What is Travellers’ Choice?
Tripadvisor gives a Travellers’ Choice award to accommodations, attractions and restaurants that consistently earn great reviews from travellers and are ranked within the top 10% of properties on Tripadvisor.
Ireland’s small size makes it possible to see much of the country on a multi-day tour, and doing so with a guide allows you to maximize your time on an itinerary with both big-name attractions and traditional villages. See Belfast and the Giant’s Causeway in Northern Ireland; marvel at natural wonders such as The Burren, Inch Beach, and the Cliffs of Moher; and visit towns including Galway, Dingle, and Cork.

Day 1: Dublin - Belfast Your tour begins in central Dublin where you board your air-conditioned coach and begin your scenic journey north. Visit Monasterboice to explore the ruins of an early Christian monastic settlement, and then cross into Northern Ireland. In Belfast, begin a city sightseeing tour, passing sights such as City Hall, Queen's University, Albert's Clock, and the Botanic Gardens, or opt for a Black Taxi tour (optional; own expense) to see the Peace Wall and Belfast murals, and learn more about the city’s turbulent political history. Day 2: Belfast - Letterkenny See Northern Ireland highlights, starting with Dark Hedges, a memorable 'Game of Thrones' filming locations where your guide shares stories about the filming of the hit show. Continue to the rugged north coast’s star attraction, the Giant’s Causeway, which is Northern Ireland’s only UNESCO World Heritage Site. In the afternoon, visit Derry (Londonderry) to learn its history, before crossing the border into County Donegal to Letterkenny. Day 3: Letterkenny - Galway Begin with a drive through Donegal and Sligo, the former stomping ground of poet W.B. Yeats—stop to visit his grave in Drumcliff Abbey. Continue south to Galway, where you have the afternoon to walk Salthill Promenade, enjoy views of Galway Bay, and explore the bars and restaurants of the atmospheric Latin Quarter. Day 4: Galway-Killarney Drive part of the rugged Wild Atlantic Way, ducking inland to explore the otherworldly landscapes of the Burren before continuing to the Cliffs of Moher. After marveling at the sea cliffs and enjoying views of Aran Islands, make a stop in Adare village, famed for its traditional thatched cottages. Finally, continue to Dingle, where you spend the night.. Day 5: Dingle - Killarney Explore the Dingle Peninsula, where highlights include Inch Beach, one of the longest beaches in Ireland, and Slea Head, the westernmost point of Europe. Keep an eye out for Fungi, Dingle’s resident dolphin, and enjoy expansive views along the coast, including an island known as the Sleeping Giant, Blasket Islands, and the ancient beehive huts. Head to Killarney in the afternoon and enjoy free time to shop for souvenirs and have dinner (own expense) at a typical Irish pub. Day 6: Killarney-Dublin See some of the sights along the famous Ring of Kerry tour route, as you pass through the Cork and Kerry Mountains. Make a stop at Blarney Castle, where you can join in the centuries-old tradition of kissing the Blarney Stone—said to bestow the “gift of the gab.” On the return to Dublin, pass through Wicklow Mountains, before ending your tour at the original departure point.

      Has space to improve
      We have reserved the half-day tour, knowing it will be one of those "short and sweet", Which in someway we got - the national park is beautiful and there is a lot to explore and enjoy. However, there are a few things to mention regarding the operator or rather the specific guide we had. After we had arrived to the destination it was quickly quite odd since the guide suggested to use the toilets and we are free to do so right away, however, as some of the participants had gone to the toilets, the guide simply continued walking and explaning things, rather nonchalantly. As we have continued walking, half of the group has spread out (was forced to do so as it was not easy to find the guide if you are new to the place...). He was quite passionate regarding the place and historic value it holds, but yet, we had received barely any actual knowledge or at least a few more simple details would do, so we could've understood the whole picture. At last we could go and take a walk in the park for which we had 1 hour and 15 minutes. All in all maybe it was 1 hour and 30 minutes, but there is a important notice to add: When marketing short tours, please mention a few more timetable details not that we will have a minimim of 1 hour and 30minutes to explore (not true as the guide takes a minimum of 15 minutes to explain things) and as well, remove the stop at Wicklow mountain (20min) as there is none. Would recommend the tour if it extends the duration for 30 minutes or actually adds an extra stop for some pictures...

      Alex was amazing! So informative. Best guide to date. We went on several other guided tours and they failed in comparison to Alex. He was helpful, polite, funny, and he had a wealth of knowledge.

