We begin our tour by taking the lovely little drive through county Wicklow knows also as the garden of Ireland. With its rolling hills, babbling brooks and romantic glens one can easily understand how this landscape was a highlight and feature of both Hollywood blockbusters P.S. I love you and Braveheart. Then it's onward to Glendalough known as the valley of two lakes, famed by St. Kevin's monastery dating back to the 6th century. The monastic site has Ireland's finest round tower and you can even try and touch your hands around St. Kevin's cross, as legend has it you shall then be married within a year. A truly wonderful place to visit! *all timings approximate. subject to change based on cruise liner schedule**
As we return from Glendalough to the city we will pass by some of Wicklow's finest mountains. With magnificent lakes and rolling turf hills, commonly used as a source of energy in historic Ireland. This area is every photographers dream and symbolizes the picture postcard images that make Ireland unique. *all timings approximate. subject to change based on cruise liner schedule**
After lunch, or a refreshment stop if our departure has been later, we shall inspire you with the sites of Dublin's fair City. Highlights shall include O'Connell Street, the Ha'Penny bridge, the Temple Bar, Molly Malone statue, St. Patrick's Cathedral, Christchurch Cathedral, Trinity College and of course time to enjoy some shopping on Grafton Street - home to all our finest traditional luxury stores. *all timings approximate. subject to change based on cruise liner schedule**

The itinerary was promising. Unfortunately it decided to rain after a few weeks of really nice weather (apparently). Not anyone's fault. Or driver and guide Declan was so accommodating and flexible. Kept us cranky tourists happy with funny stories and was very knowledgeable about Ireland and Dublin.
This tour was cancelled with ZERO time notice! Only upon calling tour operator after Dublin arrival did I receive cancellation notification. Outrageous.
Liam was amazing and pushed our experience over the top. Glendalough and the Wicklow mountains took our breath away and we loved Dublin! Liam took us to a pub where we had the most delicious Irish stew and he taught us many Irish -isms; such as … follow me, I’m right behind you. Lol. What a great tour! I can’t recommend it enough.
The tour was average and gave us a good view of the countryside. We went to a park and were given no map or clear directions as to what to see. We also were dropped off in the city for about an hour but again had no map or directions as to how to get to the highlights of the city. Maps in both places would have been great so we didn’t have to figure things out from our phone.
After all their promises to make sure they will abide by when our ship docks, they left all of us stranded because our ship disembarked too slowly for them. So none of us got to go on the tour that we paid for!! Don’t believe their promises that they’ll wait for your ship
No show and when I called they said sorry they had to leave early. Supposedly they tried to call.... Useless when we are on the ship
The tour was good. The company needs to rent buses with toilets. The pit and lunch stops were poorly timed. We spent too long without a pit or lunch stop. They need to better work on timing.
Driver didn’t show up. We were told by shore advisors he left. Our cruise was delayed in letting passengers to go ashore because of large crowds. Driver left and didn’t bother to check ship’s schedule
Over cast and light rain much of the day which is typical for the region. Connor did a great job navigating and informing. We had a great day in spite of the challenges with water taxi from ship to shore.
To begin with, the bus wasn't marked with any type of indicators showing it was a PaddyWagon tour. The driver/guide wasn't visible and greeting people and had just a small logo on the front of his jacket. We couldn't find the bus until he heard us taking out loud about looking for the Paddywagon bus., and then he got up and contacted us. Eight people missed the bus, probably because the couldn't find it. The tour guide did talk during the trip and gave us information during the ride, but not at the sites. When it was time to get back on the bus in downtown Dublin, the bus was not at the designated pickup point, which was the same drop-off point, and didn't show up until 25 minutes late. Everyone started talking about how they were going to get back to the cruise ship and started looking up taxis and Uber rides. It added an element of stress that we didn't need.
