Great day trip, lots of... - Great day trip, lots of good things to see. Brian was a great driver/guide. The hedges were pretty sparse but Brian told us before hand so we weren’t surprised. The castle ruins had great ocean views and the causeway was quite the hike but worth it. Could’ve done without time in Belfast but overall a great trip

The Giants Causeway is a unique place to visit - The Giants Causeway trip is a very enjoyable day out. You visit a number of interesting places on the way there, then on the journey back to Dublin we stopped in Belfast for an hour. I used this time to do a black taxi tour of an area of the city and visited both sides of the peace wall. Our Paddy Wagon driver and tour guide Liam was most informative during the trip and kept us amused with his jokes and stories. The Causeway itself is a must see and very unique place to experience.

Great trip - It was a long day and we had to hurry at each stop to stay on schedule. Would’ve been nice to spend more time at each location, but it was already a 13 1/2 hour day.

From Tears to Laughter—Thanks to Shane - Our driver, Shane, truly made all the difference on this Paddywagon tour. He was absolutely amazing! His narration was so captivating that I found myself teary-eyed one moment and laughing out loud the next. If I could have had Shane as our guide for all of our Dublin tours, I absolutely would have. The tour itself was fantastic and one of the highlights of our trip—but Shane’s personality and storytelling made it unforgettable. Even my 10-year-old said, “Shane was awesome!” He even had us singing on the bus!!

Best tour guide yet - Shane (I believe that’s how it’s spelled) was the best tour guide yet. Funny, engaging and knowledgeable. He even sang old Irish songs to better explain how engrained the history is within the Irish culture.

Excellent Giant's Causeway Tour - Our tour to the Giant's Causeway with our tour guide Michael was great! He was very informative, funny, and kept us on time. We had ample time at each location and were able to view great site's of Ireland. Michael provided historical context in an enjoyable fashion and was very open and honest to provide insight and answer any questions about the tour or Ireland in general.

Great tour, one sided information - The trip itself was very good we enjoyed it very much, Gerry had a lot of knowledge and the sites we visited were interesting with some incredible views of the Giant's Causeway and Dunluce Castle, the food we had at our stop was lovely too, however er it was very one-sided information from a Catholic point of view. My partner got a bit offended as he is Irish but from the other point of view, we understand the history and of course, bad things happened however it wasn't that one-sided. It doesn't give tourists who are learning about the history and an impartial view on all that has happened.
