- Paddywagon Day Tours - Check in at 7.30am with our friendly Paddywagon Staff at our Tourist Office located on Bridge Street. Ready for a 7.45am departure. We depart Cork and enjoy a scenic drive across the beautiful golden vale of Cork, to historic Limerick city. This city is the setting for blockbuster novel and movie Angela’s Ashes, and is also the home of the Munster rugby team.
- King John’s Castle - We will view and learn about King John’s Castle and the River Shannon. We continue via County Clare to the west coast of Ireland.
- Cliffs of Moher - We spend 1.5 hours at the Cliffs of Moher - one of the world’s greatest natural attractions. These cliffs stand 1/3 the size of the Empire State Building and have large populations of puffins and gannets. You can enjoy a hike or a relaxed walk, while gazing in amazement at this geological and natural beauty. The Cliffs of Moher also have shops and restaurants, anything from snacks and souvenirs available in plenty. Visitor charges at the Cliffs are included in the tour price saving you EUR 10.00. You will also receive a complimentary ticket to the award winning Atlantic Edge exhibition that examines all aspects of the mighty Cliffs of Moher.
- Doolin - We depart from the Cliffs of Moher for a stop in Doolin or Liscannor, tiny west of Ireland villages where you may wish to enjoy a delicious local lunch (optional), maybe a seafood chowder or lamb stew with a local craft beer (optional). There are options to suit all diets and tastes, including vegan. On the way we will have superb views of the Atlantic coast and the Aran Islands.
- Wild Atlantic Way - This afternoon we’ll round off the day by taking a spectacular drive along the coast as far as Black Head and romantic Galway Bay. This wonderful area is known as the Burren, a lunar landscape dating back 300 million years. Sit back, take in the scenery and imagine how the locals lived on this incredible land over the centuries.
- Bunratty Castle and Folk Park - We stop at Bunratty Castle, for a photo stop and a chance to grab a coffee and refresh yourself. You can easily imagine Norman knights, Gaelic warriors, and jousting chieftains at this hallowed spot.
- Paddywagon Tours Cork - We return to Cork after a fun filled day.

Spectacular views from the cliff - The best part of the tour was climbing the cliff and experiencing the views from the cliff. I just wish I had more than just 1 hour and 30 minutes there

Worth the time and money - The overall trip was very good. Be prepared for a long ride to and from Cork. We got to see many of the sites without having to rent a car, which was worth all the time and money. I would also be sure to expect intense wind and, of course, rain!

Cliffs are 🤩, Drive was not - The drive is very long (3 hours) and while you do stop to use the restroom, there is not much to see on the way.
I would assume that we would be a bit entertained during the long drive, but no. The driver didn’t give us facts or talk much at all, no movie despite tvs, WiFi was not great, and we were bored most of the time.
Not a great tour. That said, the cliffs are gorg. Definitely make the trip, maybe just not this tour.

Cliffs great, the rest of the day not so much - Cliffs of Moher are beautiful but we spent 90 minutes there in 10 hour day. Bus had no Wi-Fi, USB charging or working bathroom. Tour guide didn’t tell us much, whether about times of stops or facts about what we were seeing. No stop or information about The Burren or King John’s Castle on our drive through Limerick. No suggestion about how to make the best use of brief visit to Bunratty Castle. Very disappointed since previous tour to Giants Causeway, from Dublin, was excellent.

A disappointing hike to a beautiful place - The excursion only partially corresponds to what was promised on the site and written on the Reservation. In Limerick they did not let us off saying that since there were too many of us it would take too long, but they let other passengers on board. Giovanni's castle was pointed out to us in the distance. At the Cliffs they gave us only 90 minutes, warning us that in case of delay they do not wait and continue to the restaurant. We did part of the running route for fear of being on foot. Then stop for an hour to have lunch at the restaurant
We did not see the Burren with the excuse that with the big bus they could not transit that area. Bunratty gave us 60 minutes which was not enough to get into the castle and so we could only watch it from the outside. In total 7 and a half hours by bus and only 90 minutes that were worth it. Disappointing hike although the Cliffs of Moher are gorgeous.

Wasted money - Just a lost day on a freezing bus. Our Tour began with a broken bus, so that we had to wait nearly two hours at the meeting point. Than we didn't make any breaks until cliffs of moher, where we had only one and a half hours which is not enough. After that we were driven to a fast food Restaurant for lunch, which seemed to be built only for the reason of filling up tourists as quick as possible. On the way back only a 15 minutes break at the bunratty castle to use the bathroom and make one picture from the far.
Only positiv aspekt: our guide tried her very best.
