• 4Good overview tour, with a lot of driving

  There is a lot of driving on the tour, but it is a good way to see a lot of the country side. We thought about renting a car and driving ourselves, but glad we didn't, the roads are very narrow and looked a little difficult to drive, especially being from the US and having to drive on the other side of the road. Bus driver gave a lot of information during the drive which was nice. If you take the tour be sure to always be on time to the bus. He warns you all through out that if you are late he can't wait, and it is true, he will leave without you.

• 3Tour is way too long!

  This was a nice tour but WAY too long. I was crawling out of my skin near the end of it. It was torture being on that bus so long! Make the tour shorter. We didn’t need to see miles and miles of rocky coast. 11 hours!

• 5We really enjoyed the...

  We really enjoyed the tour! It is a long day and a lot of time spent on the bus but I didn’t have different expectations. The stop at the Cliffs was perfect and they brought us to a restaurant (The Frantic Chef) afterwards which was delicious! Overall the tour was exactly what we were looking for.

• 2Rude, terrifying driver!

  The Cliffs oh Moyer were so spectacular. The weather cleared a bit twice during our visit to allow us a good view. Keep in mind it’s quite a very long day. We would recommend staying somewhere closer and not take the 7 hour bus ride. What made the trip even more difficult was our TERRIBLE tour lead DJ. He is for sure the rudest tour “guide” I’ve ever encountered. He was very abrasive, less than helpful and it felt as though he was angry with his job! He also was a very terrifying driver! He “ hard breaking” all day making the journey quite bad and we worried we would be in an accident!, Please check your driver before going and if it’s DJ, run fast and find another provider other than Paddy Wagon.

About Cork

Cork is Ireland's second city, a river town of steep lanes, a covered market, church bells and a strong food reputation.

Cork centres on an island in the River Lee, with channels of water, bridges and a mix of Georgian streets and Victorian shopfronts. The English Market, a covered food hall that dates to 1788, sells fish, cheese, spiced beef and baked goods. St Anne's Shandon has a tower topped by a golden salmon, and visitors can ring its bells. St Fin Barre's Cathedral rises in the French Gothic style.
