If you love Ireland, why not consider an exciting career change with Vagabond?
This Wicklow-based tour operator is looking to hire tour guides for the 2024 season and beyond. Vagabond Tours is recognised internationally for excellence; the family-owned and operated company was rated 12th in the 2023 Travel + Leisure World’s Best Awards.
Lasting between 5 and 15 days, their off-the-beaten-track tours are immersive yet informal. Small groups — maximum 15 people — discover the real Ireland.
Your role would be to introduce guests from all over the world to Ireland’s history, culture, music and food. Vagabond tour guides lead hikes, book activities with external suppliers and answer questions, all while safely driving a Mercedes minibus around Ireland.
