We were on the 11 day Driftwood tour, extremely pleased with it. From the scenery, to the hotels and food, it was just really fantastic. Our guide Tim was the best! From his funny stories, to local knowledge and history, he made the trip much more enjoyable and entertaining.

Thanks again for the wonderful review

I’m a return customer and had the privilege of having Tim on both last year 7 day and this years 11 day tour. He is a great guide and driver as there are some seriously narrow roads in Ireland. The north to south west tour gave a great introduction to sites I’d not seen and a chance to explore new ways to enjoy the sites we explored last year. Tim is a great resource for facts and folklore of each area we visited. I have no complaints only complaints for him. Wish the bus seats were a little bigger and there was a cup holder. Regarding suggestions for future tours would like to stay 2 nights in each stop for exploration. Hoping to come back next year for the vagabond tour now that I’ve been on two driftwood tours.

As a returning customer, thank you so much for choosing Vagabond Tours again and for taking the time to share your wonderful feedback about your recent tour.
Tim is indeed a fantastic driver guide. We're so grateful for the continuous effort he puts into every tour. We're pleased to know that Tim's expertise added to your tours experience.
We appreciate your feedback regarding the bus seats and the suggestion for future tours. We are always looking for ways to enhance our guests' comfort and experience.
We also appreciate your suggestion of spending an extra night in each stop for exploration. Although it is a great idea being able to see each destination a little longer, our priority is to make sure everyone sees as much of Ireland as possible in tight schedule. This is why we only stay in each hotel for the one night.
Thanks again for your wonderful review and we hope to see you back in Ireland again soon!

First, the booking team made everything very simple. We did a change by adding two days before the tour began and one day after. - (highly recommend this to accomodate to the time change and avoid rushing).

We absolutely loved our 11 day driftwood tour of Ireland! Our guide Andrew was so informative and showed his love for his country by all the many stories and tales he told. He went above his duties to make our trip so very enjoyable and could not say enough great stories about Vagabond. Our lodgings were excellent and the food was delicious. We did get a few above average days of warm weather and did miss having air condition in our hotel rooms. The beauty of Ireland is all around and we would highly recommend this tour for anyone who wishes to visit this country but also to learn the history and love for the Irish people.

The bonus - Vagabond Company values and focus on the environment.

Oh...we always thought wee people and giants were a myth, but Andrew said they are a fact, so it must be true.

We have just finished the 11 day driftwood tour with Andrew Duggan. What a trip, it was so much fun! Andrew went above and beyond to ensure everyone had a great experience and showcased the best of Ireland to us. Such an amazing man/ tour leader. What a stunning country - friendly people, great food and stunning scenery. The tour was seamless and we saw and experienced much more than we would have if we had done it independently. Our fellow passengers were fantastic. Cannot recommend vagabond/ driftwood more highly!

Fantastic fast paced trip of over 1000 miles with a great group of people & our fearless leader guide Shane!! Highly recommend Vagabond Tours. I took over 500 pictures, had great accommodations, good food and lots of songs and laughs!! Highly recommend taking the boat to see Skellig Michael too. Go early and explore Dublin for a couple days before the tour starts, you will be too tired afterwards!!!

Thank you for sharing your fantastic experience with us. It sounds like you had a memorable trip with lots of action and fun.
Shane is an excellent guide but even better leader. His ability to lead his guests around Ireland all while having the craic is what makes him so special.
The Skellig boat trip and exploring Dublin shows the amazing contrast of activities to do in Ireland.
We appreciate your recommendation and are honoured to have been a part of your adventure. Thanks again!
