Vagabond & Driftwood Tours of Ireland Reviews 

Brian was a fantastic guide. He met everyone’s needs. Very knowledgeable on all the areas we went to. All of the hikes were great.

The trip was first class.Sara was wonderful. It was the trip of a lifetime. This is with out a doubt the best tour I have ever taken.

Everything was great. All of the hotels were great. There was only one hotel that had a bed that was too small and uncomfortable. This hotel was called The Moorhing. The rest of the hotels had super comfortable beds. All of the activities were great. Our guide Brian Barry was outstanding!He was so informative, knowledgeable, and funny and had great suggestions.

This was my first trip to Europe and first going solo. Your professional emails were enthusiastic and helped me navigate things like What's App and Photo circle. Every day was a new and educational experience with a great group of people. I have told other ladies to book through Vagabond / Driftwood. Easy peasy!

Reservations were easy. Pickup for tour was smooth. Brian was an awesome tour guide. The tour was fun and amazing!

From the service to the itinerary and our amazing guide Philip, everything was top notch!

Vagabond tours is a great tour company.. our guide was fantastic and so knowledgeable..

Fabulous tour start to finish. Booking was easy and their website had an answer to every question you might have about Ireland. The tour itself was amazing. Loved the great mix of touring and activity on the Vagabond tour. Being able to experience the wild Atlantic and amazing views from the various hikes was exhilarating. Only drawback was that in some spots did not arrive early enough to fully enjoy the town/hotel we were staying in. The overall pace of the trip was excellent however. The small group was also wonderful as we were in smaller vehicles and able to explore corners of Ireland less travelled by the larger tourist buses.

Our guide Brian was wonderful. I loved to hear all about the sites and his stories. The one day it was really raining and he pivoted, taking us 2 very interesting sites which we could enjoy in spite of the rain. Trip of a life time!

Rob Rankin has put together an AMAZING 12 day tour of his beautiful island! We were able to go places we could never have known about had we not taken this tour. We prepped for this active tour by picking up the pace of our hiking here at home in North Carolina. A relatively flat place to train compared to the hikes arranged by Vagabond, but we loved every hike. Our efforts were very well rewarded by the stunning views of the fantastic scenery of Ireland. And we stayed in very lovey accommodations. Our guide, DamiEn was so friendly, kind, considerate and so very capable, that it was easy to see why he was hired to be a guide for Vagabond. He was always working behind the scenes for us to make our time well spent and so much fun. The tour does so much of Northern Ireland and the Wild Atlantic Way that my husband and I feel we have truly experienced this magical country and its beautiful people. Thank you Rob, DamiEn and everyone who supported us while we were on the road! We do love, love, love Ireland and Vagabond!!

I loved it all. Our driver/tour guide Denise was the best, she was knowledgeable of the history and would get us to our destinations before the crowd. The hotels, towns, excursions were gun and historic. The bus was very comfortable. I have one suggestion and that is to add cup holders at the seats, we had nowhere to put drinks. Also I would suggest giving people the option of doing the Derry walking tour, it’s not for everyone, especially our group. I would definitely recommend this Vagabond 11 Day Driftwood tour to anyone. Ireland is a magical island country!

My husband and I wanted to see the west coast of Ireland, but didn't want to drive or go on a big bus tour. A small group tour seemed the perfect compromise. Vagabond's Driftwood 7 Day Treasure Island Tour hit all the expected highlights and some unexpected ones. Brian, our wonderful driver did an amazing job letting us know all the history of what we were seeing and was very helpful whenever he had questions. He helped us arrange our free time in Dingle so we didn't miss out on any experiences with our group. We traveled with 12 others and made some new friends. We were very fortunate to have absolutely fabulous weather. (Thank you Brian for arranging that.) Connemeara, the Burren, Cliffs of Moher, Cliffs of Kilkee, Killarney National Park, Dingle, Slea Head Drive, Beara Penisula each unique in their own beautiful way. Not to mention the great castles, abbeys and stone circles. I would definitely recommend Vagabond Tours.

We enjoyed the tour thoroughly. The length of the tour was great and extra time during each day to investigate the areas on our own was also appreciated.
Brian was fun, knowledgeable and always thinking ahead and on top of things.

Driftwood offers great itineraries, knowledgeable guides, and comfortable transport. Our lodgings were outstanding, and so were our activity options. Smaller tour size allows for great flexibility. And the company makes every effort to pair you with other travelers who share your travel goals. This was our 2nd Driftwood tour, and we would gladly travel with them again.

Well balanced with history, culture, scenery, physical activity, and selection of sites visited. Very nice choice of accommodations, restaurants, and personal and knowledgeable tour guide. Enjoyed the small group setting. Overall, a wonderful and memorable experience.

It was an AMAZING trip! The itinerary was great, the hotels we stayed at were great, and most of all, our travel guide Tadhg O’Connell the best! I loved that it was a small group of 15 people…we had such a great group of people! I wouldn’t change anything about the trip! I highly recommend Vagabond to anyone going to Ireland

Danny was the best!! Knowledgeable and friendly.

This was my first trip with Vagabond Tours. I thoroughly enjoyed my trip. I didn't have to worry about anything and I got to enjoy Ireland and all its beauty. I felt safe the entire trip and didn't have to worry about anything. I would definitely book another tour through Vagabond Tours.

Jasper our guide and driver was a very big part of the great experience we had. His good humor and knowledge of Ireland made the trip very enjoyable. Also, the itinerary, accommodations, Mercedes van and special events added a lot. Western and Southern Ireland made a surprising impact. I had been to the North and East in Ireland but had no idea of the rugged beauty of the West and South and the lovely Irish people we met. I have highly recommend Vagabond to several people.

Our tour guide Lisa made the experience outstanding her knowledge of Ireland and her ability to answer any and every question that we had was simply amazing.. she was more than accommodating to all of us and made it a pleasure everyday all day... whatever you are paying her is not enough you need to pay her more she is well worth it a valuable asset to your company
