Paddywagon Tours Review

It was an amazing trip.

Patrick the driver/guide knows a lot and is very talented in delivering information.

1.25 hours for the cliffs is definitely not enough.

The tours are great.. but the guy we went was a bit tough guy, was a peaceful trip..

The tour was great and the driver hilarious but a bit hasty. The overall experience is great tho!

3 Day Tour Of Southern Ireland has been incredible. We've seen Dublin, Kerry, Adare, Kilarney, Blarney, Galway Cliffs of Moher and Kerry. Thank you Paddywagon, thank you very much Alex. We will be back. It was a wonderful mix of touring, exploring, historic artefacts and enjoying the lifestyle of the Irish people. #paddywagon #bustours

I had the pleasure of touring to Giant's Causeway and the Cliffs of Moher with Darren as our tour guide. Both days were amazing!! I can't express enough how much these trips made our Ireland experience complete. Darren had a great personality, was funny, and most of all very knowledgeable of the country's history and landmarks as we drove to our destinations. The coach bus we took was very nice and comfortable, the views at each stop were unbelievable, and the food stops that we made had really tasty dish options. I would definitely recommend Paddywagon Tours to anybody coming to Ireland.

The best experience with guided tours. Thank you very much. :-)

The driver/guide Richard was excellent, he made our experience totally different, jokes, history and monument descriptions made our trip richer and richer. we had a lot of fun and he was definitely one of the highlight of the day seriously! I m not sure if other drivers are same but highly encourage this culture in Paddywagon.

Jackie was wonderful! Very professional and lots of great Ireland history and stories. Funny jokes too. A memorable experience ! ( Jackie even provided a double rainbow- haha)

It was a great trip. Covered all the important places. Jimmy was a great guide and knowledgeable about the local history and famous spots.

My friend and I took two tours so far and really enjoyed them! The time you get at each stop unfortunately has to be short due to drive time and a vigorous itinerary, but each tour covers a lot in a day trip. We were running late to our second tour since we are staying on the other side of town, they waited as long as they could, but we missed it. They got us on a different tour an hour later to substitute the one we missed. Paul is very knowledgable and entertaining! We will definitely go with Paddywagon next time.

Excellent timekeeping, nice couch, superfriendly drivers. Well spaces toilet breaks, nice stopover for lunch. Enjoyed a day out to Cliffs to Moher!

Our guide was Leigh. His summary of Northern Irish history was excellent. And he was a very good host. Made for an excellent experience for us.

Cliffs of moher aas beautiful and Val aas excellent a lot of enthusiasm and humor

We had an amazing experience with Val at the Cliffs of Moher. So much so we booked two more tours with Paddywagon. We lucked up and had Val again with a smaller group tour to Blarney castle. Val has so much personality, and you can tell he loves his job, Ireland, and the people on his tours.
Our third and final tour was to Kilkenny with Lee, who was also so lovely.
Thank you for making our honeymoon so memorable. I would definitely recommend booking through this company. Their staff is knowledgeable and friendly. You are in for some good craic!!!

It was a surprise to hike along the lake and snap a variety of photos. A great scenic tour & taste of the country side! Would recommend for the price.

A great way to travel and explore new places. Our driver Dan is a nice, interesting and fun guide.

Great tour down south to Glendalough and Kilkenny. Starts around 9:00 and ends around 18:00. Guide was informative and funny. A must when visiting Dublin!

Booked and dreaded sitting on a bus all day to see the cliffs. Any doubt I had was shredded when Val our guide introduced himself. He was energetic, enlightening and entertaining from the first time he opened the door to the last. All the while navigating roads in a huge bus that I couldn t drive a Mini Cooper down, managing 59 people and our itinerary to keep us safe and on time . If/when I come back, I m only taking tours that he leads. I learned more from him about Ireland than I have from the rest of the world for 41 years. Do yourself a favor and book them, the cliffs were majestic. Ask for Val s bus for a guaranteed good time. Bring your usb charging cord, outlets above each seat, WiFi worked almost all day, AC was spot on as well.

