Great Day Tour from Cork - The Ring of Kerry and Killarney tour with Paddywagon Tours was fantastic. They’re punctual, sticking to the schedule at each stop, and the itinerary includes a good balance of sights. And reasonably priced. If you're offered the chance to take the Jaunting Cars tour in Killarney (for an extra fee), definitely go for it! It’s a fun, also reasonably priced experience, though be prepared to pay in cash (around €12-€15 per person). There are a couple of additional optional costs to keep in mind, like a stop for Irish Coffee (delicious!) and lunch. It’s a full-day tour, so bring your camera and a charger—there are countless photo-worthy moments throughout. The only drawback was the guide’s commentary. While knowledgeable and personable, he leaned heavily into a nationalistic perspective, frequently referencing historical conflicts with the English and playing patriotic music. While this may resonate with some, it could feel uncomfortable for others, especially international guests like the English couple on our tour. With a bit more balance in tone, this tour would be perfect. Overall, it’s an incredible day of Irish scenery and culture!

Fantastic Day! - My husband and I enjoyed the most wonderful day with Paddywagon Tours on the Ring of Kerry day tour yesterday. Our driver and host for the day was Brian. Brian is a safe and skilled driver who easily navigated our bus through traffic, narrow streets, and tight corners. The bus was completely clean and comfortable, has USB ports and on-board WiFi. Throughout the day, we journeyed through Killarney, Sneem, Waterville, the Kerry Bog Village, and Torc Falls to name a few. We opted not to go on the ‘jaunty ride’ in Killarney and instead roamed around the streets and visited the shops. What a charming and beautiful little town! Everyone was advised right at the beginning of our trip to always be on time when departing each location. Thankfully everyone was and it kept our journey on schedule. Brian was a knowledgeable guide and shared an abundance of information with our group. Let Paddywagon do the driving and show you the sights.

Outstanding trip - Favorite Viator trip I’ve ever been on. I would give it 6 stars if I could! Do this! So beautiful and you just wouldn’t have a chance to see all of this if someone knowledgeable wasn’t driving and leading.

Paul our Guide was AMAZING - Paul our driver was simply amazing. He had rules, explained them in a professional manner and the result is no one held up the bus! He told us history, where to go around Ireland and what we were going to see at each stop. He was on time, very informative and above all VERY PROFESSIONAL! If all Patty Wagon tours had Paul I’d go anywhere with them! He is the best tour guide/bus driver I’ve ever had traveling Thanks so much Paul!

Enjoyed Ring of Kerry & Killarney National Park - Really enjoyed the tour! Our bus driver, Paul, was well acquainted with the area and added lots of additional context. A highlight was the jaunting cars around Killarney National Park. Thanks to Patrick and Jack for making it so memorable.

Day trip to dingle penninsula in October 2024 - The driver is the guide, which shouldn't have been the case ideally. The driver was late by 30 mins in the first stop at Killarney. All the villages where the bus stops have to be explored by ourselves. Pick up is near paddywagon office which is same as the drop location. We started at 8:20 PM (time listed in the itinerary) and reached back by 6:40 PM.

Good tour, poor commentary. - This was billed as a guided tour. I feel a little guilty saying this as the young man is simply trying to earn a living but our guide's spoken English simply wasn't good enough. We were driven around the route, we stopped at the stops, the tour commentary was often incomprehensible.
