- 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.

Lovely tour! - Kevin was absolutely brilliant and great craic. We learned a lot and felt very welcomed. We were aiming solely for the cliffs but found so much beauty along the way - it couldn't have been better. Would definitely recommend it to those who want to go sightseeing and spend a day out without it being too overwhelming.

Well worth it! - Kevin was a great tour guide. Oh, the sites. Good history, beautiful scenery. Great way to see some of Ireland. The cliffs and barren were fantastic. Weather was cloudy but not raining. This could interfere with the views if foggy. Take the tour. Those tight roads could be nerve wracking with all the busses. Great food at the lunch stop too

Beautiful and majestic - Beautiful. So peaceful even on a slightly rainy day. Heard weather can be a factor but it was great while we were there. Went on a tour bus. Roads are tricky if driving

Such a wonderful experience ! - This was such an amazing experience! Our driver Paul was friendly, funny and very knowledgable and we felt so safe navigating all the winding roads with him. The Cliffs of Moher was spectacular, and the day was absolutely 10/10!

Bucket List-Cliffs of Moher…..Check! - Prepare for a long day and lots of driving time. However, if you get the driver named Paul, he will make your day enjoyable.

Breathtaking Cliffs - Ziko was an excellent tour guide who was very understanding and understanding. I appreciated the extra time on the cliffs. It would have been nice to have heat on the bus and access to charging stations on the bus.

Great driver, stunning cliffs, good daytrip - I think this trip does exactly what it says on the can - it gives you a chance to visit some fantastic scenery if you're based in Cork and have no car. Other reviewers have criticised the length of time at various stops, but short of relocating the cliffs to nearer Cork(!) - you're always going to be confined by geography and driving times. Our driver Michael was really good, very comical and typically Irish, lots of anecdotes en route. Be aware that yhe pick up point is actually around the corner from the Paddywagon office by the bridge, I nearly missed it!