      Just book it.
      If you’re thinking about booking this day trip, just do it. It is long! You will be gone for 13 hours, but it’s well worth the views, the naps between sites, and items to check off your list with limited time. Our tour guide and driver were a hoot.

      Unforgettable Trip to the Cliffs of Moher!
      I recently went on the Cliffs of Moher tour with Paddywagon and had the best time! I was initially worried it might feel a bit touristy or rushed, but it was nothing like that. Our guide, Brian, was fantastic—super informative, kind, and genuinely passionate about sharing Ireland’s history and culture. We had plenty of time to take in the breathtaking views at the Cliffs, and the lunch stop was delicious. The whole experience was well-organized, comfortable, and fun. If you’re in Dublin and want a stress-free way to see the Cliffs of Moher, I’d absolutely recommend Paddywagon!

      Aaron is the bomb!
      Aaron (sorry if I misspelled your name) was awesome. Friendly, high-energy and personable are just a few words to describe him and his guide skills. The trip to the mountains, he made sure to point out and give a little history on landmarks and other sightseeing musts. He was punctual and a very safe driver. TY! Also, I lost the case for my earbuds and he found it for me. You're a blessing. TY so much!

      Best tour guide for a quick afternoon trip!
      Richard O’Brien was the best tour guide/bus driver! He was entertaining and engaging with many jokes and facts about Dublin, Ireland, Wicklow and Glendalough on our way to Glendalough. He helped guide us into the trail and gave tips on what we should do during our free time. On our way back, he gave everyone some time to rest on the drive back but as we got closer to Dublin, he gave some more tips for what to do in the city at night and explained other more locally known facts about the city such as what areas we should check out and avoid during the weekend and that stores don’t open until noon on Sunday. Would 100% recommend Richard as a guide!

      This was a fabulous tour! We were not sure about spending such a long day on a tour but are so glad we did!!! Brian was an amazing guide and we learned a lot but still had some quiet time to nap and relax. Timing was great and we enjoyed all of the stops!

      Hire a proper guide and let the Bus Driver just drive the Bus!
      I booked a tour for my parents who are visiting us in Ireland. We paid a lot for this tour and this is the feedback I got from my parents. The bus driver who was the tour guide as well was absolutely negative and miserable.. He kept complaining about living in Ireland and why people should never ever live in Ireland. He kept telling personal stories like how much rent his son has to pays him weekly which has absolutely nothing to do with the tour. Apparently he stopped at some random place to show people badly kept thatched roofing and spent time crapping on the owners for not maintaining their roof! Then he started prepping his chances for tips by saying” we don’t care what you do in your own country but in Ireland we expect tips”. He even added that he has a card machine so there is no excuse! We love living in Ireland and I really wanted my parents to experience the wonderful and friendly people as well but this dude does not represent this country and seemed like an absolute grouch! Cmon Paddywagon. Get better, professional and friendlier tour guides.

    Family of 15, including toddlers and an 11 yr old, enjoyed a spectacular itinerary hosted by Paddywagon Tours. Our driver, Dan, brought the trip to a whole new level with his warmth and personality and ability to be flexible when we made last minute changes to our day’s activities. He was always punctual and made sure we had all the info to make the most of each days adventures. The 20 person tour bus was clean and comfortable and Dan navigated those challenging Irish roads like a pro. Would highly recommend this tour company to others, and Dan in particular. We did the 6 day tour that included accommodations so all the planning was done for us. Dan even provided us with his grandson’s booster seat to supplement what we had available.

    This tour was nothing short of amazing. We’ve never seen all of Ireland (my first time here), and this was the perfect way to feel like you’re experiencing each highlight of the island, from Giants Causeway to Cliffs of Moher to the Ring of Kerry. The tour was well balanced and each spot was appropriately timed out. If you’re looking for a way to experience different areas of Ireland/understand its history and culture, this is a really good way to do it. We were very satisfied and really loved our group.

    And I can’t say enough good things about our driver/tour guide Danny. He was passionate, funny, knowledgeable, and an amazing storyteller. He was also incredibly considerate, ensuring that my pregnant wife didn’t carry a bag and that she was comfortable on the bus and in our room. He was really great. Some people told us he sings too, though you’ll have to ask him about that.

    Thanks to Danny and PW!

