WOW is what we have to say. Richard, our driver, made it all happen. He was the best. The tour was perfectly paced and we heard so much interesting history and personal stories. Music was great (singing welcome). Nothing but great things to say about Richard. Awesome experience.

I have to say that was the best tour I have ever been on thanks to our lovely bus driver Richard O'Brien. The music was awesome and the insights incredible. Valued his timeliness and communication. His stories were the best part. Highly recommend!

Our driver, Richard O’Brien, was a taskmaster, insisting we be on time for departures. That aside, he was incredibly knowledgeable, helpful, and very entertaining. His driving skills are excellent. I thoroughly enjoyed conversing with him.

The weather was terrible, and yet the bus driver ensured we had a wonderful time. Even though the bus driver is not supposed to be a tour guide, he had wonderful stories. This turned what may have been an awful day into a good one. For example, Kilkenny Castle was closed due to weather (which was my main reason for booking this trip) but he told us other places we could see, and we stumbled upon an amazing museum! When we got to Glendalough it was very snowy, and so we took a vote on how long we would stay. Most passengers wanted to only stay an hour, (which was unfortunate for me because I was the only person who wanted to stay longer lol). he told us what we could do within an hour. His music was also AMAZING. Overall, I’d recommend checking for inclement weather two days before your tour and possibly cancelling if you really want to see Kilkenny. There wasn’t even snow yet and they had said they would close the day before. However, I’m giving 5 stars because TECHNICALLY it isn’t Paddywagon’s fault but I would have hoped they would keep us updated since the castle had closed the day before.

I had a disappointing experience with Paddywagon Tours. After being left without a guide at Glendalough and returning 5 minutes late, we discovered the bus had already left. Another driver we approached was unhelpful and mocked us instead of assisting. Thankfully, Quiggs from Finn McCools Tours came to our rescue, offering us a free ride to Kilkenny and a guided tour, completely turning our day around. While I wouldn’t recommend Paddywagon for their lack of support, I highly commend Quiggs for his kindness and professionalism.

Not only was this bus tour filled with beautiful views, but Richard went above and beyond to provide us with history and humor throughout. I appreciated all of the stops we made along the way and this was definitely a highlight of my trip. Thank you!

Wonderful experience- especially if you’re looking for a trip to the Cliffs without the hassle of renting a car. Stops in a few cute towns along the way which is a nice way to see different areas in Ireland. Our tour guide, Shea, was incredibly kind and friendly- he was also very knowledgeable and helpful with any questions we had. He made the tour very special and simple for us!

This was a wonderful trip. The drive there was so lovely. The scenery was gorgeous and the guide/bus driver was very knowledgable and pointed out interesting snippets along the way. The bus was comfortable, and Wicklow was beautiful. The walk in nature was just so refreshing and wonderful And looking at the monastery ruins was fascinating. The museum was great with the highlight being the labyrinth rock, which even on its own was well with the trip. The trip back was lovely in the dark with all the Christmas lights through the small towns on the way home. I highly recommend this trip with Paddywagon which a professional and reliable company to work with.

Unfortunately I wouldn’t recommend this tour company. It really makes a huge difference having a driver and a guide like Wild Rovers. Unfortunately Frank was hard to follow (not from an accent but information stand point). He was also quite repetitive with filler information because I guess he didn’t have a lot of information to share like saying we were going to pick up a passenger in Belfast about 8 times. His microphone screeched every time he spoke. He also didn’t have a good handle on the crowd as people were late at every stop. They played their phones loud on the bus disturbing other passengers. The bus was also too hot and too cold for the start of the journey and the wifi didn’t work. I felt he drove quite fast but it might be normal here. I would recommend getting a Wild Rovers tour.

I had a truly frustrating experience with Paddywagon Tours. My four friends and I booked a tour to Glendalough and Kilkenny, but things quickly went wrong. After arriving at Glendalough, we were left without a tour guide and were told to return in 1.5 hours. We ended up being 5 minutes late, and when we returned, the bus had already left. We searched for our vehicle, but instead found another Paddywagon bus heading to the city center. Instead of offering any assistance, the bus driver taunted us about being late, mocking our situation and making unnecessary remarks. It was not only unhelpful but also unprofessional. Thankfully, we found a kind-hearted guide, Quiggs, from Finn McCools Tours. He listened to our story and, without hesitation, welcomed us onto his bus. Not only did he take us to Kilkenny, but he also gave us a free tour of the city. Quiggs was an amazing guide, and he truly turned our day around. My advice to others would be not to expect any support from Paddywagon when things go wrong. Fortunately, there are still some great people like Quiggs who go above and beyond to help.

Richard O’Brien was a great drive and tour guide, very knowledgeable and a good sense of humor. I really enjoyed this tour and thought we had plenty of time at Giant’s Causeway.

We went yesterday to the grants causeway, and we had such a good day. The guide Angelina was really good and very knowledgeable . The weather was terrible with gale force winds for most of the day, but it didn't spoil the day. We visited some lovely places along the way too, which was great too. We thn stopped off for food at a cosy pub on the way back to warm up. All in all a great day and a great experience with a good company.

Blarney Castle has always been a bucket list for me! We opted for this tour to see some other sites coupled with The Blarney Castle. It was a small group (only 8 of us). We sat in the back of the bus, which was very comfortable with a lot of legroom (backpacks + shopping bags too)! Collin, our tour guide, was very knowledgeable about each site and gave us tidbits of info before he began driving to the next site. Since we went in December, each site, was pretty much empty! We literally walked right through the castle and up the steps to kiss the stone. We also had LOTS of time to explore each room as it was empty (seriously, if we saw 15 people that was a lot)! The steps up to the stones were really tight and narrow, however the rope was a huge help and made it super easy! Once up top, it’s not for the faint of heart…open air and if you look over, lots of butterflies! We loved every second and would highly recommend!

Tragic behaviour on their part and extremely unprofessional. No dear Patty Wagon, you have no right to take my money and ask me to cancel or change the day and time of my trip. I wish I could avoid this unacceptable company that I had the misfortune to buy tickets from.

We (a group of 4) took a tour from Dublin that went out to Dunluce Castle and Giants Causeway. It was a day-trip that was very much worth our time! Our driver/guide Shay was lovely and very entertaining. He shared interesting parts of Irish history (a child-friendly version as there were kids on the bus), and played an interesting combination of Irish music and Christmas tunes. Definitely a nice way to see parts of Northern Ireland if you’re staying in the south (though they do run the tour out of Belfast too).
