If you're looking for an easy way to get around Ireland, Paddywagon is definitely a good option! The drivers were funny and entertaining and had some information on Ireland, but they didn't go into details, which is completely fine because we spent a bit of it sleeping, because we were so tired from a day long travel the day before. We brought our 14 month old with us. You have to pay for a seat for infants/toddlers and they will supply a car seat which we ended up installing it ourselves since we knew how to. If you do the tour from Cork to Dingle, it was very pretty! Especially around Slea Head Drive. At Killarney, you switch to a smaller van, which was expected from our end because I had read some reviews about it already and confirmed it with the tour company. I had been in touch with Paddywagon via email prior to visiting Ireland, and they were responsive. If you're looking for a way to just get around Ireland, low key, low stress, I would recommend Paddywagon!

I recently embarked on a tour with Paddywagon, and my experience left me with mixed feelings. Initially, I was somewhat disappointed, but upon further reflection, I discovered redeeming qualities. Despite encountering certain negative aspects, I must recognize that the driver did provide us with alternative options. I had booked the tour with high hopes of visiting the renowned Dark Hedges. However, to my dismay, the driver informed our group that it was no longer included in the itinerary due to safety concerns and ongoing tree removal. While the disappointment of this unforeseen change lingers, I appreciate that such matters were beyond the driver's control. It is crucial for Paddywagon to expeditiously update their website to ensure accurate information is provided to their valued customers. Furthermore, the early start time of 7:20 am enforced a regrettable sacrifice of missing breakfast at my hotel, which proved quite inconvenient. Additionally, the scheduled lunch stop at 2pm seemed inadequately timed, particularly considering the exclusion of the Dark Hedges from the tour. It would be in the best interest of Paddywagon to contemplate adjusting the tour schedule to accommodate these changes. The driver, to their credit, did offer an alternative tour by means of the black car tour, albeit at an additional cost of £20. However, as I had previously partaken in this tour some years ago, I found myself contemplating how to spend my time while others indulged in the black car tour. During the scheduled meal break at the chosen restaurant designated by Paddywagon, I found the vegetarian options to be rather limited. Consequently, my only viable choice was a bean burger, which failed to elicit any particular appeal. Enhancing the dining experience would significantly contribute to overall customer satisfaction, warranting Paddywagon to ensure the provision of a more diverse range of restaurant options, catering to various dietary needs. On a more uplifting note, the driver made a commendable effort to compensate for the earlier disappointment by graciously dropping us off at the bustling Christmas Market, while the remaining group proceeded with the black car tour. This kind gesture provided me with the opportunity to immerse myself in the market's festivities, savor a meal in the city center, and enjoy the enchanting atmosphere, thus amplifying my overall experience. Additionally, I must express appreciation for the chance to visit the awe-inspiring Giant's Causeway, capturing enchanting photos and videos of the picturesque location. However, I feel obliged to caution prospective visitors against perusing the merchandise at the black building gift shop situated alongside the site, owing to the exorbitant additional costs associated solely with browsing. Based on these considerations, I find it fitting to rate my experience with Paddywagon as 2 1/2 stars. I earnestly hope that this feedback will be taken into sincere consideration by Paddywagon, for the purpose of enhancing their services and overall customer satisfaction in the future.

