We could be having a lovely time on the bus tour to the Giant's Causeway but the bus driver has been playing crap pop music at high volume. It's turned what could have been a pleasant day into a torturous exercise in tolerance and misery. We've voiced our preference and no change. He even interrupted a fascinating video on Irish history to blast Ed Sheeran. We would do anything to be able to get off this hell tour. We're only 4 hours into a 12 hour tour. Might actually prefer death to another eight hours. read more

I had a great experience with Paddywagon Tours last month. Me and my friend booked the two-day Northern Ireland tour and we had an incredible time. on the first day we had a great driver named Jimmy who took us to Belfast and gave us an amazing tour. He was very courteous and professional and shared great knowledge about Irish history during our Drive. all of his instructions were very clear for where to meet him and when after visiting various attractions. Our second day we had a different driver who was coming up with the one-day tour of Northern Ireland. I forget his name but he was equally knowledgeable and amicable as Jimmy the day before. The first day feels very relaxed in Belfast compared to the second day, which is jam-packed with attractions. We got to go to the Rope bridge, to the dark Hedges from Game of Thrones, to the Giant's Causeway, and then back to Dublin. You really feel like you cover a lot on the second day. If you are doing the one-day tour, you'll probably be exhausted but you'll get to see a lot. I found the two-day tour to be really well-balanced because we got time to relax in Belfast on the first day. the Black Cab tours was one of the highlights of the first day along with the Titanic Museum, what you don't get on the one-day tour. I totally love touring with this company and I can't wait to go back to Ireland and book with them again. Another reviewer commented on how checking into their tour bus in the morning was difficult and confusing. This can be true and you have to be very alert. We got there early to the Molly Malone statue and at exactly 8:30 in the morning someone walked up to us and asked us if we were there for the 2 day Paddywagon tour. He was wearing a Paddywagon company shirt. We followed him & then the bus came to pick us up a block away. Just be aware that it is really hard for these tourist buses to find a good pick up area in the city center of Dublin, especially in the morning when it's really busy. read more

I did the 6 day ALL IRELAND tour in July. Here are some ups and downs. First of all, props to my tour guide Rory. He kept us on schedule, his driving was safe and was a plesant person to be around. Paddywagon tours attacts a mix of travelers from early 20's to 80's. My tour was composed of a 50/50 younger/older crowd. One thing to remember is that there isn't any guided tours. Most often we were taken to a town where we could or could not participate in the activities that were lined up for us. I urge people to participate even though some of the activities are subpar. If unsatisfied perhaps make suggestions for future visitors. Personally, I'm a big Game of Thrones fan and even though we did visit the Dark Hedges there were other shooting locations that we didn't visit. Also, even though we were in Ireland, I did't want to spend so much time in pubs. Some recommendations for nice restaurants would have been nice. Finally, my biggest grief about the tour was that all but one hotel accomodation didn't have air conditioning. Locals say they don't need it, but as a spoiled American I say it's a must. The 6 day ALL IRELAND tour is a good first visit to Ireland as it will give you a good idea of where to return for a second visit. read more

I'm visiting Dublin for three months on a work rotation and have now taken three one-day tours with Paddywagon (first to Kilkenny & Glendalough, second to Connemara & Galway, and third to the Cliffs of Moher), and was very satisfied with all three. I did all three tours solo, but there were many couples and some larger groups aboard as well. Paddywagon really can't be beat for the price, and they'll also give you a discount on subsequent tours if you mention that you've done a Paddywagon tour before. I had three different tour guides, and all were fantastic! Unfortunately I can't remember the names of my first two guides, but Mark was our driver/guide for the Cliffs of Moher and was superb. All three guides provided the perfect mix of history, humor, and good ol' Irish charm to make the day a very pleasurable experience. The guides genuinely seem to enjoy what they're doing and take a lot of pride in their work. Unfortunately I didn't, but if you have the time, try a two-day trip if you're going out west or south. A one-day tour from Dublin to the west coast of Ireland entails a lot of driving, and it's definitely a long day, so I'd recommend doing an overnight trip out west if you can afford it. Overall, Paddywagon was a fantastic way to explore some of the most beautiful parts of the country, and I would highly recommend it to anyone looking for an easy, painless, and inexpensive way to see some of Ireland's sights and sounds. Had i taken only one tour I'd be less inclined to write a review, but because Paddywagon consistently delivered over my three separate tours, I feel like they deserve a huge plug. Give them a try! read more

