Our family (with adult Children) just finished the 8 day Wild Irish tour with Eamonn as our guide - it was FANTASTIC! Eamonn was so fun, kind, knowledgeable and worked hard to give us the the best, customized experience. He took great care of all of us! Accommodations, food, pubs, music and activities were fantastic. All our expectations were exceeded. We loved the active part of the tour - all the walks, hikes, biking in Killarney National Park - plus members of group golfed, ocean kayaked and rode a horse. The weather was beautiful - amazing countryside and amiable people.
Hi Alice,
Thank you so much for your super 5 star review. We really appreciate it.
We're delighted you had a great time on tour with your family. Eamonn is a fantastic guide and a very important part of the team. It's great to hear the tour exceeded your expectations. We do our very best to go above and beyond for our guests. The best way to see Ireland is to get out and experience all aspects of it so we're happy you enjoyed your activities.
Thanks again for the great review. Hopefully we will see you again in the future.
Our 11 Day Discover Ireland Tour was fantastic and was first class from start to finish. Our tour guide Ciara was personable, knowledgeable, accommodating and so much fun to be with. The hotels were all varied and usually in smaller towns and included a delicious full Irish breakfast every morning. Lunch stops were at small local pubs and dinners were either at our hotel or on our own in the town we were staying. All in all a wonderful trip that I would highly recommend to anyone.
Hi Maggie,
Thanks a million for your 5 star review, we really appreciate it.

Thank you for your kind recommendation. Hopefully we will see you again soon.
Best trip of my life! Did not feel like a cattle tour in any way. Very personalized feel and guides were your best friend by the end of the tour. Places we saw and stayed were obviously the best in Ireland. Pics are just 10 of 1100 that I took.
Hi there,

Abbyglen Castle Hotel. Firstrate accomadations, The owner was entertaining and well versed on the castle and Clifden history.
dinner was awesome as well! The weather was very cooperative. only one rainy day, but bring a rain coat
Our guide, Sian, was wealth of information. She must have kissed the Blarney stone herself, as she always had a bit of the history of where we were. Non stop orator.
As this was our 50th aniversary, Vagabond left several surprise gifts along our stays, which we enjoyed and apprieciated.. The group size was only 13 people, all of who were very nice and first time travelerslike us
Hi Mike,

Thanks again for the great review and hopefully we will see you again soon.
I am so happy we decided to book a tour of Ireland with Vagabond Tours. We wanted the perks of being on a small group tour and being able to travel those narrow Irish roads to truly see "Ireland". Vagabond did not disappoint! Our guide Brian was so knowledgeable, funny, a great story teller and singer, his upbeat personality and knowledge of history made the trip one of the best tours I've had in Europe. It was so much fun to meet our fellow passengers, the friendly people of Ireland and especially loved talking to the locals in the pubs. Highlights included Blarney Castle and it's gardens, sheep dog demonstration and feeding the baby lambs, Healy Pass, horse drawn ride in Killarney National Park, and finally all of the pubs!
Tips to help enjoy your trip - pack light, get out of your comfort zone and immerse yourself in Ireland!
Hi Sherri, thanks very much for taking the time to leave a great 5 star review.
Small group is definitely the way to go, the fun is in the narrow roads! Getting off the beaten track is essential to see the real Ireland. The best thing about being on a small group tour is being able to sit back and relax while we take care of the details.
We're delighted you had a great time with Brian, he's a fantastic guide and a great addition to the Vagabond team. It's great to hear that you got on well with your fellow guests and mixed with the locals.
Thanks again and hopefully we'll get to see you again soon!
