What an amazing trip!!! Our guides Dave and Damien were so much fun and really brought Ireland alive for us. They shared local sayings, customs, stories and history that just wouldn't be the same read from a book!
Before booking this trip, I considered driving the route myself. I now know that would have been terrifying and exhausting! Leave the driving to the professionals so you can fully enjoy the gorgeous scenery.
Thanks for 15 days of beautiful scenery, lots of laughs, and my newfound love of Ireland!

Thank you for taking the time to share your review.

We are delighted to hear that you had a wonderful time on your recent All Ireland Tour. Dave and Damien are both incredible guides and it is great to know that they played a role in making your experience extra special. They are filled with so much knowledge of Ireland and they love being able to share it with our guests.

Ireland's country roads can be very tricky. Our driver guides are well trained to ensure our guests have a stress free and relaxing experience.

Thank you once again for the review and we hope to see you again soon!

This 11 day tour was an eye popping, eye opening experience. Eye popping because Ireland is magnificent! Our masterful guide Shane, maneuvered us through mountains and valleys, cliffs, lakes, sheep farms, castles, cities and lovely lodgings, with ease, knowledge and humor.
Eye opening, because I had never traveled on a tour before, no less traveling solo. What I found, were people who blended in a magical way, making it clear that strangers are just friends you haven't yet met.
Thank you one and all!

From booking the tour to being on tour, everyone at Vagabond was friendly and professional. Our tour guide, Denise, was such a great storyteller! I learned so much about Ireland. The hotels that Vagabond booked for us were first class but all were a bit different, some off the beaten path. I would highly recommend Vagabond for anyone visiting Ireland. I look forward to traveling there again but hope I can take a longer tour next time.

Thank you Vagabond, Denise and Paddy for the best vacation I've ever had! Slan!

We had the most amazing trip with Paddy as our guide on the Vagabond 7 Day World Tour of Ireland. This was an action-packed adventure with just the right mix of group activities and time on your own to explore. When high winds one day and rain another caused us to miss some activities, Paddy provided alternative activities and then added some extras once the weather turned better. Our 9 year-old son was the only child in the group but Paddy (and our fellow travelers) made him feel welcome and included throughout the trip. Top notch service and an unforgettable experience! Highly recommend!