When we went to Ireland, we did THREE tours with Paddywagon Tours and they were all fabulous. Our first was the Cliffs of Moher day tour, which included a drive along the gorgeous Wild Atlantic Way, a stop at the Burren "baby cliffs" that are a smaller version of the Moher cliffs, and Bunratty Castle which looked straight out of Game of Thrones. The weather was a little rainy and foggy, but it made more mysterious feeling like we were on the moors from an old Bronte novel. We next partook in the Giant's Causeway day tour. We stopped first in the Dark Hedges which stood in for the "King's Road" in Game of Thrones. We drove along the beautiful Causeway Coastal route to Giant's Causeway. The humungous rocks of Giant's Causeway make you feel so small and insignificant in the world! After we hiked around the Causeway rocks, our tour group headed to Belfast to spend about an hour in the capital of Northern Ireland. Lastly, we chose the Blarney Day Tour to kiss the Blarney Stone! We drove through the Golden Vale (gorgeous scenery) to get to our first stop which was the Rock of Cashel which was so breathtaking. We next meandered on over to Cork County where we got to spend a little over an hour to have a quick lunch and a bit of shopping. Our last stop was to Blarney Castle, where our tour included skip the line tickets to get our lips on that stone! The tour guides and bus drivers were all very knowledgeable throughout each of these tours, as well as friendly and engaging on those long bus rides. If you're planning a trip to Ireland (mostly if you're basing yourself in Dublin) I HIGHLY recommend utilizing Paddywagon Tours!

Experienced all the beauty of the Emerald island in the comfort of personalized tour for our family of 15. What a fantastic way to explore and enjoy without the worry of having to navigate itineraries and driving those narrow country roads. Our driver, Dan the man, as our 4 yr old grandson called him, was such a bonus to our trip. He was like extended family and made sure we had everything we needed for a safe and fun trip. Always punctual and accommodating when we wanted to go "off book", made the 7 days together fly by. He was a true professional with the warm hospitality and personality the Irish are known for. Can't recommend this company and Dan enough. Well worth the investment.

Guide... 9/10 Itinerary... 10/10 Accommodations... 9/10 This was a great itinerary with a day filled with adventures. Our trip to Cork and Blarney had great stops with lots of great stops to stretch your legs. The weather did not cooperate the later half of the day, but that didn't stop us from enjoying the insides of Blarney Castle. Make sure that you come prepared for any weather because the show will go on! Our guide Sean was incredibly knowledgeable about all things Irish. He provides a wealth of information to help understand the diverse history of this island country.

HIGHLY recommend this company if you are doing any tours. We made the mistake of doing a different company with our middle one and we didn't like it. He drivers for Paddywagon are so much better!

Paddywagon did a fantastic job-loved the tour. We started with a pickup a couple blocks from O'Connell St. Seats were comfortable and great air conditioning. Our driver was very friendly. We stopped after about 1.5 hours for a snack and restroom break. Then about and hour at Rock of Cashel, Cork City and finallly Blarney Castle. It was a perfect trip!

We had such a great experience on the Cliffs of Moher tour! Our tour guide Dave was very knowledgeable and knew how to have fun. I highly recommend this tour if you are visiting Dublin.

the cliffs!

We took the tour to Cliffs of Moher - it was a must out of Dublin and we were nervous to drive on the other side of the road so a bus tour seemed perfect. The first bus was full so we decided to wait. The tour guide on that bus was kinda creepy towards some younger girls anyway so we weren't mad. Luckily, our tour guide Cash was awesome, attentive, so nice and funny, and great to listen too. He also had great music taste! We were super glad to get him. 10/10 as far as he goes, he has great explanations and facts and we felt very safe with his driving. The tour itself was okay, nothing special. We had a few quick touristy stops where we couldn't do much, but that comes with the industry. They definitely talk up the trip more than it actually is, but we didn't mind, we had a one track mind for the cliffs. I was a little worried about having to pee, but we made pretty frequent stops which was perfect. The cliffs were fantastic, and the tour definitely gives enough time for it - I believe almost two hours. It was perfect for a long walk, we were able to go out about a mile and back with a little time to check out the visitor center. Pretty standard tour as far as bus tours go, but definitely worth if for a budget way to see the cliffs!

Watch out at the Molly Malone pick up they skipped this stop for Belfast. Look elsewhere unreliable and wasted a day waiting for a pickup that never showed. Just terrible and they have little concern for the lack Of availability. Phone called and no pick up. Disappointed and going to other tour companies. It was ok in the end.
