Our Story

Vagabond was born from a simple idea: that travel should be an immersive experience, not just a sightseeing checklist. Founded in Cork over a decade ago, we set out to create tours that go beyond the tourist traps and delve into the wild, authentic spirit of Ireland.

Our mission is to connect travelers with the landscape, the culture, and the people. We believe that the best way to see Ireland is up close—on foot, in small groups, and with the wind in your hair. Over the years, we have had the privilege of guiding thousands of adventurers through our emerald hills, sharing stories and creating memories that last a lifetime.

Today, we remain committed to sustainable travel practices that support local communities and preserve the natural environment we cherish so much.

Our Core Values

These principles guide every journey we create and every decision we make.

Adventure First

We embrace the spirit of exploration. Our tours are designed for those who seek active experiences, whether it's hiking a cliffside path or discovering hidden ruins.

Small Groups

We keep our groups intimate to ensure a personalized experience. This allows us access to locations larger buses simply cannot reach and fosters genuine connections.

Sustainability

We are committed to protecting Ireland's natural beauty. We operate responsibly, minimizing our environmental footprint and supporting local businesses.

Meet The Team

Our passionate guides are the heart and soul of Vagabond.