    The last 3 days of the tour was rushed, off schedule and missing stops. The bus was cramped, heat got stuck on high and had water leaks. The accommodations were pretty bad 3 of the nights. They had missing rooms and just felt very unorganized. Communication was bad from our second driver. We never knew what was next and when we would eat. Our lunch stop one day was at 4:00 pm after eating breakfast at 8:00. Our first driver Rory was good so the tour started out stronger and just went downhill quickly. That said we did enjoy Ireland and will be back, just no tour or perhaps a smaller more detailed company next time.

    Great way to see all the gems of Ireland and pick your favourite spots to explore again later. Dan was a fantastic guide, and even better singer! He had great recommendations for local sights, tours, and food. Kept us on time and made sure we were all taken care of, his local connections made tours easy to navigate and get the best of all the action. Sidekick Shay always helped us find our bus even after a pint or two, he’s a colourful individual ;) Highly recommend for travellers of all ages and adventure levels to explore the truly genuine Irish hospitality.

    We went on an awesome 6D/5N All Ireland trip in March 2023 and had a truly wonderful time exploring beautiful Ireland. What makes the trip even memorable is our Driver/Tour Guide, Dan Paddington. The tour group is fortunate to have Dan as our tour guide because he shared with us all the history of Ireland and we came back from the trip with better understanding of the amazing country of Ireland. Due to Dan's experience and dedication to his customers, we covered all the scheduled areas without any hitch. Dan, thanks again for what you do... you are truly OUTSTANDING!! Thanks a million for bringing us back SAFELY from this beautiful and memorable experience.

    I can’t recommend the 6 day “All Ireland” Paddywagon tour highly enough! My sister and I traveled together to celebrate my birthday and it was the most amazing vacation I’ve ever had. Ireland is absolutely gorgeous and the 6 day tour allowed us to see many of the major sites, as well as some beautiful views that were off the beaten path and tend to be bypassed on the shorter tours.
    Our tour guide, Cash, was amazing. He was knowledgeable about everything from the history and culture of Ireland to the best places to grab a meal/drink or catch some live music. The man seemed to know someone in everywhere we visited - not to mention he was great fun to hang out and chat with! He was also adventurous, hilarious, and seemed to be having just as much fun as we were. Cash seemed invested in us having a great trip, and I felt that our tour group was in very capable hands the whole time.
    (Also, shout-out to another guide, Danny, for being a sweetheart and a rockstar!)
    The accommodations were quite comfortable - my sister and I got the economy option and had plenty of space and separate beds all but one night. Our accommodations were always a short walk from the center of each city we were in, making it easy to explore on foot. (The backpacker options were similarly located, so the locations were great either way.) The included hot breakfasts were tasty and filling.
    Overall, I had a perfect trip with Paddywagon and I can’t wait to go back to Ireland for another tour!

    We went on this tour as a family of 3. Our tour guide Cash was amazing and in our son’s eyes, he could do no wrong. Everything was handled very well and we wasted minimum time in getting accommodations in a different city each evening (for 5 nights). There was ample time to see each tourist spot, the narration and historical perspective were on point, there were some pleasant surprises along the way, and everything was handled very efficiently. Cash made sure everyone felt included and taken care of.

    I had a great experience on this tour and highly recommend it if you want to get out of Dublin and see some of the other highlights of Ireland in a short period of time. I guess I was there a bit early in the tourist season because they had to book me on the 2-day Northern Ireland and 4-day Southwest Ireland tours separately due to low demand, but the itinerary was nearly identical. It was also nice because there were only a few travelers on a small bus and it felt almost like a private tour. Our driver Dan was friendly and very knowledgeable about the local history. He gave a clear explanation about the places visited, meeting times and locations, and good pub recommendations, all of which made for a wonderful trip!

    DC Chaffeur and driver/owner Brian made Ireland come alive with his wealth of knowledge about his country and could turn a phrase to make it all fun. We belly laughed at times as Brian became part of our family that loves to laugh. As Brian said, “Six days to do Ireland is a race to try and get in as much as possible”. But he took care of us with grace, humor and aplomb while educating us to the significance of each site we visited. You will find DC Chaffeur on any major internet search engine. So whether you need a driver for a few people for a day to a large bus group, I give 5 stars to DC Chaffeur. (And I have hired others in Ireland, Scotland and Spain/Portugal). Finally, If Brian stated a time he would arrive, he would be 5-10 minutes early. Hire DC Chaffeur for your next trip to Ireland.
