Our bus driver and guide was great! His discussion in the cemetery was interesting and informative. Added bonus for being able to make a wish at a fairy ring in glendalough. The sheep herding was a hoot too! The day was great for 11/13 yr olds and adults

Fabulous day trip and...
Fabulous day trip and very well organised. Early start is worth it with titanic museum and giant’s causeway as magnificent as you would imagine. Stephen was our guide and Michael our driver. Both were witty, friendly and very knowledgeable on the history and geography of Northern Ireland. I would recommend to all

Amazing full day tour
Have not been on a horse in at least 30 years and was so happy to have this experience. Joe was a great guide. The rest of the day trip was amazing. Linda was our guide and had a plethora of information on every stop and also along the way. It was a lovely way to explore those parts of rural Ireland.

A lovely day
It was a long day, but was worth seeing the beauty! Liam was an excellent tour guide. The stops at the castles were just for pictures, but was lively to see the sites. We were so lucky that the Cliffs of Mohr were clear! Liam changed the schedule to make sure we had good visuals. All in all was a lovely day.

A trip to remember
This tour is definitely worth doing! It gives you a wonderful glimpse of the Irish countryside while also allowing plenty of time to explore the lovely, colourful town of Kilkenny, take a stroll, and breathe in the fresh air at Glendalough.
The scenery was absolutely amazing, and our tour guide, Ollie, made the experience even more enjoyable. He was incredibly entertaining, and we loved listening to his stories. His passion for Irish history and literature really came through, making the journey both interesting and memorable. We also really enjoyed listening to some traditional Irish music along the way.
The sheepdog demonstration was absolutely adorable, and the farmer explained everything in such an amusing and entertaining way. It was definitely one of the highlights of the tour!
We thoroughly enjoyed every part of the experience and would absolutely recommend this tour to anyone wanting to discover a little more of Ireland beyond Dublin. 🍀

This was a cool and low...
This was a cool and low key tour which was perfect for us on the tail end of our trip. Alec did a great job as both a driver and a tour guide. He took the time to explain each site and the history/folklore behind them. He stopped for a long lunch at a very reasonably priced restaurant with a lot of options. We also enjoyed the distillery stop and bought a couple bottles to take home. I'm guessing this tour isn't as popular as places like Blarney and Giants Causeway, which we also went to, but it was still a fun day and I'd recommend it.

Superb trip & great value for money.
Absolutely terrific. Kevin provided an absolute wealth of knowledge of everything we were passing, and he seemed to know everyone as well! Although the weather turned iffy after the Bog Village (great!), and the Sheepdog Show (marvellous!) we still got views of the Skelligs and Carraig Lomain (Lemon Rock). We enjoyed the free samples at the Chocolate Factory, before we had a lovely lunch of Irish Stew in Dooley's Seafood & Steakhouse in Waterville. The last proper stop was in the picturesque village of Sneem. My wife and I both thought this trip represented superb value for money and many thanks to Kevin and the Killarney Executive Tour Co. for making it possible.

Conor was a great guide!
We had an amazing time on our Ring of Kerry tour! Our guide, Conor, truly elevated the entire experience. Even with fog and clouds in the mountains and drizzle on and off throughout the day, we thoroughly enjoyed every minute. Bus ride was comfortable.
The tour was very well paced, with plenty of time at each stop to explore, take photos, and enjoy the scenery without ever feeling rushed. Conor was knowledgeable, engaging, and made the journey just as enjoyable as the destinations themselves. A fantastic way to experience the Ring of Kerry, and we would absolutely recommend this tour!

Batt was incredible! He was so knowledgeable about the area and had fun anecdotes along the way. He was funny and kept the entire bus entertained the entire trip. Excellent way to spend the day if you only have a short time to get out to the Dingle Peninsula to soak in the incredible views.

This was great! Easy...
This was great! Easy process and our guide, Brian, was lovely! Very knowledgeable and funny and kind, cared about us as his guests and was helpful in every way he could be on top of driving safely! It was rainy and wet and a bit cold but was still an amazing day with great views and drives.

Recommend!
The half-day tour to the Wicklow Mountains and Glendalough was beautiful and well worth it. The scenery was stunning. You have two hours to explore on your own. While there's much more to see than you can fit into two hours, it's enough to enjoy the main highlights and get a great impression of this beautiful place. Paddywagon was very well organized, which made the whole experience easy and enjoyable. As a solo traveler, I felt comfortable throughout the trip. I would definitely recommend this tour.
