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.

    Blarney Castle has always been a bucket list for me! We opted for this tour to see some other sites coupled with The Blarney Castle.
    It was a small group (only 8 of us). We sat in the back of the bus, which was very comfortable with a lot of legroom (backpacks + shopping bags too)!
    Collin, our tour guide, was very knowledgeable about each site and gave us tidbits of info before he began driving to the next site.
    Since we went in December, each site, was pretty much empty! We literally walked right through the castle and up the steps to kiss the stone. We also had LOTS of time to explore each room as it was empty (seriously, if we saw 15 people that was a lot)!
    The steps up to the stones were really tight and narrow, however the rope was a huge help and made it super easy! Once up top, it’s not for the faint of heart…open air and if you look over, lots of butterflies!
    We loved every second and would highly recommend!

    Cobh, a charming harbor town in County Cork, offers a variety of fascinating places to visit. Here are some highlights:

    1. **Spike Island**: Often referred to as "Ireland's Alcatraz," this historic island has served as a monastery, fortress, and prison. Today, it's a popular tourist attraction where you can explore its rich history and enjoy stunning views of Cork Harbour.

    2. **Titanic Experience Cobh**: Located in the original White Star Line ticket office, this interactive museum provides a poignant insight into the Titanic's last port of call. It's a must-visit for history enthusiasts.

    3. **St. Colman's Cathedral**: This magnificent Gothic Revival cathedral dominates the town's skyline. Its intricate architecture and panoramic views from the bell tower make it a favorite spot for visitors.

    4. **Cobh Heritage Centre**: This museum offers a deep dive into Cobh's maritime history, including its role in the emigration of millions of Irish people and its connection to the Titanic and Lusitania disasters.

    5. **Deck of Cards**: These colorful, terraced houses are one of Cobh's most photographed landmarks. They offer a picturesque view, especially when seen from the waterfront.

    6. **Fota Wildlife Park**: Just a short drive from Cobh, this wildlife park is home to a variety of animals from around the world. It's a great place for a family outing.

    7. **Cobh Museum**: Housed in a former Presbyterian church, this museum showcases artifacts and exhibits related to the town's history, including its maritime and military past.

    8. **Cobh Harbour**: Take a leisurely stroll along the waterfront, enjoy the scenic views, and perhaps even take a boat tour to explore the harbor and its surroundings.

    The 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!

    Today Dec 19th we were treated to our guide/driver Kevin. He was an absolute rockstar driver and guide that was knowledgeable and invested in our adventure. As it was the winter season, Kevin made sure to allow us to see spectacular sights that are normally difficult to visit in the busy season. The skies opened up for us today making our adventure memorable. Thank you Paddy Wagon for an unforgettable day.

    I 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.

    Maurice was AMAZING! Informative, funny and professional. The 5 star review began with his communication prior to the tour itself. He picked us up on time in his beautiful car and we were off. The sun came out, and he told us about the history of the landmarks and places we passed along the way.
    If you take one tour while in Ireland, this should be it!

    Loved this tour. We were 4 of us from India and got to experience the Irish countryside. The tour was well organised and without any major delays..the guides were knowledgeable and friendly. They made it a point to talk and keep everyone engaged. Special mention to our guide whose name I think is John who was very funny ( John if you are reading this - it's summer time in Dublin during the Jazz festival ;) )

    I 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.

    Derek was prompt in pickup and kept us on schedule the entire day. However, we never felt rushed and were able to explore everything as promised plus a few extra little gems. Derek is thorough in his knowledge of Ireland and history. There wasn’t a question that he didn’t k ow the answer to…he is an Ireland history buff. He was also personable, easy to talk to and quite a hoot…kept us laughing throughout the trip. We definitely recommend this tour and his expert tour guide service!

    We had an amazing tour through Ireland in July, 2024 with Munster Bus Tours! They were a 10 out of 10 for service, tour guide, follow up, price and FUN! We were a family of 7 and not only did our tour guide Tony bring us around to all the places on our list, we went off the beaten path and he showed us an Irish experience we will never ever forget. His humor and kindness were out of this world! I would definitely use this tour company again and highly recommend them for all your Ireland planning needs! Kudos to both Tony our tour guide and Cathy who assisted in our planning. We had a memorable Ireland trip!

    Absolutely 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%.

    Brilliant 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.
