We had a wonderful tour guide in Ger, who was very knowledgeable. The views were amazing, and even from the bus you could see the cliffs and beautiful seaside. A stop at The Lobster in Waterville for lunch was great, and service was fast, as Ger has promised.

If you have never gone to Ireland as I had never, I highly recommend this tour. We used Paddywagon for 3 trips and every one of them was terrific. My friend and I spent only 4 days in Ireland but we wanted to see a lot and we certainly did. The Ring of Kerry tour with our stop in the Killarney National Park was wonderful. We had Michael (Big Mike) as our driver and he was great not only was he knowledgeable but he can sing and entertain along the way. He gave us the option of taking a carriage ride through the Park or going shopping. I highly recommend the carriage ride. It was chilly but absolutely breathtaking. The park is so beautiful with the mountains as a backdrop and beautiful crystal clear lakes. I was able to take amazing photos of the castle ruins in the center of one of the lakes. The price for the carriage ride was minimal. We then headed out to a few towns and stopped for shopping. We stopped for lunch at Dooleys right on the ocean where we had delicious burgers. Then it was on for more beautiful scenery as we traveled the ring ending our day at the Toric Waterfall. We had a jam packed day and I took tons of gorgeous photos. It's a long day, we got the bus around 8:00 a.m. and arrived back just around 7:00 but it's well worth it. You won't regret it. The bus was comfortable, you were able to take breaks and the driver was great.It was a beautiful area. I found the trip with our guide less than desirable.

It was a beautiful area. I found the trip with our guide less than desirable. I felt like I was back in junior high school. What I had hoped for were stories, facts and histories of the area—perhaps even some traditional Irish music. What I got was a bit of history, and lots of crude stories and jokes, some of which were derogatory of women. Didn’t enjoy it. I think this will be my family’s last tour with this company.Loved this company professional, clean buses.. and great hosts.. this is a magical tour ..visited some amazing towns and saw the most beautiful coastlines the world has to offer.. do yourself a favour DO THIS TOUR you won't be disappointed.. and use this company they are amazing..

Our driver Michael was superb very knowledgeable very witty and entertaining even sung us a few songs would recommend paddywagon tours to anyone was that good we got off the coach and booked another tour for the day after which was also fantastic.45 people in a rushed tour where souvenir shops seemed to supercede the natural attractions.

45 people in a rushed tour where souvenir shops seemed to supercede the natural attractions. Very little time at the Killarney Nature Reserve. Not helped by the fact that one passenger went AWOL and we had to wait 20 minutes in vain for his reappearance. Driver will NOT support himself as a standup comedian.
