    Our guide, Michael, was great. His knowledge of the tour area was impressive and interesting. The drive was beautiful and we got to see so much of the Irish coast. Well worth your time.

    Awesome trip with my fiancé! The driver was super informative so we learned a lot on the bus. Had a couple quick, good meals in the places we stopped. We chose to do an awesome hike in the national park.

    My mom and I spent 10 days in Ireland and I can honestly say this tour was probably my favorite part of the trip! Beautiful sights and our tour guide Michael was an absolute gem!! I highly recommend this tour company and this tour specifically, would totally take it again on our next trip because the sights and people are unbelievable!

    Our guide, Mike, made the experience unforgettable. The Abbey was closed due to Storm Eowyn. Most Villages had no power or water. He still made sure we saw everything we wanted, charmed us with his intense knowledge and witty dialogue, and answered all our questions enthusiastically. His knowledge is incredible, and he was the difference that made the trip truly unforgettable. The park was beautiful and the hike up the mountain was intense. It’s a lot of stone stairs so wear grippy shoes. The wind will nearly knock you over but very worth it.

    Thrilled with the guide, the tour, the cost, what we saw, the food, the experience, the pace, absolutely everything. Particularly loved the abbey…the sheep dog experience…the lunch in the quaint pub and the great insights and experience that Bogdan provided! Best experience we could have hoped for!!! Highly recommend!!!

    What a fabulous tour this was! Ireland is a truly beautiful country and this three day tour allowed us to see so much of it with all the hassle of organisation and driving taken gratefully from our hands. We got so lucky with the weather given that it was January. We were part of a very small group (not surprising given the time of year) and so our wonderful tour guide Steve could be flexible and make sure we saw more of what we wanted (castles) and adapt our trip for the weather. I would highly recommend Paddywagon Tours. They are the experts for touring in Ireland. Thanks to our guide Steve for being so friendly and hospitable.

    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%.

    Colleen was fantastic. She is very personable and knowledgeable. She made the best of a rainy day. The Kylemore Abbey is extremely beautiful.

    Brilliant trip, leaving Oughterard pier stopping on a little island then going to Ashford castle to look around the gardens and little village of Cong. Great guides who gave us a history of the island with Irish humour. Brilliant day. See for yourselves on photos which say it all!

    We took the trip on a Sunday. On Sunday, the tour skips Connemara, but there was no mention of this in the information on the Paddywagon site. We were disappointed & may not have chosen this tour if we had known.

    This trip was confusing and of poor quality. The website lists different stops but this was our itinerary:
    Day 1. 6 hr drive to Galway with 3 short stops beside a road. We were left in Galway at 2 pm for 20 hours. We were picked up the next day at 1030 am to go to……..Galway for an hour!
    Day 2. See the FIRST -and last- place of interest at Cliffs of Moher at 2 pm. Then 4 hrs to Dublin with one stop at a gas station.
    To summarize: no Glengowla,no Burren, no Corcomroe Abbey, no Bunratty Castle, and no actual information about anything in two days that we couldn’t have picked up from 4 minutes on the internet.

    We were a group of five friends on a girls trip and chose to splurge on a private tour. Spoiler: so worth the money! Tom was a GREAT guide and Mother Nature was also on our side ☀️, though Tom mentioned he always has a back up plan for challenging weather days. We had terrific views of the countryside and we leisurely pulled over at all the key sites (he even entertained our one friend who insisted on getting out to interact with a roadside donkey :). Topped it off with the Cliffs of Moher - was a wonderful day.

    We had an amazing time with Derek as our private tour guide while staying in Ireland. We were so lucky that he had last minute availability and though it was a long day for us (taking the train from Dublin to Galway then immediately starting the tour), it was so beyond worth it. Connemara is one of the most beautiful places I’ve ever seen and as someone who has seen the cliffs of Moher and many other sites around Ireland before, and been to many other scenic spaces around America, Europe and Latin America, this was one of my favorite places in terms of beauty and intrigue. We opted out of the sheepdog part due to timing, but the wild Atlantic way, and the gorgeous views of lakes and ocean and mountains could not be beat. Kylemore is kind of just an added bonus, and it itself is beautiful. The real selling point is the gorgeous country and the incredible tour guide. We would highly recommend this tour to anyone looking to make the most of time in Galway. We had 48 hours in the city total and it was a trip highlight to get to do this tour!! Thank you to Derek and to you as a potential customer- if you are on the fence or debating a big group tour for financial reasons, do this tour. We had an infinitely better time for choosing a private and authentic experience.

    Sorin was a knowledgeable and safe driver. My 3 boys really enjoy this tour. We also added a sheep farm demonstration. So much fun!

    Glad I booked this tour. Each stop was fascinating and photo worthy. Tony was a great guide, providing lots of historical information, humor, and conversation. An excellent day!
