This is a great way to...

This is a great way to see the Ring of Kerry without the stress of driving. They had well planned stops along the way.

Loved the Ring of Kerry Tour with the Paddy Wagon!

First, our driver Brian took the safety of every passenger very seriously which made for a thoroughly enjoyable drive. He was polite, professional and informative. The bus was comfortable and clean. It would have been nice if the top of the windshield was clean for better viewing. We believe we received real value you for our money, the route and side trip were absolutely delightful.

Scenic drive and lovely stops

Our driver/tour guide came across as a bit arrogant and unfriendly at first, but made up for it later with additional stops and his knowledgeable commentary. We didn't mind his punctuality, although the way it was communicated could have been a little friendlier. The tour itself is very well designed, with lots of lovely stops and scenic views throughout. Most of my family actually enjoyed this tour the most out of the three we took, including the Cliffs of Moher and Connemara.

Long but enjoyable day

A well planned tour. You will feel tired at the end of the 11 hour day but well pleased with all you have seen and done.
