informative guide. nice to be picked up at Dun Laoghaire cruise dock - I really enjoyed seeing the Glendalough monastery. The tour around Dublin was nice. We walked (on our own) to Trinity College which was also nice

Great tour of Glendalough and Dublin highlights right from the port - Great tour of Glendalough and quick Dublin highlights with some time for lunch and shopping. Small group size and pickup right from the port.

Nothing special but ok. - The pickup van is situated just past the Princess buses (within 100 yards). Unfortunately, despite asking 3 people for assistance, we were directed 10 min up the road. The boarding pass lists Paddy Wagon as the vendor on the invoice but NOT on the boarding ticket sent out the day before. The van said Paddy Wagon on the side but we did not know that’s what we should be looking for. There was NO Viator sign or a sign with the name of the tour. Our driver/guide John was a nice enough guy but he just dropped us of at Glendaugh without telling us what we should be looking for. After quite a drive around Dublin - where tourist sites were identified as we drove by - we stopped at a popular tourist shopping/eating area. It was an ok day. Nothing special

Glendalough Region and Dublin Shore Excursion - Our Paddywagon coach was parked in the lot when we walked out of the terminal but it didn't have the company name on it so about 15 of us were standing behind it worrying that we would not be picked up. The misunderstanding lasted about 10 minutes but seemed like a half hour. We were soon on our way to the Glendalough region with our driver/guide Ian. He was very entertaining and knowledgeable but he had a stationary mic and we frequently missed words because he turned his head. The scenery was breathtaking and we had two hours at the national park to hike to the Upper Lake and explore the old church and cemetery. The tour then went onto Dublin with a driving tour and about 2 hours for lunch. I would definitely book with PaddyWagon tours again.

Just a ride - Our guide knew little of the places we went except for what he remembered as a child and perhaps a recommendation from someone. He dropped us off in 2 places and let us entertain ourselves for hours. Compared to other tours this was a disappointment. A waste of time and money.

Uncaring subcontractor Paddy Wagon - We were in the cruise bus lot & gave our tickets to Paddy Wagon agent who is the subcontractor tour and was listed on the ticket.Told he never heard of Viator. Told we were late and our tour had left. We were on the first tender from the ship. We were still on time compared to the listed time on the ticket. Told we were in the wrong place. Were directed to get an. Uber for a 20 ride to their downtown office. While waiting for our Uber for another 20 minutes, another Paddy Wagon agent said they missing 4 people & called out our 2 names. The day was almost ruined. We boarded the bus. Guide was good once tour begun. Meanwhile another couple who were told the same thing & had taken a cab to the office. Their day was ruined.

Not recommended unless you are a chronic late comer! - First, we were very upset that the operator waited over an hour after the departure for some late comers. That’s very unfair to people who were punctual. We can understand maybe waiting up to 20 maybe 30 minutes tops, but any more is absurd. Hard to imagine that parts of our travel itinerary was not compromised despite the insistence otherwise by the bus driver. The excursion itself was okay, but we’re just very upset with the late departure situation.

Not much of a tour. - Guide (John) seemed disinterested; was accustomed to doing 8 day tours of Ireland and was worried about not having enough time to get everything in. The result was he shortened our time at Glendalough to a little over an hour - (there was an occasional very light rain which was not a hinderance to many.). This was not sufficient time to walk to the lake and back, which many wanted to do. John gave no information about Glendalough on the drive down, no suggestions on what to see. After Glendalough he drove back to Dublin and showed us some sights from the van. He then dropped us off in town with 3 1/2 hours for lunch, shopping, and the like. Several objected, stating this was too much time, but this is what John decided. Very disappointing. John should not be assigned this tour again.

No refund if ship cancels port for weather. - Ship did not get to port due to weather. And the tour operator, Paddywagon tours, refused to give refunds. Easy payday for them!

Waited an hour for the bus to show up - We all waited at the port for the bus for over an hour in the chilly weather. The guide/driver who did finally showed up apologized and tried his best to lighten the mood. However, it was quite disappointing that our tour did not start once we docked at the port.