Flinton was an amazing guide, thoroughly enjoyed my tour to Giants causeway

I loved visiting Ireland and the tours were great !! and very punctual!

We had a great day with Paddywagon Tour and our driver John Kelly was particularly fantastic.

We had an amazing time on our tour. We were able to see so many different sights and parts of Ireland, and our tour guide Rory was knowledgeable as well as enjoyable! When things didn't end up going quite as planned, Rory quickly found something else for us to do or to see. I would definitely recommend this tour to anyone who wants to see all of Ireland. We loved our trip and hope to do it again some day!

We had a lovely trip with my mum visiting Ireland to see Belfast and the Titanic on the 13th Dec 2017. I can't remember the name of our driver, but he was excellent, very polite, informative and the whole experience was really positive. Nice and cosy mini bus took us to Belfast, and even though it was lashing rain in parts, it was still very enjoyable. I would probably welcome a bit more time in Belfast city as we didn't get to see much in that short space of time. Overall, I would definitely recommend this tour to everyone!

The Moher Cliffs excursion was exceptional. The ride was enjoyable, the guide was delightful and all the stops were well-paced and specifically at high quality stations. Excellent experience all-around, my family and I would recommend it to everyone.

Cliffs of Moher tour from Dublin with James was amazing. If you re thinking about it, just do it, you won t be disappointed!

Had such a great time! Saw the Cliffs of Moher and Giants Causeway. I used paddywagon 8 years ago as well and they were just as fabulous Val and Finton were two thumbs up! Full of laughs and the scenery,well.. You can't beat it

Our guide, Tiernan, was fantastic! Knowledgeable and entertaining.

Very pleasant and interesting tour with magnificent landscapes when the weather is nice, when it rains it is not really worth it.
Note that you have to pay an additional 10 euros to cross the Carrick-a-Rede rope bridge. There is a shuttle bus which transports people to Giant's Causeway for 2.40 round trip, but if you have no problem walking it is better to go down and back up on foot.
The explanations from guide Richard O'Brien were interesting, but you must have a certain level in English.

Our tour guide Val was the best, very entertaining and interactive. This was my first paddywagon tour but second tour to giant causeway and this is the best one yet!!!

Excellent tour! The Blarney castle was amazing, so were the gardens and the nature all around it. It was a tour with great fun and humour from our driver!

We did the small tour in the Mercedes Van to the Giants Causeway, Belfast and small stops between from Dublin. There ended up being my party and a single person which made the experience more fexible to what we wanted to see and for how long. The driver was very nice and knowledgeable while making sure that we had a great experience. We have another tour with a larger group in a few days. I am looking forward to the same quality of care.

Would definitely recommend this tour. Gavin (driver / guide) was great - unfortunately we had to change drivers from the ride back from Belfast to Dublin so did not get a chance to tip him, but he was great. Beautiful scenery to see, was very impressed and PaddyWagon was very reliable and made the experience easy. Thank you! (only comment I would have is that at the lunch stop, the chicken goujons were a bit dry - the steak guiness pie seemed to be the better option!)

Tour was great along with the guide. Dermit was very knowledgeable and entertaining. We had the best day in Ireland and the views were amazing. The stop for lunch was rushed and we did not have anytime to eat and or explore. The other stop for shopping etc was also rushed. But overall the ride to and from was awesome and our guide was also. Would recommend this to others.

Super Operation- We Took 3 one day tours from Dublin and think it is a good way to discover Ireland. Each trip was Very
Different and Drivers had great personalities

I did a tour to the cliffs, it was great and the bus ride was very convinient. The bus drives are very knowlageable aboht everything Ireland. The only thing I did not like was that we where rushed everywhere we went. The first stop we made was at a rest stop for bathroom and food. The driver told us to be back in 15 min and at the time exactly he was rolling out. There was a dad on the bus telling him that his two kids and his wife where still not on the bus but he did not care. He said that it was okay because there was another bus behind us from the same company and that we would meet up after. After that I found myself running back to the bus at the other stops we did afraid that the driver would leave with out me. I understand staying in a time schedule is important but we made it back to Dublin a whole 30 min before we where suppose to. So maybe if he would of waited for the family we could of avoided that.

