Fantastic private tour - The tour was great. Billy was very knowledgeable and provided us with lots of information. We stopped many sights and he drove down to the beach for us. We had a great time. We recommend this tour.

Excellent tour! - Billy was amazing. His knowledge and passion for the area is so deep and sincere, it’s a real treat to spend the afternoon with him and get a genuine sense of the history of the area. His sense of humor keeps it light at the same time. He clearly takes pride in providing a top notch tour. Awesome afternoon!

Dingle Darling - Billy was a fun tour guide, if a bit quieter and more reserved than other tour guides we've had in the past. He was a Dingle guy for sure, and he seemed to know everyone. He gave us lots of great tips, too. I definitely feel a half day tour was the right amount of time- that way we had more time before the tour to walk around the town of Dingle, and when it ended at 6, we went to dinner- at a place he recommended, of course!

Nice tour with local expertise - We really enjoyed our tour of the Dingle Peninsula with Billy. The views of the Peninsula are absolutely incredible and it was relaxing to have a driver on the winding, tight roads. We really enjoyed getting the tour from a lifelong Dingle resident! Billy was very knowledgeable and had many great places for us to stop and see beautiful sights. We learned the history of the area and he shared some local stories. We would recommend this tour! Thanks, Billy!

Safe and helpful driver - not the best tour guide - Billy was a kind and helpful tour guide. However, he was not very dynamic and was a bit difficult to understand (mumbling a bit). He seemed a bit tired and didn’t really connect with us. He seemed hesitant to make recommendations and simply asked “do you want to get out here?” He was a safe and excellent driver and did get us around the peninsula which was very helpful.

Don’t waste your money - The tour guide was a young man from Croatia who had limited English language skills. He basically read from a script occasionally but couldn’t answer even the most basic historic or cultural questions. The young man did the best he could but Paddywagon Tours should be ashamed of the poor service that was provided to tour guests. To add insult to injury, we were dropped off about 15 minutes away from our original meeting point with no explanation. Don’t waste your money with Paddywagon Tours.
