Spectacular trip after poor communication - Paul, our driver, was a great and entertaining guide.
Our day started off badly as we booked a 9:30 trip. After waiting a half hour, we called paddywagons. No answer. Eventually we poked around in the Viator app and found it was rescheduled with a new pickup point. It seems they thought it was enough to email us with less than 24 hrs notice.
They had our phone numbers. A simple call or text would have been enough. No. They had to email us on vacation.
Love Paul, cannot recommend paddywagon.

It was a nice trip.... - It was a nice trip. Without the rain it would have been much nicer. So, unfortunately, the clouds and fog did not allow us to see much of Dingle. Yet, the tour has shown us the beautiful nature of Kerry. Would do it again - with better weather

Good option for seeing sights in the Ring of Kerry - We enjoyed the tour and were glad we left the driving to someone else! John, our tour guide, was knowledgeable, fun and engaging. We ended up staying on the bus at the first stop at the bog village since we weren’t interested in paying the admission fee and there wasn’t anywhere else to hang out there on a rainy day. The itinerary stated no food was supplied yet the stop in Waterville was designed for us to go into a restaurant for lunch (self-pay). Had we known this, we would not have brought something else to eat as a hot meal would have been preferable on such a a stormy day. The Sneem stop could have been a bit longer since the store was so crowded with other tour bus riders and we knew we had to make quick choices before standing in a long line to pay for our purchases (kicking myself for not buying a couple things because of the quick decisions). Overall, it was a good experience and we were happy we booked it with Paddywagon Tours.

Disappointing - The tour was not worth it. The only saving grace was the Torc Waterfall which was the last stop. The first stop “Kerry Bog” was terrible. The tour needs to find a couple of quaint towns where there are places to eat and shop and then give us time to do both. Otherwise, it’s just a long bus ride on very curvy roads with a couple of stops for a quick photo shoot.
