Fabulous time travelling the Ring of Kerry - We had a great time touring the Ring of Kerry so many beautiful, breathtaking views. The stories Connor told were fantastic and full of Irish wit and charm, me thinks he might have kissed the Blarney Stone lol. The optional Jaunting Car Horse ride in the national park was so worth it and I recommend everyone to do it. Thank you to Mike & Jessica (horse). We saw so many beautiful landscapes that the best thing I can do is share some photos. Thanks again to Paddywagon and Connor for an excellent day of memories.

Worthy day trip! - Trip very well planned, nice amount of Irish wit, fantastic views and not a one boring moment. No need to pack lunch, as there will be restaurant stop, coffee stop. The shopping stop could have been at least 15min longer. Our driver Iko was friendly and trustworthy, with good sense of humor. You should take cash for carriage riding, but our driver also showed us the ATM on the spot. Carriage is so worth it, better take the chance! Wonderful carriage drivers, so funny and they know their stuff so well. Some places were windy so wear something warm and windproof, but otherwise the wearher was mild (mid-April).

Great Tour - Saw a lot - Great trip saw a lot we wouldn't have seen otherwise without a guide. A little cumbersome coming from cork because you make stops in Killarney to pick up and swap people with other buses which added about 1.5 hours total including both beginning and end of tour. Also was a little confused at plan for Killarney because they drop you off at an outlet store and then tell you you have to walk far for the national park or you pay and extra charge for a horse drawn tour just a heads up we weren't sure if we should go with the recommended tour or try to see the park ourself. I think it would have just been better to explore the town if I did it again. For such a long day the bus swapping was a little much but the tour itself and the operators were great! Crew did an excellent job navigating.

Beautiful landscapes seen from the bus window! - Beautiful landscapes seen from the bus window! Few stops and the driver, who is also the guide, does not have much patience to explain about the places. Do not recommend!

Very disappointing - My 3 cousins and I were really looking forward to the Ring of Kerry tour on a Paddywagon bus. However, when we were on the bus the coach driver/tour guide called Zeko, was very rude, sharp and abrupt. At least 3 times he told us angrily to stop talking while he was talking. Our first stop was at Killarney Retail Outlet where we had 1 hour. By the time we had been to the toilet and walked around a few shops, it was time to get back on the bus. We would have much preferred to be dropped off in Killarney itself because a retail outlet with half of the shops closed down wasn't our idea of what the tour should have been about. When my cousin asked Zeko where we were going to stop for lunch and for how long. He couldn't answer because of the language barrier and then got angry because my cousin wanted an answer to her question. It was very hard to understand him when he was giving us information on the bus about Kerry because he spoke in broken English. We would have preferred an Irish tour guide who would have been easy to understand. The tour itself was good and The Ring of Kerry was beautiful, but we were let down by the very let down by our experience with the tour guide. For this reason alone I wouldn't go on a Paddywagon tour again.
