My husband and I booked this online and had no idea what to expect....just do it! It was a great experience and with the tour guide/driver Sean we had a wonderful time! We are so glad we Picked the Paddywagon tour and got to see so much of Ireland’s coast line. The tour itself was fantastic , well organized with plenty of rest stops for us older folks. Sean made it more enjoyable with his corny Irish jokes but his intense knowledge of the towns visited. The narrow roads were challenging but we always felt safe with his driving. It was really neat to travel all thru the small towns and villages and see the Cliffs of Moher, although that is a tourist rap with the long lines to enter. The bed and breakfast in Galway was so NIce, had the best night sleep with a delicious breakfast in the morning. We covered a lot of miles and the 15 passenger van was perfect with WiFi and Irish music! Sean really made us all feel safe and happy to be there, give him a raise! I could go on and on, but take my word, it was well worth it!

It was an enjoyable and informative trip with Paddywagon Tours. We would recommend this trip to anyone looking for a quick trip who does not want to drive. Meal choices were good and lodging was comfortable too!

This tour was great, its a lot of hustle and hurrying. So no relaxing on this trip unless you wanna sleep on the coach. When I booked it I was able to do the hostel option with my kids, but when I got there I was told my kids couldnt stay at the hostel. Thank goodness everything got fixed quickly.
