Breath taking views!
We had a fantastic time with both Michael on the first leg of the tour from Dublin to Galway and then Ian on days two and three. We were so fortunate with the weather that we were able to take a cruise to view the Cliffs of Moher from the sea and also from on top of the cliffs. We spent the second night in the quaint little village of Annascaul where locals at a pub made us feel so welcomed. Day 3 was long and spectacular as we spent the better part of the morning touring the Dingle Peninsula and getting to spend time dipping our feet at Coumeenoole beach followed by lunch in Dingle. Although pressed for time, Ian got us to see a bit of Killarney, Torc Waterfall, Muckross Abbey and Ross Castle before our return to Dublin. We would highly recommend this tour, especially in the summer.

Paddywagon for the Win!
We had an amazing time on our 3 day Southern Ireland Tour! We started on the first day with our excellent driver Mick who was informative, quick with a joke, and handled our family of 30 with ease. On our second and third day, our driver Ruairi kept us entertained and got us safely to all our destinations... ( and that was not a small feat!). His parking ability with that big bus is amazing! Our stop in Anascaul where we ate and hung out in a fun Pub was one of the highlights of our trip. I would 100% recommend Paddywagon tours. We got to experience so many of the beautiful sights in a short amount of time.

Pretty awesome but could be better
I first wanna preface this by saying that we really really enjoyed the tour. It allowed us to see Ireland without having to deal with renting a car. But it wasn’t perfect. Only 2 breakfasts are included. I was expecting one on the first day but there wasn’t anything, so definitely eat before getting on the bus. The driver is also the guide which is fine except my guide didn’t do a whole lot of explaining the last two days. My driver also seemed to have an attitude towards the end of the trip. He especially didn’t like this Australian man that was on the tour and wasn’t very nice towards him. We all joked about it though so it added a bit of entertainment. Sometimes they change the itinerary without any notice or just don’t fully stick to it, but it didn’t really feel like we were missing out on anything. My guide took us to a castle which wasn’t part of the plans which was awesome. But then he also rushed through Killarney national park which I would have liked some more time at. Overall it was an awesome experience and I would do it again.

Horrible!!!
HORRIBLE!!! I would NOT recommend taking this tour!!! Or any Paddywagon tour. I paid a very high price for this tour and it’s the only tour (traveled for a month) that I couldn’t wait to be over. IT WAS THE WORST TOUR!!! Paddywagon changed the places this tour went to and never told anyone on the tour. The first night we stayed in a filthy hotel, miles away from town. (About 20 minutes (by car) from town.) The second night we stayed in a hotel in a town we weren’t supposed to stay in. We were supposed to stay in the Dingle Peninsula. We did not even go into the Dingle Peninsula. We stopped for lunch on the first day and spent hours at the lunch stop. HOURS. The tour bus was a sprinter that wasn’t big enough for the tourists. There were no windows in the sprinter. We weren’t allowed to ask questions about what we saw. I asked why everything was named after the same person and who the person was. I was told by the tour guide it was named that cuz it was. Someone asked for the significance of Kearney national park. She was told it was significant b/c it’s a national park. We were given no information about what time we’d start “touring” in the morning. I sat in the lobby for hours on the second day, waiting for the sprinter to show up.

Only got a driver
I was expecting a tour guide as well as a driver all in one. I felt we only got a driver, very little commentary on where we were what it is we were passing through and any local knowledge. Only commentary was his opinion that the great famine did not exist. The second driver/ courier was better but still not great. Not everyone wants to Google things, I was after the Irish experience. The uniform s where old and scarfie . Again very little commentary, there was no local Irish bands playing at B&B witch was disappointing as we were a small coach. No limericks as we pass through limerick. Etc. The bus front window had bird muck on it making photo difficult . The accommodate was nice, plenty of time at stops, courty side lovely. Pickup spots was confusing as I had to walk passed one to get to the other one. The pic of 5 Beresford place was misleading as there is know Paddywagon sign or officeHostel as mentioned in email.

Why this scores 55
The Outty Ranking is a weighted composite. Here is how this experience performed on each component.
3-Day Southern Ireland Tour Including Galway and Kerry from Dublin: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Dublin.
How much does 3-Day Southern Ireland Tour Including Galway and Kerry from Dublin cost?
+
Prices start at $461 per person. The final price depends on the date, the time slot and the number of travelers, and peak weekends in Dublin usually price higher than midweek mornings. Live pricing and remaining availability are confirmed on the booking screen before you pay.
How long does 3-Day Southern Ireland Tour Including Galway and Kerry from Dublin take?
+
Plan for about 72 hours from start to finish, not counting travel to the meeting point. Most travelers leave another 30 minutes on either side so the rest of the day in Dublin is not rushed.
Is 3-Day Southern Ireland Tour Including Galway and Kerry from Dublin worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 55 out of 100, which we label "Worth a Look". That score blends traveler sentiment (4.3/5 across 124 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable outdoors in Dublin, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.
Can I cancel or reschedule 3-Day Southern Ireland Tour Including Galway and Kerry from Dublin?
+
No. This experience is sold on a non-refundable basis, so only book a date you are confident about. Similar experiences in the city do offer free cancellation if flexibility matters more than price.
Is 3-Day Southern Ireland Tour Including Galway and Kerry from Dublin suitable for kids and families?
+
Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 72-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.
How far in advance should I book 3-Day Southern Ireland Tour Including Galway and Kerry from Dublin?
+
Around 43 people booked this in the last 30 days, so popular slots go early. Two to three weeks ahead is comfortable in shoulder season, while summer weekends and holidays in Dublin can sell out a month out. Same-day spots do open up when other travelers cancel, so it is worth checking if you are already in town.
What should I bring or wear?
+
Bring photo ID, your booking confirmation on your phone, a refillable water bottle and comfortable shoes. Dress for the weather in Dublin and add a light layer if any part of the 72-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does 3-Day Southern Ireland Tour Including Galway and Kerry from Dublin start and how do I get there?
+
The exact meeting point and directions are on your voucher once you book, and they sit in central Dublin within reach of public transport. Arrive 15 minutes early: late arrivals are treated as no-shows by most operators.
What are the best things to do in Dublin?
+
On Outty we rank every Dublin experience on the same 0 to 100 scale, and alongside this one the highest scorers right now include Dublin to Cliffs of Moher, including Wild Atlantic Way and Galway, Dublin Highlights and Hidden Gems Guided Walking Tour, The Little Museum of Dublin Famous Guided Tour. The city page groups everything into most popular, highest reviewed, last minute and family-friendly so you can build a day around what actually delivers.
When is the best time to visit Dublin?
+
Booking patterns follow the same curve: prices and queues climb in peak weeks, while shoulder season gives you better availability on the top-ranked experiences and more room to change plans.
How many days do you need in Dublin?
+
Three full days covers the headline sights without sprinting. A workable rhythm is one anchor experience each morning, such as this one, an unhurried afternoon in a single neighborhood, then a food or nightlife booking in the evening. Five days lets you add a day trip outside the city.
Do I book through Outty or through the operator?
+
Outty ranks and explains the experiences, then hands you to Viator to complete the booking with the operator directly. The price is the same as booking on Viator yourself, and Outty earns an affiliate commission on the referral, which is how the rankings stay free to read.
