In the 11 Day Discovery Driftwood tour, we saw the most beautiful parts of that wonderful country. The expected sites but also some off the usual path places that I fell in love with. I also loved the fact that we did not stay in "chain" hotels so the service was much more personal. The service of this company is outstanding. Anybody and everybody I communicated with was superb and very quick to respond. Our guide Tim Orr was the best guide I ever had on any of my trips and I travel a lot. All the people of that country made an imprint on me. Go to Ireland, it's worthed.
Hi Mariette,
Thanks very much for taking the time to leave a great 5 star review, we really appreciate it.
It's so important to get off the beaten track to see the real Ireland as well as the larger tourist sites. The beauty of the small group means we can take you to these places along with the fabulous smaller hotels and guest houses. We're delighted to hear you had a great time with Tim, he's a fantastic guide and huge part of the team.
Thanks again and hopefully we'll get to see you again soon!
My husband and I booked the 11 Day Ireland Driftwood tour that covered the entire Island in a leisurely laid back style during May 2022. We highly recommend this tour and company for many reasons.
First, the tour itself covered many differing areas, from city to town to country and back again. Ireland's beauty and unique/rich history was on open display and we found all activities of equal merit. Our hotels also showed varied styles and reflected each area just as did the cuisine. We booked a few extra days in Dublin because it is not on the itinerary and highly suggest doing so to take in many interesting sites.
Secondly, traveling with Covid threats may seem ridiculous but Vagabond sterilized the van each morning, masks were available as well as hand sanitizer. We were asked to keep masks on at all times within the van, sanitize during each re-entry and windows were open to provide circulation. We weren't surprised when our required Covid tests were negative for a return to the USA.
Lastly, our tour leader Tim Orr, has a wonderful sense of humor, an in-depth knowledge of Ireland and is an excellent driver. He catered to all 13 passengers needs in what seemed to be an effortless manner belying the hard work behind the scenes. He's a joyful master of many delightful stories and I can honestly say he deserves to be called a legend. I know from other friends who booked with Vagabond that all of the staff is as personable and professional as Tim.

This was our first multiple day tour so when we starting searching we knew we didn’t want to be on a huge bus with lots of people. We couldn’t have made a better choice then Vagabond. Both our guides Brian and Mark were just wonderful! They were personable, had great sense of humor, they were very informative and their singing was top notch!! 😀
We loved the fact that we were able to go places that larger groups couldn’t we met so many amazing local people and stayed at some great places-even a castle!
We had a great group of just 15 people so we were able to get to know each other which was wonderful!!
Kudos to Vagabond!!

Hi Kathleen & Guy,
Thanks very much for taking the time to leave a great 5 star review, we really appreciate it.
Small group is definitely the way to go. We wouldn't be able to get off the beaten track with a large bus and where's the fun in that! We're delighted you were happy with your choice and enjoyed your time with Brian & Mark. Our guides are very passionate about what they do and we are very proud of them.
It's great to hear you got on well with your group, we always say it feels like family towards the end of the trip.
Thanks again and hopefully we'll get to see you again soon!
As American citizens, we decided that driving on the left side of the road, navigating, and trying to enjoy the scenery was not the way we wanted to tour Ireland. We are so glad we chose Vagabond to introduce us to Ireland. Having only 14 people on our tour allowed us the opportunity to customize the stops, ask questions along the way and get to know our fellow passengers. We enjoyed both of our guides, Darien and Andrew. Both guides were raised in Ireland and shared an amazing amount of history and personal stories. We especially enjoyed stops at the sheep farm, our stay at the castle, the drive along Slea Head, and of course the Blarney Castle and Cliffs of Moher. So many photo ops! Many roads are narrow and winding so we were very happy to leave the driving to the pros. Don't hesitate to book with Vagabond!
Hi there,
Thanks very much for taking the time to leave an amazing 5 star review, we really appreciate it.
That's the beauty of small group tours! You get to sit back, relax and enjoy your vacation. We're delighted you enjoyed your time with both Darran and Andrew, they are fantastic guides. Our guides are super passionate about Ireland and want you to leave loving it as much as we do. It's great to hear you enjoyed all of your stops. It's important to head off the beaten track to see the real Ireland as well as the bigger more touristy areas.
Thanks again, we hope to see you again soon!
What an amazing trip that exceeded my wife & my expectations. Beautiful country and friendly people. The guides were very knowledgable and friendly. The airline lost my wife's luggage & I'm convinced we would have never seen it if not for Vagaguide Darin. Guide Andrew gave us a personal tour one morning before everyone woke up. What a great sense of humour.If you go to Ireland, go Vagabond!