A friend and I booked a 12 hour tour to the Cliffs of Moher from Dublin. Overall, it was a great day, but the description on the site was a tad misleading. The "10 stops" we make along the way aren't really stops, and especially not authentic ones. The first stop is at a gas station for food, while the next is at a convenience store. I understand that there are a lot of people on the bus (and 2 buses go together) but the description made it seem like we would stop in these quaint villages and have time to walk around and explore them. Lunch was a stop at a local restaurant and was buffet style. Food was okay, but nothing special and kind of bland. Also a bit on the expensive side. Finally, we arrive at our destination of the Cliffs and of course it's cloudy. Still beautiful though! If you have the opportunity to take a ferry out ti the Cliffs, I HIGHLY suggest it. It's €15 and 110% worth it. Such gorgeous views! read more

I really quite enjoyed the day tour to Giants Causeway, Carrick-a-rede, dark hedges, and Belfast. We didn't leave on time, so we didn't get to utilize all the limited time we had but that's my only complaint. Keep in mind also that the tour does not include your ticket across the Carrick-a-rede bridge. Going to the sight is free of charge, but you do have to pay to cross it. Our tour guide was hilarious, and great story teller. It was definitely nice that he laid out the rules at the beginning of the road trip, one of the most important "hushing when he's talking". That's mainly so we could hear him talking about sights and history without other people's chatter cluttering up our ears. Dark Hedges is definitely a place to see when there's not that many people around (random people in scenic trees picture). But otherwise, it was super relaxing to just jump on board and be taken to places that I wouldn't have wanted to drive to on my own. read more

Our family had such a great time on the 6 day all Ireland tour. Aaron, our guide, was fabulous!! He was knowledgeable and funny and an excellent driver. He stopped at these little hidden gems not on the itinerary Yes, it's a super fast, crazy schedule but it was a great overview introduction to Ireland. I encourage people to add a few days on either end to get a more in depth visit. Super helpful with booking, prices about average. read more

We just got back from a trip to Dublin, where myself, my fiancee, my sister and my brother in law all took a day trip to the Cliffs of Moher with Paddywagon. This was an outstanding tour, largely due to our incredible tour guide/bus driver Val O'Brian. How he manages to maintain that level of energy and excitement, I'll never know. He was fun, engaging, informative, and he has a lovely singing voice. It did sometimes feel a little bit rushed, but that's kind of the nature of bus tours, and it can never be avoided. Trying to wrangle 60 people back onto a bus in time isn't easy, and that's not a flaw in their tours, just a common issue with tours anywhere. This won't be my last trip to Ireland, and we're definitely going to use and recommend Paddywagon again. Val is simply amazing, and an utter joy to spend the day with. read more

Went back in 2010 but better late than never to review this place. I did the 6 day tour of Southern Ireland, 1 day tour of Cliffs of Moher and it was absolutely perfect. The people in my van were great, my guide was great and I really recommend this to all backpackers who want a easy way to explore the country. Its very affordable way to enjoy all of Ireland, would recommend them to everyone. read more

We did the one-day Dingle Tour. We had a great time, but it felt a bit disorganized. When we stopped in Killarney (I think), there was no guidance given as to what to do/what to see. They sent us off with just the time to return. We were a bit confused. Then we went on to Dingle and stopped at Inch Beach. This was sooooooo rushed. We had to return to the bus within 20 minutes. We had time to just dip our toes in the Atlantic Ocean and that was it. We definitely wish it had been a longer stop. When we return, we'll rent a car or take a train to Dingle instead of the bus tour. All the stops were rushed. I highly recommend this tour if you're just looking for a quick overview and want to have a mainly sedentary experience. I would definitely take my mother on this tour. Highly recommend for anyone with mobility issues. The scenery is STUNNING! read more

The tour was very intense; the whole country in 6 days! Raurie was our tour guide and he was very nice. He had plenty of information and told great stories; not sure all of them were true, but they were great nonetheless. One of the best B&Bs that we stayed at was the one owned by Paddywagon; it was a so nice. I wish that all of the places we stayed were owned by Paddywagon. Be warned, though, that with this long of a tour, the "full Irish breakfast" loses it's charm by day 3. read more

Took the Cliffs of Moher tour with driver James yesterday. It was great. James had good insights and took us on the more scenic route than some of the other buses go. He grew up in a town that we drove through and he clearly loves his job and Dublin so it was a pleasure to have him as a guide. The cliffs were incredible and the stops along the way give you a good grasp of the culture. Highly recommend this!! read more

