9-Day All Ireland Tour from Dublin

I was looking for a way to see Ireland but without the driving. This tour did just that. Starting in Dublin, we took in many sites in Ireland. Kilkenny, Waterford (yes this included the Crystal shop), Blarney Castle ( yes I kissed the stone), The Kerry Bogs, Bunratty Castle And The Cliffs of Moher, Glenveagh, Giants Causeway, Carick a Rede Rope Bridge ( on a very rare day, as the bridge was closed due to high winds) Derry and Belfast. AND perfect weather! Who could ask for more?

We wanted to see the whole Island, and that's exactly what we did. Our tour guide Ruairi was amazing, funny and knew a little about everything. We learned about everywhere we had on the agenda and with his added input we have a list of things to go back and see and places to stay for the future. If you are looking to see Ireland, and don't want to make the plans yourself, this is the tour for you, our lodgings were solid and always close to the heart of the town we were in, and with the tour schedule you will see more than if you tried on your own. Pick up and drop off are in the heart of Dublin so all you need is to get there on time and you will have a great adventure.

What a great value. We saw so much of Ireland in 9 days. We selected the Bed and Breakfast option and were very pleased with the location (could walk to city centers), cleanliness and breakfasts. Shawn our driver/guide was quite knowledgeable and gave options, whenever available, for doing extra things to enhance our experience. My only criticism is that I would have appreciated a tip guideline. I am impressed by this tour.

This is an outstanding tour for cost-conscious travelers. PaddyWagon Tours, and especially their driver, Freddie, made what could have been a disaster into the trip of a life-time. We started out with delayed flights and lost luggage and ended up with a deep appreciation for the Irish people and country. Freddie was engaged and knowledgeable. He went out of way to ensure that everyone had a good experience, even to the point of backtracking twice to pick up misplaced cameras and purses while still keeping us on schedule. The B and B accommodations were fine, the breakfasts were fine, the busses were fine. The pubs were outstanding! Don't hesitate to book this tour.

Amazing tour!!! FANTASTIC guide Shaun!!! Thank you for this unforgettable voyage!! Ria

My girlfriend and I went on this trip and we had an incredible time in Ireland! The tour was through Paddywagon tours and our guide was a man named Malcolm. Malcolm made this trip memorable with all of his knowledge genuine character. The sights were stunning. Good value of a trip. Would do it again

We booked through Elegant Irish Tours, but we were placed on a Paddywagon Tour instead, which we were told was the same thing. I will say this: If you are looking for elegance, continue your search. But if elegance is not at the top of your must-have list, this is a nice way to get around and see the sites. During our nine days, we went through three tour guides. The first guide was rather crass and unprofessional and as we later found out, he was not entirely truthful in answering questions about the area and culture, and we were glad to switch to someone else after two days. The second guide was fantastic and told us a lot about the history of the places we were going. We were sad to see him go after three days, but the third guide was also good about telling the history and legends though he did make things a bit tense sometimes with the other passengers by oversharing his religious and political views. Aside from the slightly sketchy way of doing things, this trip is really great at covering your Ireland to-do list. The nine days of the tour were essentially the only days we spent in Ireland, and we didn't leave feeling like we missed anything! My advice is to take this trip, but make sure you actually end up on an Elegant Irish Tours bus I saw them, so I know they truly exist.
