A nicer option would have been to visit the Burren caves or Bunratty Castle vs just the pit stop or drive by. The ride back was long but nice touch with the Irish music. The tour guide/bus driver was great. Thank you Brian! Stop at the Cliffs was just long enough. Did not need the added lunch stop, (company restaurant/cash grab) could have picked something at the Cliffs cafe. First Ireland tour, we usually do it all on our own, will choose other stop options if we ever tour again.

The Cliffs of Moher were beautiful. The lunch restaurant was so cozy and the Fish and Chips were excellent. We made a 3rd stop at a small shopping area with food and a castle. We only had 30 minutes there. I would not stopping at the additional cliffs and had a longer time at the last stop. Aiden our bus driver was very funny and did a great job. I highly recommend.

Ive left this review before but it seems to have been posted in the wrong place. We were picked up at the cruise port. The coach was hidden just around the corner outside the security area. Our driver was Gabriel. He headed straight to Blarney Castle, we were the very first group to arrive and get tickets for the castle. The grounds are stunning and expansive. The only trouble here was not enough time allowed to enjoy them properly. I would come again and easily spend a whole day here. We had a look around the Woollen Mills shops and bought a couple of souvenirs. Then back on the coach for a drive through Cork with Gabriel giving us a comprensive vocal guide. Then to Kinsale where we had some free time to wander. We ended up in the village square, where the pub had outside seating. Its just got to be done! A lovely hour or so in the sun with a Guinness. Then he headed back to the cruise port in plenty of time. Gabriel gave us plenty of information along the way and his commentary was clear and concise. Many thanks to Paddywagon Tours for a great day. I wouldn't hesitate to book with them again.

I felt like a vagabond since they told me the morning of my Dingle trip that Dingle was cancelled due to a marathon. Driver offered me last seat on back of bus bound for Ring of Kerry. I took it. I wasn't disappointed visiting the towns of Killarney, Waterside, and Sneem, although the driver kept promoting stops that required extra money to enjoy, such as the peasant village in Ballintleaf, the pony cart ride in Killarney, and lunch at a Lobster Shack in Waterside. Some great roadside stops made up for it, including the best bay in the Ring of Kerry. Glad I went, but my advice is not to fall for all the shuck expenses along the way.

The stops at sights were very short. It is not a standout tour, is just OK. Next time, I will look at minibus tours.

Our bus driver Brian was great and had a lot of knowledge of the area. The only thing I would change is to take out the “baby cliffs”. We were there for 20 minutes and it was a waste of time. I would add that 20 minutes to Bunready castle. There is a lot to do there and 20 minutes was not enough

We had a wonderful day out with Paddywagon Tours - we would definitely recommend it! We boarded the bus in Cork and travelled to Killarney town centre. We opted for the additional horse drawn carriage ride through Killarney National Park and it did not disappoint, the views across the park were beautiful. We made various stops along the bus route at picturesque points and visited The Kerry Bog Village. We stopped for lunch at the beautiful Waterville beach before boarding the bus to other picture-stops and stopping in Sneem for icecream. We finished the day with a tour through the stunning Black Valley and a stop at Torc Waterfall, before heading back to Cork. A great day out, thank you Paddywagon Tours!

The trip itself was exactly what I would expect by this experience. You'll travel around a wilder side of Ireland and stop in many beautiful and hidden locations. Even if it's quite long, the frequent stops make it bearable. Along the way there are optional activities you can do if interested.

One of the best tours we’ve done. Must do this if you’re anywhere in the area! The weather was miserable but we still had a wonderful time so can be done anytime of year really.

This office and company not only discriminated against my fiance because of her allergies, but we didn't even get refunded for the booking they wouldn't allow us on like they promised. To be clear, they wouldn't allow us on the bus, we were promised a refund, and we didn't get it. We had problems with this office over email before the trip but after speaking with their head office in Dublin over the phone, we thought things got cleared up and that my fiance would be accommodated for her allergies. Upon arriving at the pickup location the morning of the tour, the tour guide said he couldn't do what most airlines do and request that passengers not consume nuts because "most of them don't speak english". He knew we were supposed to be going on the tour and disclosed that he just ate nuts that morning followed by stating that because my fiance was deathly allergic to nuts that for "health and safety" he could not allow us on the bus (for the tour we paid for). When trying to rectify the situation with an employee in the tour company office, they refused to help as well. They told us the only other option was a Private tour (costing 5 times the price of this tour) or to take public transit. The woman at the office promised a refund would be made and that she would expedite the process by contacting head office. I took this woman at her word but after many emails since the 18th of August, we have not received our refund and they have not replied to any of our communication requests or emails. The good - if you have no allergies, you can have a reasonable costing bus tour to the cliffs of Moher The bad - they will not give your money back and will not reply to any electronic communication. They probably will not even reply to this review. I would not recommend this company especially not from their Cork office. This experience has left my fiance feeling like she will never return to Ireland at all.

