The directions were clear, coordination was perfect, the guides/ drivers were knowledgeable and great. The vehicle had no problems. It was a great experience. Highly recommend.,

Me and my daughter booked this tour while we were staying in cork. Very easy to find the booking office and get directed to our coach. Our first coach driver John was very funny, kept us laughing and entertained until our first stop in kilarney. The jaunting carts made our trip extra special seeing the park in style. Our next driver Keith which took us to dingle, was very informative and we even got to see baby lambs on our drive around slea head. Thoroughly enjoyed and would recommend to anyone visiting to book this excursion to see more sights of Ireland.

Tour is focused mostly on Nature/Sightseeing but has some great tidbits about history as well. It was exactly what I was expecting after reading the itinerary - there are no surprises and the Guide Keith was incredible.

What can I say about the west coast of Ireland? It's over to top beautiful, even in the rain! The road was narrow and curvy but our driver was a champ. Dingle itself was crowded due to a food festival so we ate lunch and got out fast.

Walk to address provided to meet the bus (along w/several other people). Thankfully the office was open and staffed and we were told to walk about a block to meet the bus. How were we to know?? Completely full bus drives to 1st stop and we were told along the way that if we were taking the "Dingle" tour another bus would meet us and we would switch buses. Driver did very brief commentary/itinerary leaving Cork, then he was silent the rest of the way. On his phone several times during trip (not bluetooth), pulled on narrow shoulder once to make a call. I felt unsafe in his ability to transport us in a very large, crowded bus. He was frustrated and cursed loudly trying to park the bus and needed assistance from another driver. Had to ask what time to meet the new bus I was transferring to as we weren't given enough details. He had commented that there wasn't much of anything to do in this town we had an hour stop at (so why is it an hour stop on a tour???) We weren't given suggestions or good directions for things to do. Turns out, my own exploration I discovered a quite large, lovely town with all kinds of things to do!! Blocks and blocks going in different directions that I didn't have nearly enough time to see. I very gladly transferred buses as our "guide" just appeared to wanted to smoke outside bus door as much as he could. We ended up leaving the first stop 45 mins late (sitting on bus entire time, waiting) as many people had done a tour in town that took longer than expected. As people started coming back, they left 2 people!! Second bus was a better guide/driver, still not great in the amount of commentary. Met first bus again and had to transfer for the ride back to Cork after the tour. Same driver says he's going to drop us "a minute walk" from where he picked us up. He said to walk across the bridge and you'll be where you started. I google mapped the distance from where we were picked off and dropped off. Clearly untrue and about a 15 minute walk. I had already walked for quite more than "a minute" when I took the google map picture.

The horse and carriage ride thru Killarney National Park was a nice surprise and a wonderful experience! The WAW drive was spectacular and the baby lambs were a 2nd awesome surprise!!

The stops at sights were very short. It is not a standout tour, is just OK. Next time, I will look at minibus tours.

The trip to Dingle starts on a large bus that brings you to Killarney for a quick visit. Then you transfer to a smaller bus. Paudie was an excellent guide, very knowledgeable on his history. Blessed us with his singing voice as well. Very clear with his communication when stopping at various places to take photos. Inch beach, 40 shades of green, sleeping giant are just a few of the many stops. Did not enjoy the bee hut visit as they do not inform you that it’s €3/person (cash only). Would skip this, but the view from higher up is fantastic. Stopped in Dingle for a bit more than an hour, which is plenty of time to grab lunch and walk around the gorgeous city for a bit. On the way back, you transfer back to the original bus at the Killarney bus stop. Please take note that the shopping centre closes at 6pm (including the bathrooms!) Paudie faught for us and got the door unlocked thankfully. Would 100% recommend this tour. Definitely had the craic!

Town of Dingle. Panoramic views throughout the ride. Irish structures dating back to 2000BC. Would do again my next visit to Ireland.

Viator messed up our booking and never sent it to the provider so we missed the tour. Heard it was lovely, though.

Slea Head dive. Spectacular views. I was so glad I wasn't driving. Inch Beach was beautiful. We stopped at each place with enough time to enjoy the views.

Yesterday (23/08/23) I bought a tour from Cork to Dingle. We went to Killarney in a comfortable bus and in the city we changed to a small and uncomfortable van. The tour was cool. When we got back to Killarney it was to switch from the van to the bus. We spent 2 hours waiting for the bus to arrive. We were 19 people, one of them called the agency, the same said that no one was going to pick us up, and they told us to go by public transport, which cost 21 euros. WE WERE ABANDONED BY THE COMPANY IN THE CITY OF KILLARNEY, it was very cold and raining, I don't speak English, I was terrified, my cell phone battery ran out, when I got on the bus they only accepted cash, I had to borrow it. The tour was supposed to arrive at 6:30 pm and I arrived at 8:20 pm. Total disrespect for the customer. I do not indicate!!!!

Yesterday we went to a Dingle tour from Cork city centre and it was a complete mess. The only good thing I have to say about it is that the driver was a really nice person, but apart from that initially the tour was just okay, we had a few stops that weren't originally scheduled, but very, almost too short. Everything went south at the end of the day, when the driver left me and other 19 people in Killarney Outlet Centre to take a different Paddywagon bus and go back to the city. The first driver said to wait 15 minutes for it, and left all of us there. We ended up waiting for over an hour when we realized that they basically forgot us there. We tried calling Paddywagon's office a few times in the meantime, and when they finally answered they were clueless and said there had been a miscomunication or something and no one was coming to get us, their solution for us was to get public transportation. No refund for the trouble of course, and we will have to go to the office in person with bus tickets receipt to get at least that money back (hopefully) Honestly I never leave reviews but this time it needed to be done.

abandoned group All of us in the group were literally abandoned in another city by the company! we start our tour in cork city. They walked with us for about an hour and got us off a big bus and put the group in a van. We took the tour which sucked because the driver was 15 minutes at each stop and it didn't match what we were sold. however, the biggest problem was that the company again stopped the van on the way back in a city and said it would send another transport to pick us up. That transport never arrived. The entire group waited for the new transport to arrive. It was getting late at night, raining and night. And we realized that we had been abandoned by the company. we had to look for a bus station to take public transport and go back to Cork! not everyone had money to buy another ticket. It was a difficult situation for the entire group taking the tour. We arrived back in Cork around 11:00 pm. We are shocked by the company's lack of commitment and responsibility.

Although the sun barely came out, I would very much recommend this tour. Make sure to dress in layers and bring raincoat as well as wearing warm footwear.

My adult daughter and I thoroughly enjoyed our trip to Dingle and other sites with Paddy Wagon Tours. We left from Cork right on time and the driver provided interesting information on the surrounding areas while we were traveling to Killarney. After shopping and a quick breakfast in Killarney, about a dozen of us from Cork changed to another bus for the trip to Dingle. Our tour guide/driver, Paddy (or maybe Paudie?) was fantastic. He shared lots of history and information on what we saw. We had several photo stops we as we traveled through the beautiful Irish countryside. Our first stop was Inch Beach and it is beautiful! Dingle is a beautiful fishing village. Great for lunch, shopping, and photography. Great day!

Our guide and drivers were great. Educational and informative, and the weather cooperated beautifully. Towns and stops were lovely. Only downside were participants not returning on time causing those of us to sit and wait on the bus loosing free time to exploring.People don’t listen or hear to know the return time, if you don’t hear ask, or better yet, one driver we had used a whiteboard and wrote it down for all to see.
