Itinerary
Check in at 7.30am with our friendly Paddywagon Staff at our Tourist Office located on Bridge Street. Ready for a 7.45am departure. We depart Cork and enjoy a scenic drive across the beautiful golden vale of Cork, to historic Limerick city. This city is the setting for blockbuster novel and movie Angela's Ashes, and is also the home of the Munster rugby team.
We will view and learn about King John's Castle and the River Shannon. We continue via County Clare to the west coast of Ireland.
We spend 1.5 hours at the Cliffs of Moher - one of the world's greatest natural attractions. These cliffs stand 1/3 the size of the Empire State Building and have large populations of puffins and gannets. You can enjoy a hike or a relaxed walk, while gazing in amazement at this geological and natural beauty. The Cliffs of Moher also have shops and restaurants, anything from snacks and souvenirs available in plenty. Visitor charges at the Cliffs are included in the tour price saving you EUR 10.00. You will also receive a complimentary ticket to the award winning Atlantic Edge exhibition that examines all aspects of the mighty Cliffs of Moher.
We depart from the Cliffs of Moher for a stop in Doolin or Liscannor, tiny west of Ireland villages where you may wish to enjoy a delicious local lunch (optional), maybe a seafood chowder or lamb stew with a local craft beer (optional). There are options to suit all diets and tastes, including vegan. On the way we will have superb views of the Atlantic coast and the Aran Islands.
This afternoon we'll round off the day by taking a spectacular drive along the coast as far as Black Head and romantic Galway Bay. This wonderful area is known as the Burren, a lunar landscape dating back 300 million years. Sit back, take in the scenery and imagine how the locals lived on this incredible land over the centuries.
We stop at Bunratty Castle, for a photo stop and a chance to grab a coffee and refresh yourself. You can easily imagine Norman knights, Gaelic warriors, and jousting chieftains at this hallowed spot.
We return to Cork after a fun filled day.

Driver travel bus everything was better than expected fie 11h pass as in flight. Great experience and highlight of my trip
Unfortunately, the experience could not be enjoyed at all due to very poor visibility, heavy fog and rain. We were unable to see virtually anything along the route. In weather conditions like these, I believe there should be a member of staff on site to assess visibility before departure and inform customers when the tour cannot realistically provide the experience they paid for, rather than allowing it to proceed as normal. As the advertised experience could not effectively be provided, I am requesting a full refund.
The guide, Conor, was fantastic. The cliffs were foggy and yet it made our day incredible. Thanks Conor!
Fantastic tour!! Plenty opportunities for photos. Driver/guide was great. Would recommend to new travelers to Ireland.
If you crave the raw cruelty of an Irish veteran, suffocating dominance, and absolute cold-blooded control—book this tour. Look for this man. On this desolate rain-soaked land, your dignity means nothing. You’re dragged through the mud, forced to surrender, begging in the cold for his relentless authority to crush whatever is left of you.❤️❤️
It has been a great experience. Although you have to get up early and the distance from Cork is long, the bus is very comfortable and Connor, the driver and guide, makes it very enjoyable for you. First, there is a short stop, and immediately after, you arrive at the Cliffs, and since they give you the tickets, you don't have to wait in lines or deal with delays. They give you two hours to walk around. The cliffs are impressive and very much worth it. Afterward, you stop for lunch, and after a short stop for ice cream, you return to Cork on a comfortable trip.
Noah was an excellent guide and Brian a great driver. The cliffs were beautiful. Would’ve been better to stop somewhere with more options for lunch than a stand alone restaurant but overall the trip was nice.
We rented a car for our stay but it was nice to be driven around so we could really take in the sights. The driver was knowledgeable and friendly. The landscape is gorgeous and well worth the price of the tour.
Excellent day tour. Cliffs of Moher and the Wild Atlantic Way were sensational! Our tour guide (Riko l think) was both informative and entertaining!
Paddy wagon tour was well-organized, on-time and staff were very friendly. Our driver Conor was great. He was funny and informative. We enjoyed his stories and folklore he shared. He was a safe driver too. Wish we had more time at the Cliffs of Moher.
