Amazing Tour of Ring of Kerry - We chose this tour because I didn't want to drive the Ring of Kerry myself. I wanted to be able to relax and enjoy the views. This trip was amazing! Our driver Kevin was full of great history and stories. The stops were fantastic and plentiful. Kevin recommendations were spot on and the people we met were always the friendliest everywhere. Highly recommend Kevin and Paddywagon Tours!

A Magical Day in Ireland - I had a fantastic time on this day trip during my 3-day stay in Cork! It truly gave me a deeper glimpse into the beauty of Ireland. The landscapes were breathtaking, and the entire experience was made even better by our amazing tour guide, Kevin. He was not only friendly but also incredibly knowledgeable, sharing fascinating insights that really enhanced the trip.

Long with lots od stops - Lots of stops. Dingle is far prettier. The driver the best ever!!! Doesn’t put up with people being late or moving seats around. When he says we leave at 12:15 pm - we leave. !!!! Not waiting around for people who think they are entitled to keave on their schedule and hold the rest of the group up !!!

loud speakers in the bus - The speakers in the bus were very loud. The guide tried to keep the trip entertaining by speaking nonstop unnecessarily.

Ring of Kerry - Noah was an excellent guide, however I would recommend longer at certain stops
IE, the waterfall, and Sneem.
Take a packed lunch, as the food is very average at the lunch location.

Good experience but... - Good experience but there are stops with the only sense of raising money and the important thing does not stop at length

Disappointing Experience – Would Not Recommend - I took the Ring of Kerry tour from Cork on August 24th, 2025, and unfortunately it was a very disappointing experience. The driver-guide was a Croatian man whose English was almost impossible to understand. On top of that, he would rudely silence people if they talked while he was speaking – but what he had to say was mostly clichés and uninteresting remarks. It felt more annoying than informative. We would have much preferred an Irish guide who could have given us genuine insights into Irish culture and history, rather than someone who only repeated stereotypical notions.
The day dragged on because we spent far too much time stuck on a crowded bus and far too little time at the actual stops. For example, in Killarney we were given only one hour, but the walk from the selected parking spot to St. Mary’s Cathedral takes about 20 minutes each way. That left almost no time to see anything. We only managed to step inside another church briefly, rush through the gardens at Killarney House, and glimpse the cathedral from outside before having to run back. No chance to use the restroom, buy a souvenir, or even grab a coffee. To make matters worse, once everyone had rushed back to the meeting point, the bus still waited another 15 minutes for other passengers in the town center – instead of at the agreed meeting point 13 minutes away – effectively wasting nearly half an hour of our already short stop.
We didn’t even stop in Killorglin – just drove through. Later, there was a 20-minute stop at a pub and the Kerry Bog Village Museum, which was not included in the tour and cost €7 extra per person.
Overall, the tour felt rushed, poorly organized, and not worth the time or money. Too much sitting on the bus, too little time to actually enjoy the beautiful places along the Ring of Kerry.
