Excellent day trip
Margaret_P, Aug 2023
We had a lovely tour with Paddy Wagon tours - our tour guide was Joe and he was very helpful he had excellent knowledge of our tour stops etc. We would definitely recommend Paddywagon Tours.
Highly recommended

Beautiful scenery. Wonderful pace with ample time to see each area. Must see in Ireland. Highly recommended!
Nice tour for great pictures with background history
Emmanuel_B, Jun 2023
Our guide Paulie was very nice and taught us some Irish (Gaelic) expressions as he was driving. He brought us to the lovely Dingle peninsula. The tour made it easy to stop at a few scenic locations for pictures and some background history. We began with Kilarney were the church is worth a quick stop, and where some shopping is easy to do. We also stopped for a little while at Inch beach, which was nice. The rest was mostly pictures stops before a stop for lunch at Dingle (lovely place with plenty of choices for small restaurants... there is even a grocery shop easy to access).
Fun way to learn

Very good tour...just a long day by the time you pick up at other locations.

Although the weather didn't cooperate and we were unable to see the Blasket Islands, the tour was still well worth doing. There were so many beautiful sites and the stops we made offered other views. The Paddywagon tour guide/driver - Paudie - was phenomenal. He was obviously very knowledgeable about Ireland's history, providing so much information, and he was also passionate about sharing it. The town of Dingle was charming and had the best seafood chowder there that we found the entire Ireland trip. I highly recommend the tour!

Winifred R, Aug 2017
The drive itself was beautiful and the driver was quite skilled. He was, however, not interesting, sarcastic to everyone on the bus, and rushed us through each stop. We didn't even have enough time at the beach to walk to the water and back before he was beeping the horn and we were half jogging to and from the water. It was the stop we most wanted to see. It seemed strange that when we stopped at some roadside house where another sarcastic man was that we spent more time there paying 3 euro each to use the restroom and hold his feces covered lamb. The driver and the man seemed acquainted to me. This was the only stop where we had enough time to pee and it cost us 3 euro each. The driver also suggested where we should eat in Dingle, but when we walked in that pub, they told us one hour was not enough time to be served and eat. We quickly ate at another crowded pub but did not get to see any of Dingle. We needed to get back on the bus. We made strange stops to pick up random people along the way, which seemed strange since we needed to taxi to our departure point. At one point, we needed to get off of our bus and get on a smaller bus. Again this was time we could have spent eating, peeing, or actually on the beach. We made a stop that was unscheduled to see lakes - we weren't told which. He needed to relieve himself and sweep the sand out of our smaller bus. We also stopped at a mall for 5 minutes, so he could get fuel...He picked up more people at this mall though, who took our seats while we were inside the mall. I do not think he got fuel at all. From this point on, he never spoke or stopped. It was a bus ride only. He made a comment about every single person who got off of the bus. He is definitely not a tour person - great driver but terrible guide. Beautiful Views but way too rushed!!!!!!

Chaddie, Aug 2017
This tour was from Paddywagon Tours, and we had a wonderful time. Our driver--Paul--was outstanding. It was obvious how moved he was himself by the beautiful countryside and the centuries of farmland use. He cared so much that each passenger enjoy the scenery of his country. We went in May--lambing season!--and there were opportunities to pet baby lambs as we stopped by individual farms. A lovely, charming peninsula and a lovely, unforgettable day.

This was a very good tour. The company allowed me to leave the tour at Dingle town prior to the coach returning to its starting points, thus providing me transportation to the peninsula plus an informative tour for about the price of a one-way bus fare from Limerick to Dingle.
