    1 Star Quick review of Paddywagon by johnymac 19/09/2007
    We chose them for a 3 day northern Ireland trip. BB&B were poor quality but nice people. Guide was good but foul language might bother some people. They forgot to pick us up on our return trip to Dublin and we wasted most of the day waiting until we finally caught a public bus. No apology was ever made and they areall but impossible to deal with. Never again with this company.

    1 Star Quick review of Paddywagon by londonkaht 04/03/2008
    DON'T BOOK A PADDYWAGON TOUR! The hostels were disgusting and dilapidated, way beyond normal backpacker standards. The staff were incompetent and one was even verbally abusive to me. Ireland is great, we loved the country. However there wasn't one satisfied travel in our group of nearly 30. I am currently seeking legal advice for a refund.

    I have just returned from a Paddywagon 6 day North and South tour. I love Ireland so it was nice to be there again but the Paddywagon Hostels are very grubby with not enough showers and bathrooms, the guide wasn't good and one morning we were waitng for 45 minutes in the freezing cold at the bus as he had overslept and he made no apology when he did arrive. He was also very prejudiced against the English which didn't make me feel very comfortable. We made the most of it though and had a good laugh but I do think that the hostels need to be tidied up a bit. Ireland itself is beautiful and on ... more
