I just completed the All Ireland, 5 night 6 day tour with Paddywagon. Brian was our awesome bus driver and guide and did a fabulous job. (I was a professional bus tour guide for five years) Easy to understand, gave great tips and concise but interesting narrative. Bnb accommodations were very good and more than I expected. Breakfasts were very good with many choices and made to order eggs, Full Irish brekie, etc. Belfast was a bit of a let down. Seems all is focused on long standing strife between Protestant and Catholics when they could be highlighting the positives and historical buildings and offerings of the city more. Titanic museum was good. Glad I did that option because others who did not said the four hours in downtown Belfast was a waste of time with not much to see or do. Dublin is filled with many museums, cultural things and shops to do. All other stops and overnights on the bus tour were fabulous and a great way to sort out more in depth future visits. Galway was teriffic for shopping, restaurants, history and nightlife. Buses themselves were fine. Wifi did not work on second bus we had but seats were more comfy. Pit stops for restrooms and a snack were well thought out and planned for since no bathrooms on buses. I was thrilled with fact that over half of our bus was young people (under 30yo) from all over the world. It was fun, lively and the group could be stealth and did not have to spend time boarding or unboarding. I have and will recommend Paddywagon day or multi day tours to anyone in the future! They do a great job of multi coordinating the different tour lengths for customers to pick up with an existing tour etc. For a couple days.