Other than that the tour was good.

The bus driver was so nice and funny, the tour is cool I highly recommend it

Our Cliffs of Moher tour was a pleasant experience. It was even made funnier and exciting by our driver/tour guide Richard O brien. Kept the group upbeat and on schedule! Keep it up!

We did the Cliffs of Moher tour with Darren and it was the greatest tour we ve done in Ireland thus far. Darren was so entertaining and full of life and I felt like he truly wanted us to have a great time and it certainly showed.

The only advice I would make is that the place they take you to lunch be aware that a few hundred people were on there way because we ended up waiting in line for the majority of our given lunch time which was the only downfall.

Other than that; it was absolutely amazing! I would definitely recommend booking a tour through them!

Leigh was an AMAZING tour guide. He was very helpful, informative, friendly, and funny. My family was visiting me from the US and it was our first time going out to the Cliff of Moher. He drove very well and safely, and had many great stories to tell us on our way that were told in an interactive way. I would highly recommend this tour and especially Leigh. Thanks for a wonderful experience

The tour was well-organized, informative and fun! Our tour guide Lee was funny, knowledgeable and made sure we knew how to maximize our trip. Would 100% book again!

The Paddy wagon tour to the Cliffs of Moher was amazing! The bus was prompt and the driver made sure we all knew our itinerary and how long we had at each stop - he made sure to let us know that as long as we stayed on schedule we would be ahead of the other busses and make it to our destinations before they got busy. Our driver was informative and helpful, he gave us back stories and historical notes while keeping things light and funny. He also gave us quiet times to enjoy the views or nap. The bus itself was comfortable and enables WiFi the entire duration of the trip. Would definitely book again!

The Trip was beautiful, the driver made sure we were picked on time and also made sure we did not miss any of the view points !! I would recommend Paddy wagon tours a 100%

This was the highlight of our trip to Ireland. Michael the driver was the most fantastic tour guide we ever had. Thank you.

The best experience I have ever had on a tour. Our tour guide was so amazing, his name was Val and I would go on another one of his tours in a heartbeat. He was funny, and entertaining on the long drive to Northern Ireland. You can tell his passion for what he does, and it was refreshing. He was very knowledgeable and answered any questions we had. We went on a Northern Ireland Tour from Dublin and it was well worth it. I highly recommend.

Great experience! The cliffs were beautiful but a bit foggy.

Our driver Gavin was fantastic! Everything was well organized and in time.

Rory was a great guide and the experience I had was excellent! I enjoyed my birthday during the tour despite going solo as everyone in the group was nice and the places we went to were stunning. The accommodations were also ok. Too bad, though, the road was closed in Kerry so we were unable to see the Ring of Kerry as planned. Nevertheless, everyone had fun!

Pleasant, fun guide, magnificent landscapes! It was great !

The day was filled with many stops to places we would have never had the privilege of seeing/experiencing had it not been for Paddywagon Tours!

It was our best day in Ireland, so far!

Our driver Darren rocked it. A lot of information, good personality and many places visited in a very short amount of time. Excellent value for the money.

Our driver, Barry, was amazing! We stopped everywhere you wanYes to go. Seats were comfy. Sleeping arrangements were great too! We had a large group of 7, ages from 17-65.

Amazing experience with an excellent guide (Dan): Thanks very much!

We had a fantastic trip to the Cliffs of Moher with Paddywagon tours. Our driver, Val was brilliant. He was very entertaining and informative through-out the day. Would highly recommend this tour and this company.

