2-Day Wild Atlantic Way Tour From Dublin

Starting with the positive - the tour itself, the stops and scenery are gorgeous! However, there was a lot of dosorganization and confusion. At the initial stop, we were told to hop on a bus to the Cliffs, which we quickly realized was doing a one day tour, instead of 2-day trip which we signed up for. Its itinerary was also different than it was stated in our booking. Our driver seemed confused that we were advised to get on the said bus. He resolved the issue and we got on another bus later in the day, but it was quite stressful and the whole issue could be avoided if they double checked the destinations or name lists. After that though the trip with our second driver, Stephen, was lovely and made up for the trouble.

Terrible! FALSE ADVERTISING! We were supposed to stay overnight on the Dingle peninsula and stayed in Killarney instead. Our Bed and Breakfast accommodation in Killarney was HORRIBLE! They housed 9 guests in a CLOSED TO CUSTOMERS Bed and breakfast that was being used as a housing facility for refugees. Not a problem but not what we signed up for and our room smelled of urine and our towels and bedding were stained. We never received dinner and the breakfast was terrible. Our driver was terrible who seldom told us anything about the countryside and often yelled at us when we complained that ‘this isn’t part of the tour’. We felt we were being held captive with the inability to question where we were going. DON’T TAKE THIS TOUR! Worst experience of our lives!! BEWARE!

THE WORST EVER EXPERIENCE WITH A RACIST DRIVER The Paddywagon 2-day Wild Atlantic Way tour was the worst experience I have ever had, primarily due to the driver, Tom. Here are the main issues that future travelers should be aware of: 1. Racist Driver: After our visit to the Cliffs of Moher, we were a bit late rejoining the bus. Shockingly, the driver, Tom, made a racist comment over the microphone, blaming our lateness on "two Chinese" people. Firstly, we are not Chinese, and even if we were, such a comment is highly inappropriate. Judging people based on their appearance, race, or nationality is unacceptable, especially for someone working in a field that involves dealing with international travelers. Everyone on the bus heard this remark, and it was humiliating. We were not the only ones late; others, including the driver himself at times, were late as well. Yet, no one else was publicly humiliated as we were. 2. Disregard for the Itinerary and Poor Communication: The driver did not respect the given itinerary and failed to inform us of any changes. When I inquired about the schedule, the driver dismissively pushed away my phone and said, "Whatever is written there, we are not going to Doolin," and refused to answer any of my questions. This lack of communication caused significant confusion as we were left in the dark about our next destinations. Overall, I would strongly advise against taking this tour. It was a deeply unpleasant experience marred by racism and poor management. I hope this review helps others avoid a similar experience.