I never would have guessed when boarding the bus for the first time that I would have had so much fun with this group of 14 strangers from all over the world. I had always assumed tour buses such as these were mainly filled with Seniors enjoying retirement, but not the Paddywagon. Our "baby Paddywagon" included guests in their 20s/30s (plus one set of awesome retirees). Besides the beauty of Ireland as a country in general, the other piece that helped to make our trip more enjoyable was our driver, Seanie. That guy made our trip a blast. After boarding the bus, our first stop was at the Guinness Storehouse. Before going inside, Seanie had everyone introduce themselves. Pretty common stuff. Once we finished our visit to Guinness and hit the road, there was the awkward silence that one would expect with a group of strangers. Out of nowhere, Seanie asks "so, who is going to be the first to sing your country's national anthem". We all chuckled assuming he was kidding, but oddly enough, people started to do it. My hats off to those representing their countries alone on the bus. Pretty soon the awkwardness barrier came down and everyone started to get to know each other. The country of Ireland was wonderful. Locations such as the Cliffs of Moher were breathtaking to look at. We did the 6 day tour, and I have to say, we were sad to leave the people who were doing the longer tour of Northern Ireland. If you can get away, I definitely suggest the longer trip. The Paddywagon staff as well as the bed & breakfasts where we stayed were all great. The tour managed to show us all of the "must sees" during our trip. This was one of our best trips to Europe and I have to thank the Paddywagon for that. I would recommend them again in a heartbeat. Shout out to Seanie! read more

I HIGHLY recommend paddywagon tours. I was only in Dublin for 3 days and wanted to see some of Ireland. My friends and I booked the tour to Blarney. I could not have asked for a better experience. We had an AMAZING tour guide Val O' Brien. He kept us entertained the entire trip. Made us all feel comfortable and wanted to really get to know us. A one day trip from 8 am to 8 pm felt like we had been on a 6 day tour by how much we bonded and learned on this trip. we made great friends and explored the beauty of Ireland. My friends and I were not expecting much, that we would just explore the country and look out the window along the way. Seeing Blarney, Cobb and Cork was awesome in itself but what made the experience memorable and worthwhile was our spectacular tour guide Val O' Brien. read more

Absolutely would not recommend this company. After paying nearly $200 for a tour, I was given the incorrect pick-up time and myself along with several other customers were left behind after our bus left without us with little more than a shrug of the shoulders and a "sorry, there's nothing we can do unless you want to pay for your own taxi to try to catch up to the bus but we can't guarantee that it will wait for you". Trying to reach someone with any concerns you have is also impossible - it took over a month and numerous emails to different offices and reaching out to multiple social media accounts for someone to finally respond to me which ended up being completely unhelpful. There are far too many tour companies that have the same itinerary, same price point and an actual sense of customer service to deal with Paddywagon Tours' incompetence. read more

Took the Cliffs of Moher bus tour last week with my brother and mom - we thoroughly enjoyed ourselves! Our tour guide was friendly, informative, funny and pleasant to be around. We felt like we had plenty of time to visit the Cliffs, without feeling rushed for time. I would have loved if we had more time for lunch, as I felt extremely rushed to eat and enjoy myself. read more

Took the day tour to Belfast. The driver (definitely a driver not a "charming" tour guide as billed) got us there and back but can't say much more than that. Got a whole 10 minutes at Monasterboice which was billed as a major stop when we booked but ended up almost an afterthought. We were dropped off in downtown Belfast for our 2 hours of "free time" but when we asked if there was a map or highlights we should see the answer was "no - this is your free time". It felt as though unless we were doing the black taxi tour that they didn't know what to do with us until we either went to Titanic or Game of Thrones. For those who did the black taxi the feedback was that it was very informative albeit a bit scary. Titanic tour was very good. Had a sense from the start that our driver was negative towards Belfast and generally disappointing overall. read more

Our driver Aiden was the best! Very friendly and knows his history. He was very funny and entertaining. Kept us laughing. The only reason for four stars was the Wi-Fi went down going back and I know he couldn't control that. Other than that it was a fabulous trip to Blarney Castle and best of all I got to kiss the stone! read more

