Horse and buggy ride around the park was amazing. Our driver Dave was very friendly and knowledgeable. Absolutely loved the views, and even dipped our toes in the water at Inch beach. Definitely will be back to Kerry

Kerry highlights

Geoffrey_A, Aug 2023

Very nice trip and scenary but the trip is a bit too long. More stops on the way to see different places would help.

Disappointing

Marie_T, Aug 2023

The driver was awesome but we did not visit one of the places I was really looking forward to. We could have less time in the town and visited the manor.

Beautiful views

Bevan_M, May 2023

Everything after Adare was amazing. Especially the national park, grand valley and ocean views. Driver was funny and knowledgeable.

Amazing Scenery but long day

Connie_J, Sep 2022

This tour had amazing scenery and our guide did a good job. I recommend the tour but people need to be aware that it is about 4-5 hours to Kerry from Dublin. I requested accommodations to sit towards the front but the driver never received that information. I ended up sitting in the back which worked out OK as I had extra space due to an empty seat and sat near some cool people. I've taken tours with two other bus companies in Dublin and was disappointed that Paddywagon had only one individual serving as both driver and guide. The driver/guide was really good but did drive a bit fast as we were working our way back to Dublin. It was a long day but at least I got to see and capture some amazing scenery.

Incredible

Tina_L, Jul 2022

Truly an incredible experience! Would definitely recommend this to all my friends and family! Gorgeous views, tour guide was great. The horse carriage through the park is so worth it. Thanks

Interesting

Andrea_G, Jun 2019

At first everything was ok, Tom was nice and we could understand everything he said, then Paul took the wheel and we struggled to understand his words. Apart from that, it's a lovely place to visit even when it's a 15 hours tour.

Stacey_S, Jun 2018

This was just ok, the tour was larger than expected about 35 people and 9 more joined on the way back, the bus was very crowded. There was a lot of time spent on the bus travelling, I wouldnt book a trip with that much bus time again, it was pretty uncomfortable. Although the bus driver was entertaining enough the experience was a bit generic. The bus driver from Portugal was unexpected and not really appreciated I was hoping for a full Irish experience. The horse drawn carriage through the park in Killarney was the best part! Overall, I wouldnt recommend this tour.

Meeting place was on one street but bus was actually located a block over. Dublin downtown streets are so torn up by construction there are no street signs and getting around driving is a real challenge. We took a taxi about 3/4 mile and was over ten euros just to get there.

Raymond C, Dec 2016

This is a good way of seeing the west of Ireland if you have a limited amount of time in Dublin. Fantastic views near Kilkenny, and especially, of the Dingle Peninsula and Inch Beach. The only negative was the relatively small bus, which became somewhat uncomfortable at the end of 14 hours. Overall, a good value for the cost of the trip.

Jeremy B, Aug 2016

This was a fantastic trip. While much of the west and north of Ireland is rocky and windswept, County Kerry is a beautiful, lush place with wonderful forests, charming towns, and stately manors. This is where you'd want to live if you moved to Ireland. Our first main stop was at Killarney National Park before that we stopped at a rest stop for breakfast, where I had a delicious scone and a pot of tea, where we saw a waterfall and got to explore the forest paths a bit. Then we went to this old manor by a beautiful lake with many gardens and lawns to stroll through. Next was the city of Killarney itself, which was extremely charming, and had many restaurants for lunch, shops for souvenirs, and ice cream places for dessert. After that, we stopped at a very old church, a spot with a great view, and a large beach. It was extremely bizarre to see the Irish in wetsuits on a rainy 50 degree Fahrenheit day surfing, which was fun. Overall, fantastic trip, and the drive in the bus itself was beautiful with great commentary. I'm glad I booked it!

Natalie P, Jul 2016

This tour was a mixed bag--it's a very long day, with several nice stops. We got pretty soaked and clouds obscured the best views, but that's to be expected in Ireland. Unfortunately, our driver/guide got more and more annoying as the day went on and this really colored our experience.

Cynthia W, Sep 2015

Overall, the experience was ok. It rained most of the time, which, is to be expected this time in Ireland, but overall, it was just ok. The guides weren't knowledgable and didn't make the trip worth while-- they were actually pretty boring. You spent a long time on the bus, and makes for a really long day.

Insgesamt war gut, aber i.V. m. meinen 2 anderen gebuchten Tour gab es nicht viel Highlight, aber zeitlich war entspannend, hat man auch genügende Zeit zum Mittag zu gehen.
