- Paddywagon Day Tours - 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.
- King John’s Castle - 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.
- Cliffs of Moher - 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.
- Doolin - 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.
- Wild Atlantic Way - 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.
- Bunratty Castle and Folk Park - 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.
- Paddywagon Tours Cork - We return to Cork after a fun filled day.

Excellent guided tour - Really enjoyed my day trip to the cliffs of Moher in county Clare. The tour also included a stop off at Bunratty as well as Moher. Scenery was spectacular along with the history lesson along the way by the tour guide Kevin. Would highly recommend.

A great experience. - Great trip. Comfortable bus. Tour guide was insightful and prepared. The stops were short when necessary but plenty of time at the most important ones.

Great places, but sour driver - The trip was great, but the driver started the day in a negative way by saying everything that was not allowed in his (!) bus. He smoked right outside the bus at all stops and smoke smell pulled into the bus. He was little engaged and could probably contribute to a better experience.

Great Cliffs tour but long bus ride - The Cliffs were amazing, beautiful, great weather, fun walk. Loved it! The bus ride there and back was long from Cork. I would have preferred to spend more time in limerick and Bunratty on our stops. Limerick was just a stop to pick up more people and we only had 20 minutes in Bunratty to look around. The countryside was lovely. Just understand that this is a long trip to basically see the Cliffs and not much else. The tour guide was ok, he tried to be entertaining.

Not as advertised - The tour description is entirely misleading. It’s a bus ride to the cliffs and that’s about all. No bathrooms on the bus. 5 minute bathroom breaks. We were supposed to have an hour at a time”quaint seaside village for shopping or lunch.” We got 45 minutes at a cafeteria. Would have been better to stay longer at the cliffs and eat at the lovely cafe there. Would have been better to just hire a car.

BAD EXPERIENCE - Bad experience, I will never repeat with this Enterprise. The gia nothing nice, austere in commentary and history, boring and not cordial.
The itinerary didn't match what we hired.
I don't recommend it.
