“Our Ring of Kerry trip was not a very weather cooperative day so we missed most photo ops & it was raining so hard, we didn’t see much out the window either unfortunately. Kevin, our guide, was absolutely the best however We caught our bus in Killarney and didn’t know most folks boarded in Limerick. The bus had only a few seats left when we boarded. A party of 3 who boarded wi/us was allowed to sit together. We weren’t given that opportunity and were a bit bummed. Next time I know to look for a tour that originates where I am at. We sat on the aisle seats &…”

“Our guide was knowledgeable and I felt like I saw the Ring of Kerry, which is why I’m giving two stars instead of one. The actual experience was incredible disappointing. I was traveling to Dublin after the tour and emailed Paddywagon ahead of time to see whether I should bring my luggage or if I should figure out a storage option.

We switched buses twice, so that we took three different buses throughout the day, so I ended up carrying all of my luggage for 1.5 hours at the first stop while we waited…”

The guide was thoughtful, knowledgeable, and also had suggestions for other things to do in the area which we took him up on and it was a great experience for the entire day. I am so glad we did this, and I was so glad we did it earlier in the day to get recommendations for the rest of the day and places to go in the park! Our horse was Molly. and she was such a sweet well behaved horse! Thank…”
