At Cliffs me and daughter were attempting to get back on bus to get out of wind and cold and driver, Brian would not let us get back on until 20 minutes

I highly recommend this tour!! You get to see a lot of incredible spots in a day. The highlight was our tour guide, Kevin, though. He shared so much information about the history and the sights we were seeing, along our way. In true Irish form, Kevin was so helpful in giving advice and helping me arrange something special the next day. Thank you, Kevin!

Loved this tour. The guides were fantastic and all the sights were amazing. I enjoyed all of it. It was the best way to see so many sights in a short time period.

This was an outstanding tour! The guide, Paul, was very knowledgeable about the history and each site. I will do this tour again when the weather isn't as cold. Beautiful sites!

Our tour guide was so friendly and had so much history to tell us. Loved the museum and restaurants. The waterfall at the end was roaring with water and was so beautiful.

Joe, our driver and guide, made the trip memorable with plenty of history and humor. The sites were worth visiting and you get to see quite a bit of the countryside.

Today Dec 19th we were treated to our guide/driver Kevin. He was an absolute rockstar driver and guide that was knowledgeable and invested in our adventure. As it was the winter season, Kevin made sure to allow us to see spectacular sights that are normally difficult to visit in the busy season. The skies opened up for us today making our adventure memorable. Thank you Paddy Wagon for an unforgettable day.

Considering how it had begun, our day turned out to be one of the most memorable we have ever experienced. When our taxi, pre-booked by our hotel, didn't arrive the Paddywagon staff in the office and Kevin our driver very kindly waited for us. With help from the staff in the Address Hotel we thankfully made it to the coach just a few minutes after it had been due to depart!
The Paddywagon was extremely comfortable with Kevin sharing his knowledge of and enthusiasm for the Ring of Kerry area in such an engaging manner. He regaled us with stories and interesting information as we went along. Thanks to the surprisingly perfect weather conditions the scenery, which we had the opportunity to photograph during our several stops, was absolutely stunning.
Coming towards the end of the trip we were treated to a few 'jaunty' tunes the highlights being 'The Chicken Song' and 'Have you seen the Paddywagon?!' A huge thank you to the office staff and Kevin in particular for giving us a day we will never forget!

**Paddy Wagon Tours – Ring of Kerry Tour Review**
I cannot recommend Paddy Wagon Tours enough for their incredible Ring of Kerry tour! Our guide, Kevin, was nothing short of extraordinary. From start to finish, he made the experience fun, engaging, and truly unforgettable.
Kevin’s knowledge of the history and culture of the areas we toured was remarkable. He shared fascinating stories and insights that brought the stunning landscapes to life. His enthusiasm was contagious, and his humor kept the group entertained throughout the day.
Beyond his expertise, Kevin went above and beyond to ensure everyone in the group had a great time. His energy, professionalism, and genuine passion for what he does are unmatched.
If I could, I would request Kevin as my tour guide for every single tour I take for the rest of my life. He truly set a new standard for what a guided tour can be. Thank you, Kevin, and thank you, Paddy Wagon Tours, for an incredible experience! I can’t wait to book my next adventure with you.
