. The hotels were all wonderful! The food was excellent. The sights were fabulous. And Andrew was absolutely the best! I literally loved everything about this tour. Thank you Vagabond! This tour was everything I hoped and so much more!

The eleven day Driftwood Discover Ireland tour was more than I expected. We visited so many places and took so many photos. Our guide was the best, he went above and beyond many times to ensure we had a great time. The hotels were great. Definitely want to do another tour with Vagabond.

Fab.U.lous! Good craic indeed with Tony as our fearless guide. This was an active adventure rain or shine. Beautiful landscapes, heartfelt history and fast friends were made. Highly recommend!

Wow is an understatement. Words cannot express how wonderful this tour, our guide Danny and Vagabond Tours made our bucket list and best vacation ever happen

I never thought I would fall in love with Ireland and its people, but our 7-day Driftwood Treasure Island tour of southern and western Ireland sealed the deal! We loved exploring the countryside on the backroads and going where the big tour buses couldn’t go. Yet, we still were able to see major sites like the Cliffs of Moher and were given plenty of time to explore on our own. The inns and hotels were all excellent and we were welcomed warmly by the owners at the smaller inns when we arrived. Breakfasts were awesome! But, the best part was sharing our journey with our guides, Darran & Paddy. They were so informative, friendly and genuinely had the skill and compassion to take good care of all 15 of us. I would choose to do the trip all over with no changes!!!

We had a fabulous tour with Jason on the 11 day Driftwood Discover Ireland Tour. It was everything we could have hoped for after planning to go to Ireland for the past two years. Everything was planned out for us, the hotels were wonderful, food was great. Jason gave us plenty of information, without being too much. Our group of 13 got along great- we had so much fun. This is the way to tour- small group, off the beaten path- I’d go again in a heartbeat!

Great experience. Nice accommodations. We definitely hit the highlights. Our Guide, Damien, was knowledgeable and a fun, engaging personality. A great value for a tour we’ll never forget!

This tour was amazing! Our guide, Brendan, was fantastic! He was extremely knowledgeable about Ireland's history, and very entertaining. The weather didn't always cooperate, but Brendan always had options when we couldn't do one of the planned activities. I can't wait to go back!

This tour goes to Northern Ireland and northern areas of Ireland. Our guide was Andrew - he has a great sense of humor, took us to some places you would never see if you were travelling with a large group, shared many great stories and folklore, and took great care of our group. My favorite places that we visited were the Causeway Coast and Slieve Leage Cliffs. If you are an active person, Vagabond is a great way to go. We did some great hikes and saw a lot of beautiful countryside. All of the hotels were nice; the best accommodation being Mount Falcon Estate. This was my third Vagabond tour and I look forward to doing more. I like the small group size and the single supplement is reasonable, unlike some travel companies that charge far more for a solo traveler.

I went on a specifically designed 15 day tour from Kamloops, BC Canada. We began our tour with Brian from Dublin into Northern Ireland, into western coast of Westport. Our second half of tour was with Glen. The whole tour was amazing! There wasn’t a bad day and that’s including the weather. Both tour guide/drivers were knowledgeable with local history and historical facts. Their sense of humour was endearing. Our group came from one city except for one who used to live in Kamloops and now resides on Vancouver Island. We always were ready to go in the morning for the next adventure. I can’t name just one place to be my favourite but the beautiful bog and the coastline were my favourites…and there are the colourful buildings in the towns, the live pub entertainment. This was truly an amazing adventure!

When you book a tour you have expectations on what you would like to see and experience, all I can say is our Driftwood Tour, guided by Brian Barry exceeded our expectations is every way. Brian's knowledge and stories/history he shared made any travel time fly by! He took us to historical sites, but his side trips to unique sites on the backroads of Ireland added so much to the tour. Some of the hotels we stayed at were at beautiful country settings, if we stayed in town they were located in perfect locations. One highlight was the sheep dog demonstration - so enjoyable to watch the dogs show there skill! Ireland is such a beautiful country!! And lastly, maybe a little thing, but we were able to have our laundry done at two locations in Dingle and Clifden which was perefect timeing. We went with 8 other friends and we would all highly recommend booking a Vagabond Driftwood tour!!!

You’ll never find a better tour of Ireland. Our guide was Danny, who drove the 12 of us to wonderful places. He was funny, considerate, extremely knowledgeable, energetic, thoughtful, and an amazing driver over terrain of all sorts. My iPhone is packed with photos of gorgeous sights. He avoided touristy places insofar as possible and adjusted plans to every change in weather. We enjoyed great breakfasts, good Irish music, castles, wild ocean cliffs, and excellent history of Ireland and the Troubles.