Essentially, my experience with Paddywagon was certainly worth it and pleasant but could have been improved in several ways. My friend and I took the tour to Glendalough, Kilkenny, and the Wicklow Mountains. The locations themselves were fabulous and absolutely not to be missed. I think Glendalough was my favourite thing I saw in Ireland. The coach was as comfy as coaches could be and the ride lovely and scenic, as well as on time. Our guide, whose name I unfortunately cannot recall (I think John...I'm so bad with names) was well informed but there were some things I wasn't fond of about his presentation. Firstly he talked essentially constantly, a mixture of information and humor. The balance was good, the amount, not so much. Also, content absolutely not suitable for children (if they are allowed on, not sure they are, we didn't have any, just FYI). As stated in Paddywagon adverts he sang, a lot, which would have been cool, except he was a rather poor singer. I wouldn't be so picky except that it happens so often it can become grating rather than endearing. He also gave us essentially no information outside his script on the bus. This became a problem in our stop in Kilkenny. This stop, first of all, is much too short. You are expected to eat lunch here and can also see the castle and cathedral, both of which are gorgeous. We got to see neither. Turns out there is another Gothic church in Kilkenny, whose spires we were following and when we asked for directions to "the cathedral" people pointed us to, but it wasn't the right Cathedral. I feel we should have been warned about that and been given directions before getting off the bus. Even with proper directions we would never have been able to comfortably see one thing, let alone both. The tour arrives back quite early, they company needs to make it longer to include a lengthier visit to Kilkenny. I felt like I didn't get my money's worth. I'm glad I went and saw what I did but I don't think I would book with Paddywagon again, not so much because it was a negative experience, which it wasn't, but because my experience with Extreme Ireland was so wonderful. I would recommend looking to them for your Irish excursion needs. read more

Never used them but they get one star for trying to bribe a 5 star rating. Sometimes you need to be careful what you ask for. https://www.tripadvisor.ca/ShowTopic-g186591-i88-k11177309-From_the_Paddywagon_FB_page-Ireland.html read more

I've never been keen on taking a tour like this, but my friend took a suggestion from an acquaintance and booked the three day tour of Southern Ireland. Alex, our tour guide, was fabulous the whole way through. He gave a lot of great details about everything we were seeing and on the history of Ireland. Funny guy, very personable, and a great storyteller. I doubt we'd have seen as much of Ireland if we had driven ourselves. It was nice to sit back and let someone who knew about the sights do the driving. I'd definitely recommend Paddywagon Tours! read more

Took the one day tour to Wicklow today and my mother was feeling carsick. We were late ten minutes coming back to the bus on the first stop because it was pouring rain and she was in the restroom trying to recover. When we got on, the bus driver rudely asked me if I had a watch. I understand that keeping the tour on time is very important, but there's no need to take it out on your customers. We took the one day Paddywagon bus tour to the Ring of Kerry the day before and were two hours late coming back to Dublin. We didn't complain since we understood that things happen which are out of the bus driver's control. Beautiful sights but unprofessional. read more

This place was awful. We did the Wicklow tour and we met at the Molly Malone statue. It was raining and we were expecting a bus to come get us, we were waiting for about 20 minutes. We then had to walk about a half mile to the office to wait for the bus where we then waiting another 30 minutes for them to find a bus. They then told us they over booked the bus and 2 people who already signed up, paid, and showed up couldn't go. The bus driver was very rude and once we finally got going, he didn't tell us about anything. We were told Vikings, Braveheart, and P.S. I Love You were all filmed at some places we were going too but he didn't tell us where until we asked about it and we had already left the place. I was extremely disappointed with this tour and would highly NOT recommend this tour to anybody. If I could give it 0 stars, I would. read more

I went on the two day tour of Belfast. Our tour guide was absolutely awesome and full of knowledge, hes the reason I am not giving this a one star. The first day was very unprepared, and we seemed to have a lot of time not to do anything. The Titanic Museum was cool, but not worth the trip. We stayed in the PaddyPalace in Belfast, and it was ABSOLUTELY DISGUSTING. I rather have camped in the streets than to stay there. The next day was fun, it was very rushed in areas, but that is just because everything was full with tourist season. Overall, if you choose to do Paddywagon, either go to Belfast and find your own nice hostel the night before and do a one day tour, or only do a tour straight from Dublin. The accommodation they give is awful and not worth the money whatsoever. DO NOT STAY IN THEIR HOSTEL. read more

Their customer service is amazing! I was having trouble booking one of the tours over my computer and when I called Tony was such a great help and so nice and was able to book it for me over the phone right away. I am so excited now for the two tours my friends and I will be going on in a couple weeks if the tour guides are as nice as Tony was! read more

