Highlights
- 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.

Awesome View - The view of Cliffs of Moher was to great to see. Since it was the highlight of the day and it was raining and windy, I wished I can I have little more time to experience both sides of it and have time to explore the gift shop little more.

Not as advertised. Burren is not included but still on itinerary. - Tour of cliffs of moher was great but we did not have a tour of Limerick, we just stopped to pick passengers up and we did not at all go to see the Wild Atlantic Way part of the tour that was supposed to include The Burren area. That part was not included at all! We stopped at “The Frantic Chef “restaurant and that was very good, clean and very friendly and helpful.
Paddywagon Tours needs to update their advertising as this is misleading and very disappointing .

Great scenery, just okay guide - The beauty and views of the cliffs and the countryside from the top of the cliffs was magnificient. Our tour guide was efficient and a good driver, but he was not warm or friendly and had no sense of humor.

Not as Advertised - Unfortunately, this wasn't the trip that was advertised. I'm not sure if that's the fault of Viator or Paddy Wagon Tours, but this trip was only to the Cliffs of Moher and back with a quick stop at Bunratty Castle. Don't get me wrong, the Cliffs of Moher were amazing, however we were not allowed off in Limerick to take any pictures of St. John's Castle, we did not do the 1 hour stop in Doolin, we did not see Galway Bay or any of the Wild Atlantic Way which was very, very disappointing. The only positive thing was that it wasn't foggy or raining at the Cliffs of Moher so views were spectacular that day. If you want to see some of the Wild Atlantic Way it's best to get yourself to Galway.