Lovely people, lovely guides. Their extensive knowledge about places and the professional yet friendly way of conducting tours is really commendable.

This was my second tour with Paul and it was of course amazing. The weather did not allow for the best of views but the tour guide was very funny and informative. He works with each group for every trip and if there are any special requests he will accommodate them to the best of his ability. Would not go with any other tour company.

Our driver, Gavin, was absolutely amazing. Very funny and had a story for everything.

I had a great experience. I believe my Tour Guides name was Joe or John. He was amazing. He was very knowledgeable and was very comical. He kept us very entertained. I would definitely recommend this company to others.

Val was an amazing tour guide!!! Hilarious and made the bus ride enjoyable, didnt even mind spending time driving between stops. Perfect amount of time for each stop, would recommend for anyone looking to get in some sight seeing

Bus driver is late, rude and there is a lack of communication.

We took the 6 day tour with Alex as our guide. Everything was excellent. Alex told informative and entertaining stories of Ireland. He went out of his way to make our travels comfortable and engaging. The best! The accommodations and breakfast fare were all outstanding - especially unbelievable given the very very reasonable price of the trip. My son and I are geeky history, literature, hiking, and politics fans and this tour covered all those bases...in addition to the more lively types of fun to be found in Ireland. We enjoyed each day and are thrilled that we chose the six day tour.

FRAUD! We booked an excursion in July for 40 and when we got to the meeting point there was nobody there. The excursion did not take place and as of today they have not returned our money. They tell us that when making the return from the building and teleworking they cannot return the money, but if they can continue selling excursions that they do not do ...

Very good. They could just give you more time to stay on the Cliffs. I found an hour and a half very little time.

Very enjoyable, well run, informative tour of the Ring of Kerry.

Such an amazing tour with equally amazing people. Our tour guide, Barry personalized the experience for us- took recommendations for a few stops even. We already had tons of great stops on the itinerary...literally nothing was a disappointment. Barry is patient and quick witted. We felt safe and informed the entirety of the trip. 10/10 would recommend Paddywagon tours and Barry! Incredible experience.

Alex was a great tour guide! I highly recommend this service & tour company

Had a great time with Val! He is an excellent guide, loads of laughs and beautiful sites. Some may say it's a very "touristy" thing to do, but the trip to the Cliffs of Moher is more than worth it!

Dermot was awesome. We loved the paddy wagon! Comfy seats WiFi and usb charger made it an easy ride.

I was on the Cliff of Mohers tour with Frankie. It was a great tour. Frankie was awesome, entertaining, and informative. I enjoyed the stops along the way to the cliff and on our way back. Will definitely try another tour with Paddywagon.

Excellent adventure! The guide John is very knowing and funny man, attentive and friendly, with a perfectly sense of humor. He even sang a few Irish songs. On the other hand, the Cliffs of Moher is an impression place and it's good to be seen. I spent really a nice day, so I recommend this experience with Paddywagon tours.

We had a great day and cannot praise Barry our driver more. Barry was knowledgeable and could not have been more accommodating.

We loved our experience and hope to tour with them again some time!

WE had a fantastic Time on this tour to Cliffs of Moher.

John drove the bus well and seemed to enjoy his job. He spoke constantly giving us explanations of what we were seeing, when we were seeing it.

The best tour guide company and the best guides on board.

Alex was amazing!! So kind and full of stories!! He was helpful and knowledgeable! He made our trip so memorable and fun ! We all got along so well and learnt more than I could have hoped for!! Alex is a legend!! Do the tour it s awesome!! Xx

We took the day trip from Killarney around the Ring of Kerry. Our driver was awesome and told us all about the history as we made our rounds. Stopped at great places and got some awesome pictures. It was so nice to not have the stress of driving. I would use them again.

The tour with Val was amazing, we had a really good day!