While I was visiting Dublin, I decided to take the one-day Belfast tour from Paddywagon tours. The price was very reasonable, and I am fascinated by Belfast's history so I thought it would be a good investment. I'm so happy I went. The tour bus was very comfortable, and our guide was great about telling us all kinds of Irish trivia. The one thing that was very, err, interesting about the tour was that we were driving around Belfast in this massive green bus, and it wasn't until we were there that our guide explained that green is a highly political colour in Northern Ireland, and for us not to be surprised if we get some dirty looks from some locals. Good times! When we arrived in Belfast, I opted to take the black cab tour that was an optional add-on to the package. I would highly recommend it to anyone taking the tour. We were given two local tour guides (one Catholic, the other Protestant) and they each took us to visit their respective sections of the city and to view the many highly political murals scattered throughout. It was amazing to get the perspective of these guys who actually lived through the civil unrest that happened, and to a lesser extent, still exists. Since the tour was so great, I decided to book myself in for the Blarney Castle tour and I was told to be at the Paddywagon office at 6am sharp. I did just that, and I saw various buses that were departing for different locations, but alas no Blarney Castle bus. I waited for an hour, and I finally decided to go back to my hostel and give them a call. It turns out that I was supposed to board the bus destined for the Cliffs of Moher and switch buses in Cork (no one told me that). Although they couldn't refund me, they offered to have me attend the next day; however, since I was flying back to London I wasn't able to take them up on their offer. Moral of the story -make sure to get clear instructions when booking! It was very disappointing at the time, but since the Belfast tour was so good, I'll still give them four stars. read more

What happens when you combine fantastic people with fantastic places? Paddywagon Tours. I traveled to the Cliffs of Moher, Galway and a few various, smaller sights while studying abroad in Ireland with Paddywagon Tours, all in one day. Our guide was supremely friendly and knowledgeable, and was very timely in our departure and return times to and from Dublin. The trip was not expensive, seeing as we saw one of the seven Wonders of the World, and other gorgeous places throughout Ireland. Paddywagon Tours offers an incredible experience. I highly recommend it as one of the best tour services located in Dublin. read more

Paddywagon tours cannot be trusted once you PAY THEM . When the pandemic hit they told us that since we FIRST ELECTED TO take a credit for a future tour, WE COULD NOT NOW GET ANY REFUND. And we are senior citizens who mistakenly thought they would refund our money when the full crisis of the virus hit! They just want your money and once they get it....they ignore you. Don't trust them. read more

Little tip: If you are going for pictures, be sure to sit in the front or near the window seat as the images would be the best here. Bring a tripod if you have one too. We first heard about this tour from a local Dubiner who said he had been on it not once, but twice. Since it came so highly recommended, we decided to give it a go. It was an awesome tour. For a mere 28 Euro, we got to see tons of sights. My favorites were: Wicklow upper lake Brown Hill Dolmen Kilkenny Castle Our driver also pointed out other interesting spots as we drove through/past them such as old monasteries and towns. This was a fabulous way to see more of Eastern Ireland without renting a car. I was impressed by how small and accessible the island was. Considering that they drive on a different side of the road, I'm glad that it wasn't us that was driving! read more

I took my wife and son on a tour to Belfast and had a wonderful time. Desmond, our guide and driver, gave us good historical insights and took us past interesting stops along the drive - more so than I expected (which was good!). It was a great way to enjoy a new part of the world. read more

I did the 3 day ring of Kerry with my mom. It was AWESOME. Our tour Guide " Mike" is the bomb. We had the best time with him and listening to his stories. We also took a 1 day tour to wicklow. It was nice but, the tour guide wasn't as fun. Ireland is beautiful. I recommend this tour company, It is very reasonable. DO NOT STAY in the hostels. Stay in the B&B. It is well worth the extra money. The hostels are filled with loud, disrespectful kids and the hostel's front desk lost my reservations twice. ***** do the Paddywagon tours. The Rings of Kerry is Awesome Next time I'll do the 6 day southern. Happy Travels read more

Absolutely incredible experience with Paddywagon. Went to the Cliffs of Moher with two friends, our tour guide was outstanding. He was very informative, enthusiastic, and incredibly kind. Prior to the tour, I was skeptical about having to sit on the bus for too long but the stops they make along the way are perfect and offer a nice short break and a chance to see a few other really cool locations. Overall, the tour exceeded my expectations and I highly recommend their services to anyone visiting Dublin looking for a full day of sightseeing. read more

We are a group of four that are coming to Ireland for the first time. We looked around and around and paddy wagon was the best bang for its buck. We did 2 tours with them and so fortunate we had the same tour guide James. He was great and patient. I would have preferred a little longer time at certain locations (it needed it) but overall had a comfortable and pleasant time... And I must add I forgot my glasses on the 1st tour. And found them on the second one. Made me happy read more

