Reisroute
Ga door Killorglin, de thuisbasis van het oude Keltische festival Puck Fair. Dateert uit 1613. Dit is een van de oudste festivals ter wereld waar een geit koning van het dorp tot koning wordt gekroond en elk jaar gedurende 3 dagen in een voetstuk op een voetstuk wordt geplaatst. Mensen komen van heinde en verre om hulde te brengen aan de koningsgeit en te genieten van de festiviteiten van straatstalletjes, muziek en nog veel meer. Dit deel van de tour neemt je mee langs een deel van de beroemde "Ring of Kerry" -rijroute.
We genieten van een mooie rit langs delen van het beroemde schiereiland Dingle. We stoppen onderweg voor foto's met een prachtig uitzicht op Dingle Bay, Skellig-rotsen, Inch-strand. . Deze ideale instelling is perfect voor panoramische foto's die de Wild Atlantic Way toelaten.
Pittoresk dorpje met uitzicht op de baai van Ballinskelligs met zijn eigen prachtige strand, beroemd door de Skellig-rotsen met hun vroegchristelijke klooster. Charlie Chaplin, regelmatige bezoeker, hield van Waterville en vandaar het standbeeld ter ere van hem, onthuld in 1998. Het is ook de thuisbasis van een van de beste golfclubs van Ierland en de meest beroemde voetballer Mick O'Dwyer en Mick O'Connell.
We stoppen in het charmante dorpje Sneem. Dit is een van de meest kleurrijke en charmante dorpen van Ierland. Met twee pleinen en een prachtige brug in het midden van het dorp, ontmoet de rivier de Sneem de stroom van Kenmare Bay. Het was ook de gewone vakantiekeuze of Charles de Gaulle.
Een van de mooiste en meest bewonderde nationale parken in de wereld, Killarney National Park, was het eerste in zijn soort dat in 1932 in Ierland werd gevestigd. Met een prachtig uitzicht op de meren van Killarney en Black Valley biedt het park u de mogelijkheid om van een wandeling te genieten in dit geweldige landschap en breng tijd door met wandelen langs de meren.
Torc Waterfall is een 18m hoge waterval die door de beboste Friers Glenn stroomt. We houden een halte op deze prachtige natuurlijke site van schoonheid. Geniet van een korte wandeling en zie misschien zelfs de edelherten die bekende inwoners van het nationale park van Killarney zijn. De waterval heeft een openbaar wandelpad dat zich uitstrekt tot de top van Torc Mountain.
We worden om 10:45 uur opgehaald voor een vertrek van 11 uur.

Would definitely give no stars if there was an option. We went to Dingle. First of all the driver didn't even bother to turn on the aircon when there's around 30degrees outside. We had to ask him to do it as my nephew almost vomited on the bus... after 2 hrs aircon broke completely and we spent full day at 27degrees inside. As this is his 1st time in Ireland when he saw some nice views through the window he would ask some questions. The driver reprimanded me in front of evervone that I cannot talk and need to listen ta what he is saying... we were not speaking loudly and only when there's was really a need for it. The driver made rude comments over the mic 3 more times....absolutely disrespectful and rude attitude. I didnt know this is "in silence trip where noone is allowed to talk during 9hrs trip".. . He didnt stop at all during Slea Head Drive where all other buses would stop. Didn't stop at all for Dunquin Pier, when previously said he would... We spending a full day on the bus and he is only stopping so we can take pics from inside of the bus.... Absolutely a waste of money, time and shocking service. Booked Paddywagon for the 1st and last time. Extremely poor quality of trip. Dont recommend! Horrendous BTW.. the driver hit a bird on the way and didnt even bother to remove it
Very enjoyable tour despite the weather. DJ was knowledgeable and entertaining
Fantastic tour taking in great scenery and locations. Highly recommended. very friendly driver Only down side was that we were given the wrong meeting location and start time. Only found out after making a phone call.
The trip is well worth the value of money. It was a great day out with my parents.
Think twice about using Viator and Paddy Wagon Tours. They changed the time and location, but never notified our group. They claim they sent an email, but never received anything from them. There were two other parties there that also never received notification from the tour operator or Viator. We did receive an email from Viator that morning confirming the time and location that I had on my confirmation email. The tour operator changed the location and time. They took our $900+ dollars and told us to go pound sand and would not give us a refund. Viator does not help or protect you from sketchy tours. Very disappointed, think twice
The tour itself is lovely but our tour guide, Tommy, made it even more special.
We signed up for this tour months in advance. It was supposed to be a guided tour taking us from Dublin to visit various locations in southwest Ireland. Day One began with a temporary driver, Michael, who took us to our first overnight destination. He had some mic problems but soon figured out a way to fix them. Day two began with our permanent tour guide, Connor, who started off Day Two by letting us know we would not be seeing the sights listed on other tour's brochure. He was unable to make his mic work at all and informed us that he didn't want to hurt his voice by speaking to us without a mic, so he drove us through various parts of the countryside without speaking to us. We had no idea where we were or what we were seeing for the rest of the day. Day Three began with Connor showing us that he had a small PA system for that day. When he tested it out on our group he discovered that he couldn't increase the volume sufficiently enough for the entire bus to hear him without the system creating an echo effect when he spoke. He said that the echo effect would drive him nuts so, again, most of Day Three was spent driving from one unknown town to the next without knowing where we were or what we were seeing. Day Four was just the same silent drive around the countryside. When those of us seated in the back of the bus told him at every stop that we couldn't hear him, he responded "That's Ok". But it wasn't OK at all. This was supposed to be a GUIDED TOUR, not just a country drive. All of our attempts to tell the Paddywagon office about these issues, and, later, requests for a refund have gone unanswered. I would not recommend Paddywagon to anyone and they should be avoided like the plague.
The tour was great. Our driver was super knowledgeable and made it a really fun experience.
We really enjoyed the Ring of Kerry tour. Our driver was Zicu (may have mispelt) and he was a considerate, safe driver and friendly and helpful to his passengers. He told us about places as we drove along and we enjoyed all the places we stopped. We'd have loved longer at Torc Waterfall though. One thing, Paddywagon changed the pick up point from Rock Road in Killarney to outside the Tourist office - we did not ever get a message about this and even on the morning Viator was still telling us the pick up point was Rock Road. By chance, a couple of days before someone in the Tourist info office told us it had been changed and we then rang Paddywagon to ask for confirmation of this. Apparently this lack of update was affecting a lot of people who had booked the tour via Viator earlier in the year (like us). So I'd urged anyone else to double check!
This bus tour provided zero communication Our original tour was rescheduled due to bus problems and we were never contacted. Thankfully someone else at the original pick up point who had received a voicemail was able to guide us. The bus driver was aggressive on the road and the ride was bumpy and scary at times. The tour guide was very biased against England and the US and made that known. Not a great look when they are taking US and UK money from us to take the tour Won’t recommend period
