It it a part of Ireland that typifies the friendliness, welcome, scenery and history that make Ireland such a great place to visit (and live). Two nights of each tour are spent in the vibrant town of Dingle, so we will have plenty of time to explore the region, do some great activities, meet the locals and just relax and enjoy the atmosphere. And then the 7 and 8 day tours also then heads north to cover the western areas. Both go as far North as Galway city, via the River Shannon, Cliffs of Moher, County Clare and the Burren and while the folks on the seven day trip head home from Galway on the train, the eight day tour offers the chance to cross Galway bay, stopping at the Aran Islands on the way and spending the last night in the wild and rugged Connemara region. </span></span></span></span></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="color: rgb(0, 0, 0); margin-top: 0cm; margin-right: 0cm; margin-bottom: 0.0001pt; margin-left: 36pt; font-size: 10pt; font-family: Arial; text-indent: -36pt; "><span lang="EN-US"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size:100%;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: 12px; "><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color:#5F5E5F;"><br /></span></span></span></span></p><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: rgb(0, 0, 0); font-size: 12px; color:#5F5E5F;"><span style="font-family: Arial; "></span></span><p class="MsoNormal" style="color: rgb(0, 0, 0); margin-top: 0cm; margin-right: 0cm; margin-bottom: 0.0001pt; margin-left: 36pt; font-size: 10pt; font-family: Arial; text-indent: -36pt; "><span lang="EN-US"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size:100%;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: 12px; "><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color:#5F5E5F;">•</span></span></span><span style="font: normal normal normal 7pt/normal 'Times New Roman'; "><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size:100%;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: 12px; font-family: Arial; "><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color:#5F5E5F;"> 5 and 7 day</span></span></span></span></span><b><span lang="EN-US"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size:100%;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: 12px; "><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color:#5F5E5F;"> Northern, Northwest and Western Ireland:</span></span></span></span></b><span lang="EN-US"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size:100%;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: 12px; "><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color:#5F5E5F;"> Plus of course our ‘</span></span></span><i><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size:100%;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: 12px; "><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color:#5F5E5F;">Northern Island’</span></span></span></i><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size:100%;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: 12px; "><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color:#5F5E5F;"> tour for five days which includes Northern Ireland and the North West; this is also a superb trip and possibly our most off-the-beaten track tour.

The small groups sizes, flexibility and off the beaten track exploring of our current trips will remain, but for those who would prefer a more sedate and less active view of Ireland we will be incorporating more stops such as historical houses and gardens, free time to shop and relax and more accessible ancient sites. <br /><br />Accommodation will stay the same. We will be staying in quality, locally owned guesthouses and hotels in small rural communities and departure dates will remain the same as the Vagabond trips. The idea being that groups can even spilt during the day, with the active members taking the Vagabond tour and the less active can take the less active option. <br /><br />Travel will be by Mercedes minibus, or similar, with easier access than the ‘Vagatrons’ and greater space inside. <br /><br />Further details and full itineraries will be available very soon, but if in the meantime you would like some further information on Vagabond’s new range of tour, please contact us on culturetours@vagabond.ie or call us on the numbers below.Vagabond Tours of Irelandhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/00051411493840485514noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8757848472782948146.post-87808040214653382652010-07-20T07:44:00.000-07:002010-07-20T07:52:19.556-07:0025% off Vagabond tours leaving on 25th and 26th JulyWe currently have a few spaces left on the Seven Day and five day southern tours leaving on the 25th July and the 5 and 7 day Northern tours leaving on Monday 26th July. <br /><br />And all remaining places on these tours are discounted by 25%, (5 day tours are discounted from E799 to E599 and 7 day tours are discount from E1079 to E799, prices based on two or more sharing, single supplements apply).<br /><br />For more details contact vagabond on info@vagabond.ie or call +353 876 494262Vagabond Tours of Irelandhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/00051411493840485514noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8757848472782948146.post-1126781156277047192010-06-01T07:56:00.001-07:002010-06-01T08:17:45.176-07:00Vagabond the Supermodel<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgp6p634snalNgtq5q1SDHdQI5zaFRLF2JV57JZYdqweP3bW4_EVXK_6w7AsNQSDVl0a4q9wKTCFeQ0DKKubSfT6U1GErh0yYLeZKBYJsRtR15QraqopoTNhDDf1e1Z2LICtz2xTbB5yyXl/s1600/vodoafone+and+vagabond+ad.JPG"><img style="float:right; margin:0 0 10px 10px;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 320px; height: 185px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgp6p634snalNgtq5q1SDHdQI5zaFRLF2JV57JZYdqweP3bW4_EVXK_6w7AsNQSDVl0a4q9wKTCFeQ0DKKubSfT6U1GErh0yYLeZKBYJsRtR15QraqopoTNhDDf1e1Z2LICtz2xTbB5yyXl/s320/vodoafone+and+vagabond+ad.JPG" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5477824698315500098" /></a><br />Recently Vagabond was contacted by Vodafone (Ireland’s largest mobile phone network) because we had been chosen from their 100,000+ Irish business users here to be featured in their new ‘business dreams’ campaign.
