The Vagabond experience was wonderful. It is the perfect size for a small tour group. The guide was friendly and knowledgeable and the accommodations quaint and charming.

Amazing adventure!! We thoroughly enjoyed the experience. Our guide Ciara was knowledgeable and fun to be with. We saw parts of this incredible country that even some of its residents have never seen. Absolutely incredible scenery and landscapes .... expect @ least 10k steps/day.
Great seafood to be found almost everywhere we went. Would highly recommend this trip!

Hello Marianne, our 8 Day Wild Irish Rover tour was nominated as Trip of a Lifetime by National Geographic - so you picked a good one! You will have to come back in September for all the Oyster festivals if you like seafood. Thank you for your review. Rob Rankin, Owner.

What could I possibly add to the rest of the stellar reviews?

This was our first ever group tour. We are independent travelers but, when husband refused to drive on the right again (he did in Scotland, England and Wales on prior trips), we had two options - join a tour or give up on Ireland. It was very important to me to find a small group tour which would have my must-see sites covered. I picked Driftwood 11 day tour after extensive research.

We had a nice group of 16 comprised of a range of ages. Our guide Damien was a sweetheart: friendly, super attentive and caring, but also very knowledgeable. It was hard to say good bye.

I highly recommend this tour to anyone on the fence about an organized tour.

Hello Anna, thank you for such a super review - we like to think we offer guided tours with a difference, offering lots of independence and choice. Great to hear you felt this on our tour. We will be sure to tell Damien you say hello, he is super, as are all our guides. We have the best team out on the road and in the office. Maybe we will see you again in Ireland, very glad to hear you didnt give up. Rob Rankin, Owner.

My friend and I went on the 12 Day Tour with Dar Ran and it was fantastic! He taught us history and played an assortment of Irish music while driving us to our activities. We loved the hiking, the cliffs, the horse-back riding on the beach, the kayaking, the castles, the stone circles, the musicians, and the local people! Wait! I forgot to mention the amazing places we stayed and the food! I would highly recommend Vagabond Tours...For any age and activity level!

Hello Suzi - love your title! It sounds like you really did do Ireland and packed in all the activities on offer on our 12 Day Giant Irish Adventure tour! Irish food is amazing and people dont always believe us, so thank you for the recommendation. We hope to see you again one day soon. Regards, Rob Rankin, Owner.

First trip to Ireland, first-ever tour, we were a bit skeptical. Couldn't have been more pleased! LOVED our guide Sean who provided great local history, a laid back style, wit and humor, and excellent driving skills! Superior service, perfect small hotel choices, felt very non-touristy. Did and saw things we would never have planned. Stayed busy but had good amount of free time. Couldn't recommend it more. Very easy and fun way to travel, especially through Ireland!

Hello Julie, I hope it won't be your last trip to Ireland. We go off the beaten track at Vagabond on all our tours and with our Vagabond Cultural Adventure tours we go off road too :-) Sean is a wealth of knowledge and great fun. Thank you for your review. Rob Rankin, Owner.
