    There's nothing exactly wrong with the tour and our guide, John, did a great job. The reason that I took a star off is that some of the Ring of Kerry sites listed you do not get to see. In January, the horse weren't going and so there was no opportunity to go into the National Park to see Ross Castle or some of the other prime attractions that I was interested in. The weather wasn't great for the rest of the sites, so it was especially disappointing that we missed those. Gorgeous places, but don't go in January

    I took the Cliffs of Moher tour. Despite the awful weather, on the whole, it was an amazing experience. Josh (the red hair viking) was an amazing guide explaining history, culture, etc. from Ireland with witty and funny stories. Good craic!

    Val was absolutely amazing! He gave us a great Irish history lesson, took us to fantastic stops along the way and even sang us an Irish folk song. Don’t know what he gets paid but it’s not enough. 🍀🚎

    Really enjoyed the Ring of Kerry Tour with our driver Aidan! We arrived a few minutes late due to traffic and almost missed the bus but was so grateful we made it! Aidan was great and shared so much information as he drove! Loved all the places we stopped and it was so nice not to have to navigate it ourselves. I only wish the stop in Killarney was longer. We also had some inconsiderate passengers that kept us running behind on time and played loud music on the bus, but Aidan handled them well and kept them in line.

    Good tour, driving was excellent. Spots we visited were nice, except for the castle where you have to pay 18 euro entrance (not included). Time schedule quite tight, you have to cover lots of KM’s. I would recommend skipping the castle and give extra time at the Cliffs of Moher. These are just magnificent.

    Aidan is the man! We had a terrific day tour of the Ring of Kerry, with Aidan as our guide and teacher for the day. He not only expertly whisked us between destinations, he provided interesting and informative commentary sprinkled with great humor. Make sure you have cash (14E pp) for the Jaunting Carts in Killarney National Park (March-Sept) because it's a great experience.

    We were driving on our vacation but this was a bit far and as the driver, I wanted a chance to look at the scenery. We chose this tour for the Cliffs of Moher and are so glad we did! Our driver/guide was fantastic and packed a lot in to a full day. When we got to the cliffs the guide gave his opinion on which way to go. We listened and were so glad we did! We weren't able to make it both directions and it all turned out perfect. The Burren was very cool as well, we enjoyed that so much. Our lunch stop was perfect, delicious and fast! My only hint to future passengers is, sit on the side of the bus opposite the driver. We were behind the driver and most everything to see was on the opposite side. That's not the tours fault, just what it is.

    Ashlynn was an amazing tour guide- very engaging and informative. Beautiful way to see the country. Would highly recommend for a day trip to see so much beauty!

    The Ring of Kerry tour has many fantastic views. I would have liked to stay long at some of the points. If you get car sick easily you should probably avoid this tour.

    My husband and I had a wonderful experience with Paddywagon! The guide was prompt, communicated well, funny, and a good driver!

    This is a very reliable tour organiser. Bus arrived exactly on the spot where it was mentioned in ticket. Departure was dot on time. The bus ride was very comfortable and tour guide was excellent. He explained itinerary in advance. It was quite helpful, as he gave necessary information about the places to visit ahead of reaching each site and small stuff like which way to go and how much time is allocated for the site. Highly recommended.

    Great tour of the Ring of Kerry today with Aidan. Very informative and I throughly enjoyed it!

  • 5/5 Scott K. 1 year ago on Google
    I took the tour to Blarney Castle and the town of Cobh. I booked my tour on Viator which was very simple. I should do a separate review just for that app. Anyway, Paddywagon Tours could not have been better. Great bus and the tour guide named Brian was simply epic. What did I like best? Blarney Castle was amazing but the cathedral in the town of Cobh was just mind blowing.

    I went on the Ring of Kerry Tour with a friend and it was amazing. The drivers are really nice and there are a lot of stops to enjoy the views and take some photos. Very convenient when you want to visit the countryside and you don't have a car.

    Great tour today with Alex on the Cliffs of Moher tour from Cork. He was very knowlegeable about Irish history, funny and helpful. He even went out of his way to make sure we had every opportunity to see the Cliffs as the weather did not cooperate when we were first there. He really seemed sincere that he wanted every person to have the best experience. Thank you for a great day!

    I went on the ring of Kerry tour based on the recommandation of my English teacher at Nations. I had a fanstatic guide named Jamie. So glad that I had taken a tour bus and enjoy the countryside, magnificent scenery and sights instead of having to drive. It made me want to come back to Ireland on holidays with my family to discover the beauty of the country. Thank you so much.

    horrible experience Unpleasant, when buying, an address is given at which there was no one when arriving at the place and the buses were stopped 100 meters away from the one indicated in the purchase of the escurção, to help there was a white bus preventing the view because it was between the corner and the real place departure of buses. The first driver spoke ill of Brazilians with an ironic and sarcastic tone and would leave anyone who was not on schedule behind, there was no passenger list or professionalism for checking them using methods from 30 years ago, the stop time at tourist points did not enough to enjoy, everything was done in a hurry, it was to relax and it was stressful, the second driver smoked like a chimney and stank of tobacco being very unpleasant, rude and impolite person not acceptable to work with people, if you don't like people works with cows, sheep, at the end of the tour little information I was waiting inside the bus and napping tired, the driver commented on passengers who stayed at the castle hotel and did not tell me that I should go to another bus to continue the trip to Dublin, I continued and left me in Cork without any information and was still very rude. Xenophobic! I spent 18 euros to return from Cork, I want to know how they intend to solve this?

    Had a nice day tour from Cork around the Ring of Kerry. Overall felt a bit fast but it was super enjoyable, especially if you only have a day to go try and see it all. Our driver was DJ and he was hilarious! Told us lots of actual interesting information instead of droning on. If you only have a day, you can't go wrong. Go YouTube the song. So much fun. :)

  • 5/5 Gordon Y. 2 years ago on Google
    Great tour overall with a straightforward agenda and useful information. Went with some who have been in the country for several years and they still learned new things. Damian was our guide and he was EXCELLENT.

  • 1/5 Daniela Rodríguez �. 1 year ago on Google
    We went to Cork city and Blarney Castle and gardens! Disappointed they said in the itinerary you will have 2 hours and 30 min to go around the castle and gardens And they gave us just 1h 25min we couldn't see really any of the atratrions in this short time. The place is huge and we had to do long queue in the castle. The itinerary is not same than they show in the website. This driver didn't follow like they offer in the advice! We are really disappointed.

  • 5/5 Charlie W. 2 years ago on Google
    Really great service for money. Attention to detail when tailoring itinerary. Lots of information regarding land, history and culture, all with a great sense of Irish humour. Disappointed they aren’t doing Dingle peninsula at the time I was in Cork.

    Frank gave a great narrative and made for a fun excursion all about the cliffs of Moher and wild Atlantic way. We had a blast!