My daughter and I went on the Dingle tour from Cork with Paudie on 6/21/17 and had a wonderful time. Breath taking scenery and photo stops. We wished there was more time in Dingle, but the traffic and road construction took time away from our Dingle stop. Despite that, we were able to still get fish & chips and Murphy's Ice Cream. Paudie went out of his way to accommodate our needs and even through in a special stop at the end.

On 6/22/17, we also went on the Cork Hopper Tour with Brien. Our visit to the Blarney Castle was remarkable, I wished we had a longer stay. Most of our time was spent in the line to the Castle, rushing us through the gorgeous gardens. We then went to the lovely city of Cobh for lunch and enjoyed walking around the cute little village. We could have continued with more stops, but decided to end our tour to explore the City of Cork.
Thank you Paddywagon for two great tours.

Val was very funny and a very good guy: he's great in his job!! He makes our experience very delightful! Cliffs of Moher are amazing! Paddywagon is a nice, quick and cheap way to see them, travelling from Dublin, especially if you are there for few days!

We did the Wild Atlantic Tour with Aiden and Alex as our tour guides! It was an amazing experience, we got to see some spectacular landmarks and landscapes as we visited the Cliffs of Moher and drove along the Ring of Kerry. The tour was organized very well, both guides shared some great stories about Ireland and we had the opportunity to meet and have drinks with the locals in Annascaul.

Paddy Wagon Tours are the only way to see Ireland. Absolutely love them, their trips and their tour guides. You will leave feeling more like a friend and less like a tourist!

Had a delightful trip (the Small Group to the Cliffs of Moher) our guide was fantastic. He was great at providing little anecdotes and bits of info about everyone of our stops. We had the most fantastic weather and I'm told we were quite lucky. I definitely recommend Paddywagon/Elegant Irish!

Went on a tour of Carrick-a-rede rope bridge, dark hedges and Giants Causeway yesterday, Frank was our guide for the day and he was excellent! Very entertaining and a wealth of knowledge...exactly what we were looking for. The stop chosen for lunch was great, really good food (although I regret ordering something that didnt come with chips but that is my own fault lol) I liked that Frank was able to call in the orders ahead and it was ready when we got there.
If we have any suggestions for improvement it would be to allow a little more time at each stop as we did feel quite rushed especially at dark hedges and the rope bridge .Atthe causeway we went directly to the causeway and were glad we did as we did not have time to go through the exhibit hall at all.
I might also suggest adding a more detailed description of the pathway to the rope bridge to the tour description as the steps are quite uneven and steep in spots and I witnessed quite a few elderly people having trouble with the route.
Overall though great day trip, we really enjoyed it!

This tour was fantastic. Our guide Tiernan was - well really I couldn't rave enough about him. He was knowledgeable, funny, informative and incredibly helpful. I did the 4-day south/west tour and at all times he was friendly, happy to answer questions, positive and up for a laugh. I would absolutely recommend this tour (with Tiernan) for anyone who is travelling by themselves but wants to see more of Ireland than just the cities. Tiernan had so much local knowledge and random spots/photo opportunities and if you go with any other tour you should have massive FOMO! Thanks again Tiernan! :)

Absolutely loved it! Our tour guide Paul was a legend. Dragged my Irish friend with me and even he loved it! Would 100% recommend

Loved Blarney castle. Could have used an extra 30 minutes there and at the English Market in Cork.

The tour guide was very entertaining and kept us well informed, even if there were a few Irish lies. When presented with a road closure, he knew the area well and got us to our destination with minimal delay. A great trip for the day.

The tour makes visits too quickly. Not even the time to get off the bus that we had to leave immediately. Then in Belfast he stopped for an hour, leaving us in a banal shopping street that can be found everywhere. I'd better organize the stages

So very very Sad that this company has decided to conduct business the way the did as far as refunding their customers.

Absolutely wonderful experience! 6 days of being taking care of, shown around the towns, accommodated comfortably and communicated to smartly. Loved Rory as our guide. Would do another tour with you again in a heartbeat! THANK YOU!
