Highly, highly disappointed. We did the Blarney, Cobh and Kinsale.
We didn’t have a guide all he said was don’t eat on the bus come back to the parking lot at 12 when we arrived at Larney. This is a tour. This is a bus to take you places and you can get a lot cheaper if you just do it yourself. How is this tour still around and how do they employee people that aren’t Irish can hardly understand them, and they don’t talk at all on the bus they’re not giving you any type of information regarding where you’re going.
All of us on the bus, we were thinking the same thing we thought he would be telling us some things about Barney Castle before we get there no nothing at all .

First, the plusses. Blarney Castle and grounds are amazing and easily worth more than the allotted three hours. Kinsale is also a beautiful coastal town. Now the less positive. When arrived at pick up location the person at the Paddywagon Tours office just gave a general gesture of where we should be picked up and the communication was not clear at all. It would have been easy to miss the bus, which another couple did, after waiting for more than an hour at what they believed to be the designated pick up spot. We only know this because we overheard them at Blarney Castle trying to find someone who could help them find our group. We connected them with our driver, but the tour was overbooked and they were not able to join us for the rest of the tour. They were refunded but were leaving the next day and the woman was left in tears. Not great. In terms of Kinsale, beautiful town but with just 45 minutes to explore it, including lunch, and no pre-arranged food it was pretty rushed. Same was true of Cobh. By the time we arrived, anyone wanting to experience the Titanic museum had just 30 minutes before it closed. Guide and driver were good, just overall logistics and planning were not. Recommendation would be to arrive early make a day of it at Blarney Castle - skip the rest or plan a separate, less rushed time to visit Kinsale and Cobh.
