Traveler reviews
Not the itinerary we expected
We took the 6 day South of Ireland tour. It was ok. I will start with the positive. The accommodations each night were fine. The towns we visited were lovely with lots of things to do and see. Now for the negative. Our tour guide didn’t have much to say at all. The itinerary was not the one posted on the Paddywagon website. Our third and fourth days were a mixture of both days itinerary. This was the intinerary that was supposed to happen on the Sixth day , From 1st April - October 31st we'll visit Glengowla mine, a historic silver mine which has excellent underground show mines and displays of traditional farming above ground including sheepdogs and turf cutting, but none of that happened. We drove back to Dublin through the Connemara National park. Not much getting out of the bus.
Over Promised-Under Delivered
I was highly disappointed with my recent experience with Paddywagon. Despite promising 4- and 5-star accommodations, the service was poorly managed, with slow communication, incomplete responses, and frequent changes to agreed plans. I ended up paying a lot out of pocket for accommodations as some of the hotels booked by them were Hostels at best and not even in the Towns we had requested. The main issue was the lack of professionalism and operational competence. The only bright spot was our driver, Paidi, who was excellent. I wouldn’t recommend or use this company again based on this experience- definitely not to book accommodation. Judging by this company-taking advantage of tourists is alive and well in Ireland.
Family tour of Ireland
Dan B. Was our tour leader and driver and we couldn't have asked for a better "tour chieftain "! He was pleasant, easy going, very accommodating, and a joy to have as our ambassador for Ireland. It was a trip that our whole family will look back on with fond memories. Thanks for making our tour of Ireland so great, Dan!
Fantastic Family Trip!
Dan B. was an outstanding guide! 9 of us were here to celebrate my mom‘s 80th birthday. It would have been impossible for all of us to make every decision by committee so it was great to have Paddy Wagon plan a wonderful itinerary for us. Since we were all together Dan B. could also be really accommodating when we wanted to make some adjustments and stay longer in certain places. He was fascinating, informative and a lot of fun! We highly recommend this tour especially for groups of families or friends.
Disappointed
The sights we visited were awesome but needed more time to enjoy them. We didn't follow the itinerary on the website at all. Our driver, John, seemed to have his own agenda. Didn't give much narrative about history or geography. Accommodations were below average. I would not recommend this tour.
