Noah was an excellent...

Heather_S, Jul 2026
Noah was an excellent guide and Brian a great driver. The cliffs were beautiful. Would’ve been better to stop somewhere with more options for lunch than a stand alone restaurant but overall the trip was nice.

Beautiful coast

Delilah_M, Jul 2026
We rented a car for our stay but it was nice to be driven around so we could really take in the sights. The driver was knowledgeable and friendly. The landscape is gorgeous and well worth the price of the tour.

Perfect day tour

Faith_E, Jun 2026
It was fun, we enjoyed it a lot, specially with Connor (our tour guide/driver) no dull moments and we learned so much about the history, mythical stories and legends about Ireland.

Cliffs are beautiful

Cindy_P, Jun 2026
The cliffs are beautiful as is the Irish countryside but most of the time is spent riding in the bus. I would have liked an added stop to break up the travel.

Long arduous journey, too little time at destination, missing items from promised itinery

Andrew_S, May 2026
Very long journey with very short stops. 2 hours to Limerick to pick up more passengers, then 1.5 hours to destination. We were given just 75 minutes at the cliffs, which did not allow time to get round the exhibition centre. Then a rushed lunch stop (but sufficient on reflection) - followed by a further miandering drive around The Burren, then another too short a stop at Bunraty Castle and shops. There was no stop in Limmerick, no walk at The Burren, and the advertised photo used to show the cliffs from below was not even on the agenda. Operators tried to fit too much into the agenda, with little time to enjoy the sites - far too long on the coach

Cliff Adventure

Diane_H, May 2026
Dress in layers as the weather is unpredictable and rain can appear suddenly. The driver provided a wonderful litany of expertise as we traveled pointing out important historical monuments, buildings, and legends along the way. Bring some cash for a hot or cold lunch. If tipping is not in your culture, please remember to tip the driver who has provided you with a safe, fun, relaxing, and day full of memories.

It was a lot of driving...

Kelly_B, May 2026
It was a lot of driving with little time at the cliffs. The driver’s driving was aggressive and made some of the passengers uncomfortable.

Connor our guide was...

Valery_G, Apr 2026
Connor our guide was amazing- he adjusted to some unforeseen circumstance with great skill. Scenery was truly lovely.

Cliffs

Mary_S, Apr 2026
It was a great tour. Only thing I would change was where we had lunch. I would have rather spent that time in the area where we stopped for only 45 minutes with restaurants, castle and shops. I would have enjoyed spending more time there.

Its amazing nature trip...

Jay_Y, Jan 2026
Its amazing nature trip and friendly driver. First time experience in Ireland travel and a long way trip i saw a lot of castle. Thank for the Paddywagon, see you in my next destination.

Bucket List-Cliffs of Moher…..Check!

Jeffery_P, Nov 2025
Prepare for a long day and lots of driving time. However, if you get the driver named Paul, he will make your day enjoyable.

So beautiful,...

Linda_S, Nov 2025
So beautiful, informative, and amazing tour guide! Kevin was wonderful, caring, engaging and funny. He had good recommendations wherever we went. He was a very safe driver and we enjoyed him, and the tour, very much.

Driver/guide was...

Soma_G, Sep 2025
Driver/guide was terrible, very rude and unfriendly. Worst experience ever. Everyone in the bus was unhappy with him.

Nice day

tawnybell, Sep 2025
Great way to see the countryside. Long day on the bus but comfortable. Our driver Michael was wonderful

A great experience.

David_E, Sep 2025
Great trip. Comfortable bus. Tour guide was insightful and prepared. The stops were short when necessary but plenty of time at the most important ones.

Do not recommend

Clare_D, Aug 2025
A very long day to see the cliffs, this trip does Not cover the wild Atlantic way or Blackhead or Galway Bay as advertised!! Very disappointing. We do not recommend especially from Cork as you are on a coach for 9 ish hours!!!!!!

Cliffs Of Moher 🇮🇪

Danny_J, Aug 2025
Absolutely recommend. The views for The Cliffs of Moher were breathtaking. So glad I booked this experience

Great view not the bus

Stephen_E, Aug 2025
We didn’t visit all the spots we were promised the air-conditioning on the bus broke. The site and the weather is beautiful..