Paddywagon Tours - Breathe taking .... Speechless sight - Tours Near Me - Dublin, D

It was a tour of life time. For some one busy and lazy like me, looking out for something which is well-thought, nothing else could work out any better. As website says it is more than a tour. Our tour guide and driver Tiernen was just amazing. I did three day back packer tour to Galway, cliffs of Moher and Blarney castle. Hostels were very clean and Tiernen told us so many of fairy tales, legend's stories and Irish culture narratives. I highly recommend paddy wagon for it's fun, learning, cost effectiveness and efficiency. read more

I have been on three day tours with the Paddywagon, all of them were great. The best tour was with shauny to the Giants Causeway, a tour that I will never forget. read more

Paddywagon Tours - Connemara and Galway tour - Tours Near Me - Dublin, D

Didn't get a refund for my €50 Cliffs of Moher tour when my entire trip to Ireland was cancelled due to an ice storm. Paddywagon Tours doesn't give refunds for situations that are uncontrollable...? So if I had just decided not to show up, would I get a refund then? The most stubborn staff I've ever had to work with -- each employee told me something different. One of them guaranteed me a refund, I never got the refund, so I called back and another employee told me they don't give refunds for weather-related trip cancellations. Never been so disappointed in a company & its employees before. I will not recommend this group to anyone. Extremely frustrating, difficult to contact, and impossible to work with. 0 stars. read more

Did the 4 day South Western Ireland Tour, and had an incredible time! The value is unmatched, the accommodations were great and I can't say enough about the guides/drivers. Our driver the first day was Paul who brought us through Connemara from Dublin and then finished the day in Galway. We enjoyed the history he shared and also loved that he sang Irish songs. On day 2 we met up with a new driver who had a group that was halfway through their 6 day tour-Malcom. Malcom was so knowledgeable and friendly and caring. We enjoyed all of the sights as the itinerary was designed to really hit the highlights and make the most of seeing the beautiful country. It was also great to not have to drive and have a worry free vacation, I would recommend this tour and Malcom and Paul specifically if you are in the market for a wonderful Irish experience. Cheers! read more

We took the Dingle Peninsula tour out of Cork and it was great. Our driver was Tony. He was a wealth of knowledge. He talked the entire time (well close to it) and interesting facts and stories about everything from the country's history to the people he knows in each village. We have good recommendations and navigated that bus like a pro. I felt very safe on those hairy roads. Before we got on Tony's bus we rode with a couple other drivers Jamie and... I forgot.. But they were great too. I'd recommend this tour company! read more

We did the Giant's Causeway tour and having someone drive you up the coast, stop at some of the best picture spots and tell you tidbits of the extensive Irish history along the way is definitely worth it. HOWEVER-Our guides did not tell us that when we reached Northern Ireland we would need British Pounds. We didn't find this out until the Causeway where we had to stop in their little rip-off currency exchange shop to get money as they wouldn't accept Euros. Be advised you will need to take 2 currencies with you to the North (lest you pay the exchange fees)......the small tourism areas do not accept cards most of the time. Could I do one of the 10 day trips? No way....the Giant's Causeway trip took 15 hours and we didn't arrive back in Dublin until about 9:30pm. Our guide was fantastic, he was incredibly knowledgeable, especially about "The Troubles" era and pointed out a lot of little things you would never know otherwise. You get to relax to irish folk songs on the bus, listen to local Irish news and see the beautiful Irish countryside along the way. read more

We arrived in Killarney and knew we wanted to check out the Ring of Kerry. We weren't very prepared (i.e., had no plan at all), and after all the driving we had done were not keen on doing a self-drive tour. We went to one of the tourist info centers in Killarney and grabbed a brochure for Paddywagon. They were offering some sort of deal so the price was right. We met with the rep from the tour office the next morning, and once all who were boarding from Killarney had arrived, we walked over to the bus. It was clean and semi-comfortable. There were no bathrooms, but that wasn't a big deal to us (there were a few opportunities to use toilets along the way). I wish I could remember our driver's name (we were there over a month ago). He was really great -- knowledgeable, funny and a good driver. Though were were on tiny Irish roads, I never once felt scared in our very, very big bus. I would highly recommend the Ring of Kerry tour with Paddywagon. The comfort and convenience -- not to mention sheer beauty of the ROK -- make it more than worth it! read more
