See the world famous Cliffs of Moher, wonder at the barren beauty of the Burren, stroll through the grounds of Killarney National Park and stay overnight on Dingle Peninsula.
This tour is ideal for those who seek to visit Ireland's most precious Wild Atlantic Way. Short on time but high on energy and curiosity, this tour is a great mix of rural villages, rugged coastline, dramatic cliffs, and rolling landscapes.

Terrible! FALSE ADVERTISING! We were supposed to stay overnight on the Dingle peninsula and stayed in Killarney instead. Our Bed and Breakfast accommodation in Killarney was HORRIBLE! They housed 9 guests in a CLOSED TO CUSTOMERS Bed and breakfast that was being used as a housing facility for refugees. Not a problem but not what we signed up for and our room smelled of urine and our towels and bedding were stained. We never received dinner and the breakfast was terrible.
Our driver was terrible who seldom told us anything about the countryside and often yelled at us when we complained that ‘this isn’t part of the tour’. We felt we were being held captive with the inability to question where we were going.
DON’T TAKE THIS TOUR! Worst experience of our lives!!
BEWARE!

THE WORST EVER EXPERIENCE WITH A RACIST DRIVER
The Paddywagon 2-day Wild Atlantic Way tour was the worst experience I have ever had, primarily due to the driver, Tom. Here are the main issues that future travelers should be aware of:
1. Racist Driver:
After our visit to the Cliffs of Moher, we were a bit late rejoining the bus. Shockingly, the driver, Tom, made a racist comment over the microphone, blaming our lateness on "two Chinese" people. Firstly, we are not Chinese, and even if we were, such a comment is highly inappropriate. Judging people based on their appearance, race, or nationality is unacceptable, especially for someone working in a field that involves dealing with international travelers. Everyone on the bus heard this remark, and it was humiliating. We were not the only ones late; others, including the driver himself at times, were late as well. Yet, no one else was publicly humiliated as we were.
2. Disregard for the Itinerary and Poor Communication:
The driver did not respect the given itinerary and failed to inform us of any changes. When I inquired about the schedule, the driver dismissively pushed away my phone and said, "Whatever is written there, we are not going to Doolin," and refused to answer any of my questions. This lack of communication caused significant confusion as we were left in the dark about our next destinations.
Overall, I would strongly advise against taking this tour. It was a deeply unpleasant experience marred by racism and poor management. I hope this review helps others avoid a similar experience.

I had a magical and wonderful experience on the two day wild atlantic tour from Dublin! My tour guide was Stephen and he went above and beyond for everybody on the bus and was very welcoming. It was one of the highlights of my 2 week trip abroad, and I felt safe as a female solo traveler. We had incredible views and even some sunshine :) I highly recommend.

Stevie was great - we really enjoyed our two day tour. Stevie made our tour so comfortable, especially for my mom who wasn’t super comfortable walking

We are very disappointed with the tour overall. The entire reason we chose the 2-day tour vs the 1-day trip to Cliffs of Moher was the fact that Ring of Kerry was listed on the itinerary for Day 2 of the tour. However, on Day 2, after driving for a few hours, when we asked the guide when we will go to Ring of Kerry, he answered that we won't be going there as if we were supposed to know that. The reason given was road closures due to a car rally - we later looked it up and found that this event happens each year during this particular weekend...why were we not informed ahead of time about this when booking the tour for those specific dates??? We could have planned something else for that day if we knew this was the case. To spend the time, they randomly dropped us off in the Town of Killarney for over 3 hours when there was nothing to do in this place other than eat lunch and visit some shops. At the least, they could have taken us to the Killarney National Park instead. Basically, our entire day was completely WASTED as well as money - we could have booked another day tour to Northern Ireland or done something more useful with our limited time in the country.
On top of all this, after being lectured to be back on time, the bus showed up 25 minutes late to pick us up from Killarney where we had been left off of way more than enough time leaving us with barely 30 minutes to spend at Village of Adare where we were supposed to be for at least one hour. The tour also didn’t take us to Dingle as was advertised.

Amazing. We have been on a few tours around the world and this was one of the best. A little mix up for meeting spot in the morning but once we connected with Alex -it was gold ! Personal touches, interesting stories and history and great choice of places to stop and see - especially the accommodations.
Well done to Alex and the Paddywagon tours.

Left stranded at Cliff of Moher by driver Kevin with no explanation.
We booked a 2 day tour of the south coast of Ireland for three people including my 80 year old father.
Day 1 went smoothly with Gerry as great guide. We slept overnight in Cork and were picked up by Kevin at 7:00 am and it was downhill from there.
The itinerary promised a guided drive to The Cliffs of Moher with stops for refreshments and photo opps. Upon stepping onto the bus Kevin informed us that there were to be no stops along the 3 hour drive to the Cliffs of Moher (including no bathroom stops). Kevin provided zero explanations about what we were going to see or the history and sights
Upon reaching the Cliffs at 10:30 we waited in the rain to depart as there was no visibility and saw nothing of the sights - not the drivers fault.
We were asked to return to the bus at 12:15 which we did. As we were stepping onto the bus, Kevin informed us that we had to transfer onto another bus. No explanation was given for this. When we spoke to the new driver we were told that we were heading to Galway and had to wait another 2 hours in the Cliffs. At this point Kevin had already left. We were transferred onto 2 different buses and didn’t see anything of what was promised on the tour.
Our father is 80 and had a cold so having been left stranded in the rain with no explanations was incredible irresponsible. I called the office for an explanation and help and they told me to write an email that would be answered whenever they could. I asked to speak to a responsible person and this was refused point blank.
I have never dealt with a more irresponsible and neglectful operator. Nightmare experience that I would not wish upon anyone.

Cash was an excellent driver and storyteller who in two days took us all safe and sound through the south west of Ireland leaving us all wiser and happier than when we started in Dublin.
