Good trip for Inverrary castle and Scottish highlands - Lee our tour guide was funny and very well versed on the history of the area that we visited. The weather was cloudy and cold but we were lucky to not have much rain. This tour is specially designed for cruise passengers docked at Greenock Scotland and is close to Glasgow. It took about 8 hours and there’s only a couple of main and winding roads. The driver Paul was excellent also. I would not recommend this trip for anyone that needs assistance with walking.

Wonderful Dublin & Glendalough Tour for Cruise Passengers - Perfect Blend of Nature and City Exploration! - We had an amazing experience on the Dublin Highlights and Glendalough tour! The stop at Glendalough was absolutely stunning. The serene beauty of the area, coupled with the rich history, made for a truly memorable visit. We appreciated having plenty of time to walk around, explore the ancient monastic site, and take in the breathtaking scenery. The Dublin portion of the tour was equally enjoyable. We had ample time to enjoy a delicious meal and explore the vibrant city, visiting some of its iconic landmarks and soaking in the lively atmosphere. Overall, the tour was well-paced, allowing us to fully enjoy both the natural beauty of Glendalough and the cultural highlights of Dublin. It was a perfect day! We were cruise passengers who booked the tour independently from the ship. The pick-up and drop-off were seamless. The company made everything easy and stress-free.

Descent - It was a good tour however, the driver talked too much about himself as opposed to the sites. I would’ve appreciated more descriptive historical information. I would’ve preferred a bus, however. The small group was not friendly.

Shorter than expected. - Enjoyed the trip to Glendalough, but would have like to stay longer at the City center since the tour concluded 6 hours instead of 8 hours.

Private Dublin Tour Paddywagon Tours. - I thought this tour included a person who would drive us and be our guide around Dublin the driver drove us to the first place and dropped us off he did not go with us we just walked around a lake for an hour then he drove us to Dublin explaining parts of the city but we only had a couple of hours time there by the time we ate lunch it was about time to meet him. I would think you would do just as well on a hop on hop off bus so cannot recommend this tour.

Still waiting for a refund! - We signed up for a small group tour and ended up on a huge bus with a promise of a refund of the difference. Apparently our small group driver didn't show up! Well it is August and we have yet to hear back from Elegant Irish Tours after three emails. Very disappointing!

Non-Tour: Not A Good Experience - We were charged for a tour that never occurred. In Dun Laoghaire (Dublin), you need to take a tender to get to shore (port). We were ready to disembark the ship, however the Pilot/Princess Cruise Line determined at the last minute that nobody would leave or board the ship due to safety reasons (strong currents/high waves). While Princess Cruise Line fully reimbursed the passengers who had booked tours through them, Paddywagon Tours (provider) or Viator would not provide any refund (partial or full) or a credit even after multiple interactions with them. Paddywagon Tours keep all our money, while wanting us to bill our insurance company which is not fair. Viator did nothing. Bottom Line: Don’t use Paddywagon Tours or Viator for any excursions at Dublin if you are on a cruise (Dun Laoghaire port). Book an excursion through the cruise line or make sure you have travel insurance.
