I don’t recommend this particular Paddywagon tour. The bus was late coming from Cork. It was a different coach than expected. The seats were very cramped, you couldn’t see outside of both sides, I had to stand to see the views, there wasn’t WiFi or USB ports as advertised. I couldn’t take pictures from the coach because the seats were so close, all I got were people’s heads, them taking pictures and the advertising at the top of the bus windows. Our driver, Igor, was very concerned about time. He let us off for 2 stops along slea drive and gave us “7-10 minutes to stop, take pictures and make memories”. He’s then honk at us to return. We had no time to enjoy views. I couldn’t enjoy the view of the drive since I was on the opposite side of the bus. The driver also took time to point out a home with a Palestine flag and talked about how expensive things are due to the Ukraine and Russia war. None of that was necessary. It wasn't at all related to the tour, Irish history or anything. It was not necessary. The guide and awful coach just ruined this entire experience. It was the worst tour I’ve ever booked. It was a waste of a day and money.