Cliffs of Moher

Laura_M, Aug 2025
Great way to see some of Ireland in the more remote locations. Our guide Noah provided information about the area that was very interesting.

Cliffs thumbs up! Tour bus and guide, thumbs down.

Beth_W, Aug 2025
Cliff are amazing! Long bus ride to the Cliffs from Cork. Would be much shorter drive from Galway! WiFi didn’t work on Paddywagon bus and the bus made a loud squeaking noise which made it hard to relax in the bus. Definitely have had much better tour guides.

Spectacular views!!

Gina_E, Jul 2025
The tour was a great way to see the cliffs without driving on my own through the countryside. It was stunning once we arrived. We were able to walk around on our own, take pictures, and explore the gift shop. I would have loved to have stayed there longer than the time allotted but you are on time constraints while on a tour, so it was expected. Our tour guide was knowledgeable. We listed to traditional Irish music during the whole tour. It was a great experience and I would recommend it!

Cliffs of Mohr

Tami_B, Jul 2025
Wish we could have spent more time at the cliffs and Bunratty castle. More info and history would also have been nice

Great day at the Cliffs

Jeannie_M, Jul 2025
This tour was a great way to spend the day and I can now cross The Cliffs of Moher off of my bucket list. We got lucky and had a beautiful sunny day. DJ and Niall were great tour guides. DJ even sang for us! Niall skillfully navigated the bus through some scary tight roads. Highly recommmend!

Not a tour, a bus ride

Lexie_K, Jun 2025
While the Cliffs of Moher do not disappoint, the “tour” does. This was not a tour. It was a bus ride to the Cliffs. Our tour guide did not offer much in the way of commentary or information. His interaction was minimal.

Great trip!

Samantha_S, Jun 2025
The trip was lovely! The bus was very comfortable and the drive scenic and smooth. The cliffs were gorgeous - we even saw puffins! The driver was knowledgeable and did a great job of blending the past and present of Irish history into his tour narrative! I also had some of the best ice cream I’ve ever had on our stop at Bunratty Castle! Highly recommend!!

Cliffs of Moher were nice but… no.

Erin_C, Jun 2025
This tour is a pretty big waste of time outside of the Cliffs of Moher and lunch. Cliffs were stunning! Lunch was nice, the ladies who worked at the restaurant were very sweet. We had enough time at Bunratty to figure out we could only take photos of the backside from a bad angle before jumping back on the coach. 20 minutes! The driver kept the temperature uncomfortably warm, especially considering the fact that we were on narrow winding roads and he drove by continuously accelerating to ride up too close behind cars then hitting the brakes. We were constantly jostled. Winding roads cannot be helped but constantly pumping both pedals with the heat blasting can be. Passengers were vomiting. And, at least half looked greenish when the tour ended. Honestly, even without the horrible driving, it wasn’t worth the money or time. We were given 5 minutes to stare at The Burren, which is a field of rocks. Listed in the itinerary are castles that we “pass by” so fast you can’t see them. They’re listed nonetheless on the itinerary to give the impression that the tour is more than just Cliffs of Moher. We drove through hours of farm fields to pass by these places when we could have gone to the cliffs then spent time at Bunratty Castle, and hopped onto to highway for a pleasant ride. I do not recommend this tour. I’d give it zero stars if I could. Find another way to see the cliffs and actually visit Bunratty Castle.

The bus driver was a bit...

Misti_S, Jun 2025
The bus driver was a bit focused on smoke breaks and not much else. There was a bit of history and we got to see amazing things (Cliffs of Moher and the Burrens). However the comfort stops were not amazing. I liked the Dunbury castle stop but we had such a short time there.

A long day but worth it!...

Kimberly_H, May 2025
A long day but worth it! See the cliffs! Brian was fantastic. Would do it again. Spend a couple of hours there if you can.

Funny driver

Iordana_A, May 2025
The only good part was the cliffs… other than that most of the time were in the bus!! I totally recommend to book another tour and not that!

Great tour driver/guide

Matanin_S, May 2025
Long day. Wear comfortable shoes and minimize what you carry( lots of steps/walking).the ride and driver were nice and our driver was very helpful and friendly. He had a lot of patience and good sense of humor👏👍.