Such an amazing experience! So glad we did the tour instead of attempting to drive it on our own. We picked up sandwiches in Killarney for lunch later in Waterville so that we could spend the whole 40 minutes by the water and not waiting for our food. Best decision we made! Definitely recommend this tour.

Our tour guide Brian was very mean and nasty to the guests. He wouldn’t allow us to speak to each other on the bus or he said wouldn’t tell us anything else for the tour. One passenger got the point of asking was he ever a teacher because he was treating us all like children the entire day. He refused to help me with putting my moms wheelchair under storage and because of this, he didn’t notice when he opened the under storage door that the wheelchair was stuck. When I went to shift the wheelchair, the door fell on me, injuring my leg and smashing my arm. Even then, Brian did not help. Another passenger had to yell at him to open the door to release my arm. Another paggywagon tour guide nearby laughed, insisting I was drunk. Neither Brian nor the other guide stepped in neither to help nor did he apologize for me getting hurt. Besides this poor experience, the actual tour itself was not what we paid for. Brian seemed to want to go home early for the day, so we only got 40 minutes in Killarney town center. This gave you about enough time to sprint to one thing you could see and sprint back. Only 5 people in our tour actually made it to the town center and they were all sweating and panting when they returned. Despite not getting to see this, we kept on with the tour to find out we would not see half of the sites listed in the itinerary. Brian decided to drive past dingle bay because he didn’t like how many cars were parked so we missed the entirety of the experience. I sincerely wished I had just drove myself and my mom, and we could’ve enjoyed the day much more. Within one hour of the tour I noted this and even took it as far as to research the cost of an Uber back to our car in cork to drive ourselves back. We were undeniably displeased with this experience and I would highly recommend just driving yourself through and reading the signs of information as you go. Trust me you’d have a better day. I don’t know how this company was awarded anything, by far one of the worst tours I’ve been on. Spare yourself the bad day. Brian should find a new job, something he actually enjoys. Because people and touring just isn’t his calling.

Brian was our driver and was absolutely fantastic! On our way up and back he provided us with a terrific history of Ireland as a whole and on a smaller scale of some of the places we drove through and sights we passed by. There were plenty of stops for restroom breaks and to grab a quick bite, or even a pint of you're fast enough. The Cliffs of Moher were beautiful (we were lucky to have a clear day) and we had plenty of time to hike the trails in either direction. We even had time to check out the gift shop which had great mix of cheesy and more upscale souvenirs. We didn't stop in Doolin like the site said, perhaps an update is coming, but the place we did stop at for lunch (the Frantic Chef) was delicious and efficient. I think my favorite stop, though, was Burren Way (the Baby Cliffs) becuse it was unlike anything if seen before. I'll admit part of me was worried about spending a whole day traveling to spend just a few hours at the sights, but it turned out to be a really great day we were happy to have a guide and a seasoned professional handling the roads for us!

John was an excellent guide! He was very knowledgeable about the sites and kept us all entertained. The stops were well timed; we especially loved the jaunting in Killarney National Park! We would highly recommend this tour… and would never dare to drive on these narrow mountainous roads on our own! Thank you for a wonderful day!

Crying disappointing shame of a tour. The driver Gerrard was smoking. Like, actual cigarettes aflame smoking and puffing little clouds. He nearly steered us off the road by trying to light a cig. I filmed him. He was also very busy texting, calling, eating, drinking - basically anything you like except driving with any care. The tour guide was immature - didn't have any depth of knowledge about the area or the tour or surroundings. She googled for info. I felt like I was on that episode of UK Apprentice where they do the tour hosting challenging. Absolute mess. We boarded 0730 at Cork and returned 1800. That's 10.5 hours. About 8.5 hours were spent on the bus. And it wasn't comfortable, it wasn't the itinerary as expected, the usb charging points didn't work. Loads of people were complaining and suffering, including those who called in to Paddywagon HQ. Did anyone from HQ help us? No. Has anyone offered a refund? No. As for the sights themselves, there's not much to see. It's two stops at a variety of cliffs. I mean, they're cliffs. I've been other places, including in Ireland, where sights are much more impressive. I've written to Paddywagon to demand a refund.
