Great day at the Cliffs - 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!

Great trip! - 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!!

Amazing- highlight of my trip to Leprechaun Land - I did the Paddywagon tour from Cork to the Cliffs of Moher in April 2025, and honestly, it was one of the best days of my whole trip to Ireland. The whole thing was super well organized but never felt rushed — which is exactly what you want on a day trip. Our driver Odhran was great, really funny and full of interesting stories about the places we drove through. It felt more like hanging out with a mate than being on a tour. The bus was comfortable, too, which is a big plus for a long day. The Cliffs themselves were absolutely stunning — way more impressive than I expected. We had plenty of time to walk around, take photos, and just enjoy the views. The weather was actually pretty nice for April, which made everything even better. We also stopped for lunch in a small town, and it was a nice break to stretch our legs and grab some food. The whole vibe was relaxed and friendly, which made the day even more enjoyable. If you’re in Cork and want to see the Cliffs of Moher, I’d 100% recommend Paddywagon. It was easy, fun, and honestly just a really memorable day.

Cliffs of Mohr - Wish we could have spent more time at the cliffs and Bunratty castle. More info and history would also have been nice

The shapes are not right. - To Spaniards who come to this tour, it is important to go to the paddywagon shop tours cork, to know where to take the bus. The workers in charge of giving the information and making the tour...

The bus driver was a bit... - 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.

NEVER AGAIN - have no doubt that I am not the first to write to you regarding the mishaps (and I am being kind with that word) that happened on this trip. I will bullet point them and expand as necessary. Please know that the driver, Neil and Guide, Noah are wonderful people and we enjoyed meeting them. 1. Driver was not familiar with the route from Cork to The Cliffs. 2. Delays in arriving at destination 3. Guide busy giving directions to driver 4. Mechanical issue with bus from Cork to The Cliffs. Bus could not come out of low gear. 5. Very Late arrival at Cliffs and not because of mechanical or traffic. 6. Air Conditioning not working on bus. So, I can go on with other Bullet points but the ones I have listed are enough to justify my saying this trip was an absolute disaster for us. Guide had to continually give driver directions as he was clearly not familiar with the route to The Cliffs and therefore the guide was not able to pay as much attention to the paying passengers. It was terrible that the delays in arriving at the Cliffs due to mechanical issue and driver not confident with the route meant we had so little time there. We were already very late before the mechanical issue and that was stated by your dispatcher to the driver. He was not pleased ever before the first issue. We ended up having one hour and 20 minutes total at the main highlight of the trip. We only got to do the right side of the cliffs and that’s it. We had Planned on doing the left side along with “The Experience” event inside the visitor center. Alas, this was not to be as your “Slot” at the cliffs did not allow you to stay for the normal time period. We were so disappointed with that. It just felt like the day was ruined. We board the bus at the Cliffs and the bus was at least 27 to 29 degrees. I asked the driver to put on the AC but it didn’t work. We sat on the bus at The Cliffs for 30 minutes while the guide was on the phone with dispatch and someone by the name of Paul. All to no avail I might add. Another driver from your company came on board to try and get it to work but again, to no avail. Eventually, we just left the cliffs in sweltering heat on the bus and was brought to your restaurant for lunch. Once again, we were late so we were given 35 minutes to get off the bus, into the restaurant, order the food and eat it as fast as possible in order to get back on the bus in time. We left and headed for Bunratty Castle once again in sweltering heat on bus. Perspiration rolling down from my back with the heat on the bus. So much so, the guide ordered the driver to stop at the next small town just to let us all off the bus to get some air. That was appreciated as we were all so uncomfortable it became unhealthy. We stayed off the bus for 15 minutes or so but again we had to endure absolute torturous heat while we traveled to Bunratty Castle. Because we once again were so late getting there, we got 35 minutes to spend there which may as well have been cancelled. There was a preliminary plan to stop at Charleville so we could have a break and get some relief from the heat on the bus but it never happened. We had to just endure stifling heat until we got to Cork. To say we had a terrible experience with your company would be kind. We chose your company because you promised us a great experience. We had anything but a great experience. We never got to experience the highlight of the trip “The Cliffs Of Moher” We were run through the rest of the stops just for the sake of stopping and we endured insufferable heat exhaustion from being on a bus that had mechanical issues and AC breakdown issues. Paddywagon denies AC was broken even with clear evidence I produced. Also refused to provide details for contact of Manager. Just an awful company that has no interest in passenger safety or comfort. I will NEVER use Paddywagon tours again. Pics are of us on the side of the road in order to get some relief from the heat on the bus.

Nice place but not to do with toor organized by Cork - Practically a toor for military prepared a bus without toilet indisposing driver in 4 280 euros of tickets an hour and a half visit, lunch time 30 minutes and return. Nice place but organized trip terrible for what it costs.

Not a tour, a bus ride - 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.

Cliffs of Moher were nice but… no. - 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.
