FAQs about Paddywagon Tours
What is the cancellation policy?
For standard day tours, you can cancel and receive a full refund up to 24 hours before departure. For multi-day and overnight tours, 72 hours’ notice is required for a free cancellation.
Are the tours suitable for children or seniors?
Paddywagon tours are popular with all age groups, particularly independent travelers over 18. However, they are generally not recommended for very young children or individuals with significantly impaired mobility due to the long duration of the bus rides and walking involved at attractions.
What should I bring on a day tour?
Irish weather is unpredictable! It is highly recommended to bring a waterproof jacket, comfortable walking shoes, and a bottle of water. While buses stop for lunch in traditional villages, you may also want to bring light snacks for the longer journeys.
