Third Vagabond tour completed – and certainly not the last.
Vagabond Tours的点评
点评：This was my third tour with Vagabond Tours and my second time doing the Wild Irish Rover Tour. I first did this tour on my own three years ago, and this year I decided to bring my nine-year-old son along. And I can honestly say: if your child enjoys walking, is reasonably fit and happy to join in with the activities, this tour can work wonderfully with a children.
My son had an absolutely fantastic time. Our guide, Ronan, and the entire group made him feel genuinely welcome from the very beginning. Everyone was relaxed, kind and inclusive, and by the end of the trip he had become so attached to the group that he really missed everyone afterwards.
One of the things I love most about Vagabond is that even if you book the same tour twice, it does not really feel like the same tour. So much depends on the weather, the conditions and the activities that are possible on a particular day, as well as the little stops along the way. Of course, some places will be familiar, but they are places I am very happy to return to. I was actually looking forward to seeing some of them again – Gougane Barra, Dingle and Connemara, for example. They are simply beautiful, no matter how many times you visit.
Our guide Ronan deserves a special mention. He was absolutely brilliant: knowledgeable, funny, caring and full of fascinating stories and information. He paid attention to the wellbeing of everyone in the group and was especially great with my son. He is also simply a very interesting and warm person to spend time with, and he contributed enormously to making this trip so memorable.
We were also very lucky with our group, mostly guests from the US and Australia. Everyone got along incredibly well, and it was just a lovely group of people to travel with.
The accommodation overall was good, and the food – even in some of the more mid-range hotels – was excellent. There was only one real disappointment: at the hotel near the optional Skellig Islands excursion, our room was directly above the pub and it was extremely noisy until late at night. Sleeping was almost impossible, which was particularly difficult for my nine-year-old after long, active days. That is definitely something I would hope could be avoided for families in the future.
One thing I noticed when travelling with a child – although this is absolutely not a criticism of Vagabond, but rather something I experienced throughout Ireland – is the lack of healthier options on children’s menus. Chicken goujons, fish and chips, fries and pasta seem to be everywhere. It would be wonderful to see more vegetables, raw vegetables, salads and simply prepared meat or other nutritious choices for children. In the end, I regularly bought extra fruit and healthier food in supermarkets for my son. Again, this is an observation about travelling in Ireland with a child rather than about Vagabond itself.
And then there is the Vagabond vehicle – one of the biggest reasons I love travelling this way. I would personally never choose to explore Ireland on a large coach. The smaller Vagabond busses can travel along narrow Irish roads and get to places that large tour buses simply cannot reach. Some of the most memorable places are down tiny roads, off the beaten track or seemingly in the middle of nowhere – and that is exactly where you want to be in Ireland.
If I could make one suggestion for future itineraries, I would personally love even more of the lesser-known cliff walks and slightly less time at the major tourist attractions. Of course I understand why places such as the Cliffs of Moher or Rock of Cashel are included, especially for first-time visitors. But walks such as the Kilkee Cliffs are, for me, much more enjoyable and feel far more special. Ireland has so many spectacular coastal walks away from the busiest tourist sites, and I would happily spend more time discovering those.
Overall, though, this was another wonderful Vagabond experience. It was active, beautiful, personal, fun and full of memorable moments. Most importantly, my son loved it every bit as much as I had hoped he would.
In fact, one of the first things he asked me afterwards was:
“Mum, when are we going with Vagabond again – and which tour are we doing next year?”
I think that says it all.

翻译：这是我第三次参加 Vagabond Tours 的旅游团，也是我第二次参加“狂野爱尔兰漫游之旅”。三年前我独自一人参加过一次这个行程，今年我决定带上我九岁的儿子一同前往。可以坦诚地说：如果你的孩子喜欢徒步、体能状况不错，也乐于参与各种活动，那么这个旅游团对孩子们来说再合适不过了。
我的儿子玩得开心极了。我们的导游罗南……整个团队从一开始就让他切实感受到了被欢迎的氛围。每个人都很随和、友善且乐于接纳他人；到旅行结束时，他已经深深钟情于这个团队，以至于后来真的非常想念大家。
我最喜欢Vagabond的一点就是：即便你两次预订了同样的旅行线路，体验也完全不会相同。因为天气、环境条件以及当天可进行的活动都会对体验产生很大影响。还有沿途的那些小景点。当然，有些地方我们都很熟悉，但它们都是我非常乐意故地重游的地方。其实我一直很期待能再去看看其中一些地方——比如古加内巴拉、丁格尔和康尼马拉。无论去多少次，它们都美得令人陶醉。
我们的导游罗南值得特别称赞。他真是出色至极：知识渊博、风趣幽默、体贴入微，还总能讲述许多引人入胜的故事与信息。他关心团队中每个人的身心健康，对我儿子更是体贴入微。他本人也是个非常有趣且warm的人，和他相处十分愉快。正是他的存在让这次旅行变得如此难忘。
我们的团队成员也相当出色，大多是来自美国和澳大利亚的游客。大家都相处得极其融洽，真是一群适合一同旅行的好人。
总体来说，住宿条件也不错。食物也相当美味——即使在一些中等价位的酒店里也是如此。唯一真正令人失望的是：在那个靠近斯凯利格群岛观光点的酒店里，我们的房间正好在酒吧上方，直到深夜都吵闹不已。几乎无法入睡，对于一天活动下来已经疲惫不堪的九岁孩子来说尤其艰难。希望今后能避免让有孩子的家庭遇到这种情况。我在带孩子旅行时注意到一点——这绝对不是对Vagabond的批评，而是我在整个爱尔兰旅行时的普遍体验——那就是儿童菜单上缺乏更健康的选择。鸡块、炸鱼薯条、炸薯片和意大利面似乎随处可见。如果能有更多蔬菜、生蔬菜、沙拉，以及烹饪方式简单的肉类或其他营养丰富的食物供孩子们选择，那就太好了。最后，我经常在超市里为儿子购买额外的水果以及更健康的食物。不过，这也是关于带孩子在爱尔兰旅行的观察心得，与Vagabond本身并无直接关系。
还有Vagabond的车辆——这也是我喜欢这种旅行方式的最重要原因。就我个人而言，我绝对不会选择乘坐大型旅游巴士来游览爱尔兰。而体积较小的Vagabond巴士则能行驶在爱尔兰那些狭窄的道路上，抵达大型旅游巴士根本无法到达的地方。一些最令人难忘的景点都位于偏僻的小路上，或是人迹罕至之地——而这些地方恰恰是你在爱尔兰最想去的地方。
如果让我为未来的旅游路线提个建议的话，我希望能多安排一些鲜为人知的悬崖步道游览，而减少在主要旅游景点的停留时间。当然，我也理解为什么像莫赫悬崖或卡舍尔石堡这样的地方会被列入行程，尤其是对于第一次来爱尔兰的游客而言。不过，像基基悬崖这样的徒步路线，对我来说要有趣得多，也显得格外特别。爱尔兰有许多远离热门旅游景点的绝美海岸步道，我很乐意花更多时间去探索它们。
总的来说，这又是一次美妙的Vagabond之旅。它充满活力、风景如画、富有个性化且乐趣无穷，还有许多令人难忘的瞬间。最重要的是，我儿子的喜爱程度完全符合我的期望。
事实上。之后他问我的第一件事就是：
“妈妈，我们什么时候再和流浪者号一起去旅行呢？明年我们打算参加哪条路线呀？”
我想这就说明了一切。
第三次与流浪者号的旅程已经圆满结束——但这绝对不会是最后一次。
