Tripadvisor’s approach to reviews
Before posting, each Tripadvisor review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information, answering the following questions: how, what, where and when. If the system detects something that potentially contradicts our community guidelines, the review is not published.
When the system detects a problem, a review may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists, who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site.
Our team checks each review posted on the site disputed by our community as not meeting our community guidelines.

What travellers are saying
- Jamie HOntario, Canada100 contributionsIt was a great and truly entertaining day. Liam (driver) and Mike (I think - our guide) were a blast right from the very beginning with lots of light banter, great information, all in a very comfortable coach. Twas a wet day so it was a true Irish experience. Great tour with enough stops and breaks to make it never too long in the bus. Well done!!Written 5 October 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC. Tripadvisor performs checks on reviews.
- Jenny097Cedarburg, WI114 contributionsWhile it was a nice tour, and had some nice scenery, I was thinking there would be more. Just a lot of repetition of the same scenery...farm, cows, sheep, farm, cows, sheep. The bus was super crowded. When they stop for lunch, there is only one restaurant so everyone has to eat there. The only thing that was priced decently was the soup.Written 21 September 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- Taryn G2 contributionsAdrian, our tour guide did a great job! You could tell he enjoyed it, which makes it a lot better of an experience. Learned a lot and really enjoyed the sites!Written 28 September 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC. Tripadvisor performs checks on reviews.
- Tina BLancashire, UK54 contributionsBrilliant company, staff friendly and helpful, pick up point very close to hotel ( within a few minutes walk) Tony our driver was careful and considerate. Tim our guide was very knowledgeable and had a great sense of humour. Great places visited , given enough time in each stops to go your own way or just to sit and have a coffee and watch the world go by. The trip to Blarney was well worth it , we arrived early and beat the crowds. A must as it can get very congested and you’ll have to wait in a very long queue to kiss the stone.Written 26 September 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- Expedition689065Hartford, CT22 contributionsThe village of Cobh was incredibly quaint. We took the train from Cork which allows you to see the more rural areas in the south. Arriving in Cobh station was just a short walk to the village which is filled with colorful hillside homes and businesses. We strolled around town and then had a good workout walking to visit the striking St Colman’s Cathedral which sits on the hilltop and overlooks the enormous cruise port and shoreline. One suggestion would be to visit on a day there are no cruise lines at dock. This information is available online to see when cruise ships arrive and depart from Cobh.Written 24 September 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- Anonymous365Portland, OR16 contributionsKerry did an outstanding job on this tour! It was fun, delicious, perfectly paced (neither rushed nor bogged down with waiting), and informative. We learned much about fascinating Cork history as we jumped from vendor to vendor to sample cheeses, sausages, amazing breads, chocolates, meat pies, and of course Irish coffee. At nearly every stop we spoke with the owners and makers themselves.
Pickings will be slim for vegans (vegetarians won’t starve) and I wouldn’t recommend it for anyone with mobility issues. Those caveats aside, this was a must-do in Cork, esp. if you’re lucky enough to tour with Kerry, a Cork native and a delightful, witty guide.Written 25 September 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

Would definitely recommend!Written 3 October 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC. Tripadvisor performs checks on reviews.
- Roving4421994 contributionsMaryna was absolutely delightful! She was very knowledgeable, gave us a mini tour of the town, and her giggle is infectious! Let her take your photos. They will be some of the best from your trip! 10/10 recommend this tour. Y’all might consider the individual fm radios. If the guide is turned away, or more than a few steps away, it’s very difficult to hear.Written 26 September 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- Jennifer6 contributionsThe overall trip was very good. Be prepared for a long ride to and from Cork. We got to see many of the sites without having to rent a car, which was worth all the time and money. I would also be sure to expect intense wind and, of course, rain!Written 27 August 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- CP CParis, France20 contributionsAbsolutely delighted with this tour company. Great service, took in some great sights. My mother-in-law went with them recently and had a great time. She mislaid an earring in one of the B&Bs and Paddywagon not alone went out of their way to get the earring back for her, but wouldn’t accept any money for the postage. They really take customer satisfaction seriously, can recommend 100%.Written 28 September 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- Michelle R1 contributionI really enjoyed this trip. I am glad we did the two day tour and got to stay overnight in Cork. We especially loved the Cliffs of Moher. The bus drive home was too long. We went out of our way to switch buses.Written 11 September 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC. Tripadvisor performs checks on reviews.

