What is the best to explore the Irish countryside? How about a “Vagatron?”

Vagabond & Driftwood Small Group Tours of Ireland have a fleet of customized 4 x 4 vehicles for their singular tours that go well off the beaten path. Taking no more than 16 passengers in each vehicle, they boast large windows that really take in the panoramic views of the countryside. These are rugged Land-Rovers and Mercedes Sprinters that have been specially outfitted for the task. Nicknamed “Vagatrons,”  or “Trons” for short, they can take guests where other tour companies can’t or won’t travel — and do so in considerable comfort. They can head into narrow mountain passes, drive along an Atlantic beach and venture off on remote roads leading to hidden vistas of incredible natural beauty that are beyond the reach of conventional vehicles.
