Paddywagon Tours · Dublin hotels listed at booking
A Mercedes van day for up to 25 people with hotel pickup, two hours at Bunratty Castle and Folk Park, a stop in Liscannor and 90 minutes at the Cliffs of Moher. Pick it for the small group and the castle, and read the cancellation reviews first.
This is the gentlest start of the Dublin day trips: 8:30 AM at The Merrion Hotel, or pickup from one of the hotels listed in the booking options. The group tops out at 25 in an air-conditioned Mercedes van with WiFi, which guests like for getting in and out of stops quickly.
The day is weighted towards Bunratty. You get two hours at Bunratty Castle and Folk Park with admission included, then 45 minutes in the village of Liscannor and 90 minutes at the Cliffs of Moher, also with admission included. Lunch is not in the price, and one guest found that the Liscannor stop did not offer the choice of places they expected.
Two things to know. The price is per seat with no reductions for children, students or seniors, and the minimum age is 6. And the operator can cancel when too few people book: in our sample of reviews, several guests describe a last-minute cancellation. If your schedule has no slack, a big-coach day is the safer bet.
The Merrion Hotel on Merrion Street Upper, or your hotel if it is listed in the options.
Inside the castle, then the reconstructed village of the folk park.
A coastal village stop south of the cliffs; lunch at your own cost.
Visitor centre, paths and viewpoints, admission included.
The tour ends back at the meeting point.
★★★★★This tour was great! [...] We loved the stop at the castle and the history learned. Our tour guide, Jimmy, was amazing. He's full of facts and fun conversations.
★★★★★Small group experience appreciated. More mobility in and out of locations. The castle and cliffs are worth seeing.
★★★★★Michael was a great guide! Really enjoyed seeing Bunratty and the Cliffs of Moher [...] Also, the company was a great help in locating my sister's purse after she left it on the bus!