- CurlySue1371Dublin, Ireland41 contributionsI have heard so much about the beautiful scenery of Dingle and I have decided to travel to Cork and take the Dingle Tour with Paddywagon Tours on the 2d of November. The tour included a visit to Killarney, Inch Beach, Slea Head Drive and the village of Dingle. It was an amazing trip because we got to see the Dingle peninsular and the Wild Atlantic an hour before a storm hit the peninsular. The scenery was both beautiful and dramatic. I only regret that we did not have enough time to explore and enjoy the scenery. May be because our tour guide Paudy was a bit in a hurry to show us everything and drive away before the weather got any worse. We had only about 15 minutes at the Inch Beach and about 20-25 minutes at the Slea Head Drive.Written 11 November 2018This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- Ken MLarchmont, NY9 contributionsFour of us had only a day to explore Kinsale, and we were very fortunate to have chosen this tour. First and foremost, our tour guide Kerry couldn’t have been nicer, more interesting, and more knowledgeable! Each of our five stops offered a different tasting experience - in each case, a table was waiting for us and we were offered a special selection of delightful food and drink. The tastings were all very local and very fresh, and memorable. In between stops, we were able to explore the beautiful and historic Kinsale in a relaxed fashion, with Kerry’s warm conversation and informative descriptions. Definitely the best way we could have spent our day in Kinsale!Written 12 September 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- CharliefromMaineChina, ME32 contributionsThis is a top-shelf company!
We had only 2 couples on our tour - and a lesser company would have cancelled our trip. Not Munsterbus. We had a wonderful time and our driver Tony Murphy was fantastic.
We had a good blend of historic sites and great scenic views. Tony stopped in some well-hidden places for photos and stretching our legs. He also gave us great advice about where to go for lunches and walking around each of the towns.
The hotels were all 4-Star (out of a possible 4 stars). All were very well appointed and all had a bar for evening relaxation. Tony pointed out area pubs that feature music too.
When you're in Kilkenny, be sure to visit the Hole in the Wall Pub. It's TINY, seating about 8 people, and it will take a bit of well-rewarded work to find it. The atmosphere is like something our of a novel - and to our absolute delight, a local stopped in and started playing Irish music on a "music box" (like a small accordion)!
We visited the Blarney Stone. If you're at all claustrophobic, do NOT go. Climbing up the castle steps involved some very small walkways with low overhead. It's worth noting that if you want to kiss the (unsanitized!!! Blarney Stone. you have to get on the ground, lay on your back and slide into position, looking up at the sky. Of course, there's a concession-type photographer, who will happily sell you a photo when you finally get to the bottom.
We opted instead for a photo, shot by our tour mate) of my wife and I having a kiss in front of the Blarney Stone. Close enough in my estimation.
Fair warning about the Cliffs of Moher. It's WINDY - my best guess is that it was close to hurricane force. I'd say 55 MPH+.
Our guide, Tony Murphy, came through once again. He told us there is a not-very-obvious golf-cart operation that takes people both up and back - and we took full advantage of that.
That operation is - of course - named "The Lifts of Moher" and to top it all off, there's a gift shop named "The Gifts of Moher".
We went the end of September, straddling into October. Dress warmly as the temperatures are starting to drop. Wear layers and you'll be fine.
Finally, I give both Tony Murphy and Munsterbus Tours my highest possible recommendation. They're a 12./10!
PS - please consider booking directly with Munsterbus. Their contact information is on the bus (see photos).Written 4 October 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC. Tripadvisor performs checks on reviews.
