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.

*Likely to sell out: Based on Viator’s booking data and information from the provider from the past 30 days, it seems likely this experience will sell out through Viator, a Tripadvisor company.

    Great tour
    Paddy our tour guide was very good. He is informative and hospitible.

    I would have liked more time in the castle to explore during our free time after the train ride. Instead of 35 minutes ,perhaps an hour will be better . It was a Excell tour and I recommend it!

    Great Experience
    Ian Byrne was our tour guide, he did an awesome job. He went well above and beyond his call of duty to ensure we were all comfy and cozy. It was a very small group. The weather was a little bit windy and chilly but by no means unbearable. Ian took us to several locations to show us the history of his beautiful country. A native to Dublin, born and raised, he was very knowledgeable and extremely informative. Thank you Ian and paddywagon tours. We enjoyed ourselves thoroughly and hope to one day be back for more tours.

    complète and good
    The four days tour is well complete but guides vary greatly in Quality. Quigg was absolutely excellent for the day to the Cliff of Moher and Galvay , others from others days were Closer to organisers and not great guides although they made some efforts,they were missing context and a little short on explaning their trips. The day in Dublin is conceived as a DIY and was even missing an organiser, so not Bad but could certainly do better.....

    Couldn't have been better - thanks, Joe, our driver and guide
    I was traveling with two of my sisters and we chose Rabbie's small group tour with some trepidation in spite of the 5 star reviews we’d read. Expectations wildly exceeded. From the moment we gathered in central Dublin, our guide and driver Joe O’Connor made the five days a glorious adventure in the South West of Ireland.

    Whether on a tour or on ones own, the scenery and sites would have been marvelous (though it is hard to imagine we could have covered nearly as much on our own during the time). With Joe’s storytelling, clear narration as he drove and passion for Ireland, the tour couldn’t have been better. The days were chock-full yet without a hurried feel and the evenings in Galway (one night) and Killarney (three nights) gave us a chance to experience the vibrancy of each town.

    Simply perfect!
    We did the 5 day tour but it was not listed as an option on the review list. The tour was wonderful. Our guide Shane Kelly was wonderful, funny, hardworking, and a wealth of knowledge on the history of Ireland. The small group experience was so fun, you get to form relationships with the entire tour group, which makes every adventure more meaningful.

    Fantastic day
    Our day trip was wonderful. We had only ten in our group and enjoyed walking around Glendalough and Kilkenny at our own pace. The scenery was beautiful, along winding roads through the mountains and sheep country. Richard was a lovely guide, very funny and knowledgeable of the area. We recommend booking a tour with HilltopTreks.

    Fantastic way to see so much in a short time
    We had a fantastic tour with Dan around Kinsale, Blarney, & Kilkenny. The scenery was gorgeous, the coach was very comfortable, and Dan was incredibly knowledgeable and warm. We saw so much more than we would have seen on our own and Dan had great local knowledge and answers to all our questions!

    Received a refund for a trip cancelled by Covid
    Although it took awhile, we received our refund for a 6 day tour. I don’t believe they are dishonest or scammers. They were like all of us caught off guard when Covid happened and it could not be foreseen. I think like many business models they use future booking money to pay for expenses and salaries for current tours and when refunds were asked for there were no future tours to count on. I will most surely book with them again for a tour in 2022.
