Patrick our tour guide was incredible. Brought the whole tour to life. Bus was comfortable with music and plenty of bathroom breaks.

Pat was great as a guide!! Very informative with the history with context and how it related to what we were seeing. Pat was also able to tie in the why what we were seeing was the way it is.

The first day of our tour went as expected and as advertised. Our driver Dave was pleasant and professional and we had a nice time. However, day two was the worst tour we have ever experienced. It felt unsafe and was not as advertised. It started at 7:10am when we checked into the warm Cork office 10 minutes before scheduled pickup time. We were directed outside to stand near the empty shuttle bus. We waited for over 25 minutes standing in cold 38 degree Fahrenheit/ 3 degrees Celsius weather. We then got into the cold shuttle bus where we needed to wear gloves and hats on the bus to stay warm. We stopped in Limerick only for paid restrooms and there was no chance to see the City (only 19 minutes total time including walking across street and up stairs). We barely had time to use the restroom or get water or coffee/tea. Based on the posted itinerary, we expected some brief time to see the city. We then drove past St. John’s castle. We had no chance to stop or take pictures and were unable to really see castle from the bus. Based on the posted itinerary, this seems very misleading as we did not really get to see the site. All this time and through the trip, the driver, Brian did not seem to know how to drive a manual transmission vehicle. He stalled out on our journey. However, that did not stop him from driving over the posted speed limit and driving very aggressively throughout our journey. He even joked that he was going to “drive the shuttle like he stole it”. This was our biggest concern- safety. He was actually pulled over by the police for speeding on the way to the Cliffs of Moher and I could hear the police officer said that multiple cars complained of the tour bus illegally overtaking them as he was speeding, which I can confirm happened. Brian also ran over speed bumps at full speed through multiple towns and created a very uncomfortable / bumpy drive. My sister and I both felt sick driving with Brian and neither of us is prone to motion sickness. Needless to say, this was awful as we traveled multiple hours with him. The Police Officer continued to follow the tour bus for 10 minutes as I believe he was concerned for the passengers safety. We did not stop at Doolin for lunch, as was advertised on the posted itinerary. We went straight to the Cliffs of Moher for one hour and 30 minutes. After the Cliffs, we went to a Cafeteria style restaurant for lunch with limited options. The staff there was friendly, which was good because for the next two hours and 25 minutes we waited there and back at the Cliffs of Moher visitor center ( almost four hours in total). We did not go to Bunratty castle as advertised. Instead another Driver, Shay, took us to another Driver, Richard, for our return trip. Shay was very nice and apologetic. Richard was also very nice and a good driver. The rest of our trip was uneventful, as we made our way back to Dublin. Needless to say, this was a very negative experience and not what we expected from such a reputable and well reviewed company. I contacted PaddyWagon multiple times with my concerns, but they did not even respond. Would not recommend.

We took a trip to the Giant's Causeway from Belfast. (this one it’s not listed in the dropdown menu). The experience matched the quality of our Dublin trip: a modern, clean, and comfortable bus. Our driver was attentive and kind, ensuring a safe journey while sharing engaging stories and local history along the way. We highly recommend Paddywagon Tours!

The Giant's Causeway is an extraordinary place that shouldn't be missed. And at this time of year, it's pleasantly uncrowded, allowing you to fully appreciate its stunning landscape. The unique rock formations are truly remarkable and offer an unforgettable experience. We loved the sunny day trip to Giants Causeway. I bet you will like it too!

Great tour with beautiful views! Paul, the tour guide, was amazing. Really nice, with great knowledge of places and history. We also suggested loads of restaurants and pubs in Dublin! Wonderful day.

Richard was a friendly and fantastic driver 10/10 recommend. He went out of his way to make the experience the best for my family and I and we sincerely appreciate it.

Sean was informative and fun. Great info on contemporary Irish history and politics. If you want to do the trails all around the lakes at Glendalough you need 3.5 hours. Seeing the waterfalls was awesome.

About Paddywagon Tours: well organized tour agents, comfy and clean bus and attentive and kind driver/guide. I recommend this agency. Glendalough is breathtakingly beautiful. You'll be captivated by the ancient stone houses and ruins, the historic cemetery, and the scenic walking paths. Be sure to wear comfortable shoes and bring your camera. You’ll find food trucks near the trail to the lake, perfect for a quick bite. Don’t miss this visit; it’s an experience you won’t want to lose out on!

The best part of the tour was the Cliffs of Moher. We got very lucky and had a very clear view on the day we were there. However, there were other aspects of the tour that were frustrating. Every stop felt rushed. If I'd had more time, I would've done an overnight trip to the west coast. I would also have reversed the route we took. We got to Galway around 10am and had to leave by 11:30am. Most of the shops were closed, and the Christmas Market that the tour guide told us about did not open until 12:00pm. If we'd gone to the Cliffs first, we could've enjoyed Galway more in the afternoon when more of the shops and restaurants were open. Also, we didn't stop to eat until nearly 3:30pm, and we only had 40 minutes, which felt very rushed. Luckily, I had packed some snacks and gotten a coffee in Galway. I would recommend bringing snacks, and/or purchasing food in the morning that you can eat on the bus. The bus was freezing! It was a very cold day, and the driver did not turn on the heat. We asked him to, and it seemed like he did for a few minutes, but then turned it off again. There were 6 of us on the mini-bus, and we were all shivering even with our coats, etc. It was nice to meet and chat with fellow travelers. The Cliffs of Moher are definitely worth a visit, but it may also be worth looking at other tour companies.

It was amazing!!! Alex, our driver, gave us some history on the way there and we loved it since we could understand more of the place we were visiting. He also walked a bit with us to show us the way to the lakes and waterfalls. It was the perfect half day tour, since we saw a bit of the outside of the city but without loosing a whole day. Even though it rained, the walk was still absolutely beautiful and we enjoyed it so much!!!!!!! We’ll definitely recommend it to anyone we know if they come to Dublin for a few days. Thank you Alex!

We did two tours (Giant's Causeway and Glendalough), both with the same driver Sean and both were absolutely lovely. Everything logistical from booking to the pickup was perfect. The tours were great and our driver Sean was fantastic. He gave lots of great information without it being too much. He was also very accomodating.

Brilliant day trip made even more enjoyable due to such a great guide, Michael, & driver Liam. Long and busy day but everything was perfectly timed with appropriate stops along the way. Would def recommend this trip to others.

The day trip was truly amazing. All the locations were breathtaking and I got to learn a lot about Ireland s history and folk culture. Our guide Michael and our driver Liam were truly the greatest company. I will a 100% go on another tour in the near future.

Amazing tour well organised! Only one hour from Dublin. The guide tour was very informative and helpful. The views were incredible
