What people are saying about Galway

Traveling with Paddywagon tours was a very good experience. The pick up was on time and we departed as planned. The bus driver/guide explained very well how the trip was going to go and what to expect. He was funny and interesting, and the places he told us about were amazing. His stories were very interesting and I learned a lot about Irish culture, language and history that I didn't know before. Overall feeling of the trip was positive and I felt very secure riding the bus even in heavy rain.

Easy to book, took the ferry from Rossaveel. Can be expensive for the ferry as only a short journey . Then with bike hire on top too . Definitely hire bikes though once on the island to cycle it, it’s truly beautiful. The electric bikes are great unless your super fit . Locals are friendly, aswell as the cows , horses & donkeys your see around the island. Oh & the seals. It’s a must do trip when in Ireland.

We had a really great time. It is a long day and you spend a lot of time on the bus, but it was absolutely worth it. Our tour guide, JJ, was fantastic! He is very funny and very knowledgeable, he made the long hours on the bus quite enjoyable

Nice ferry ride over. Rented bicycles at the pier and biked all over. We went to the Fort ruins…Dun Aonghasa and the “Wormhole”. Saw some seals in the water. Weather was wonderful as well. Highly recommend this trip.

I had seen the other 2 island and was anxious to see Inishmore, enjoyed it totally with our tour guide, am not disappointed for my fifth time in Ireland
