Amazing Views
We did the day trip to the Cliffs of Moher with Paddywagon and our driver Keith was excellent. Provided us with lots of history during the drives. It was a long day but he kept us on schedule. Always repeated departure times several times. This day trip to the Cliffs of Moher is well worth the long day.

Beautiful scenery & exploration
Keith was an excellent guide, funny and informational. All of the stops were curated with care and gave us a good amount of time to explore and take photos. Keith was kind enough to point out photo ops as we drove as well, very helpful!

Tour itself was great with some incredible sites to explore. However with children on board and an incredibly noisy family it was next to impossible to hear what the driver was saying which takes away from the enjoyment.
