Hi friends,
I'm now considering cancelling my 3 day tour with Paddywagon as I found
Wild Wicklow tours of Glendalough and Wild Rover tours which do Cliffs of Moher.
I would still like to do a day tour of Dingle from Dublin but it is a long day.
Of the three destinations, which are your top two destinations? Cliffs of Moher and Galway or Dingle and Kerry?

What do you like? There are plenty of YouTube videos that can give you an idea of what is it each. We were on a RS tour recently and stayed in Dingle but did not go to Galway or Ring of Kerry. The Cliffs were very cool.
We did a Wild Rover one day tour after our RS tour and really liked it.

How much time do you have in Ireland?
Rabbie’s has a nice selection of tours that leave from Dublin.

I’m signed up for the 3-day Dingle, Killarney & the Wild Atlantic Way tour.
I don’t think you can go wrong with any of the options you mentioned. As SA mentioned, watching some you tube videos might give you an idea of which you’ll prefer.

I just came back from Ireland 2 weeks ago. Stayed 3 nights in Galway and did a tour with Wild Rover. I would voted for the Cliff/Galway tour. Two very different sights. I don’t have an opinion of Dingle or Kerry tour

Just an FYI , we did the Wild Wicklow Tour in 2019 and although I enjoyed it overall, the first hour plus of the tour was spent driving around the Dublin area picking up tour members.

Thank you all for your thoughts. We booked two day trips in Wild Rover since it was suggested by another poster. One day to Galway and Cliffs and another day to Wicklow mtns and Glendalough. One day we are going to a trad music festival in Drogheda. Unfortunately we couldn’t make the Rabbies tour dates work. When we join our small ship cruise we’ll also have a day in Bantry Bay and one in Waterford.
I’m sure I’m going to be back to Ireland as there is too much to experience in one week.
Thank you all for sharing your insights!!!

I am in Ireland now. Did not do cliffs of Moher. Did stay in Doolin and walked along the cliffs towards Moher. As described by someone in a pub who had gone to cliffs of Moher, it was horrendous. 30 tour busses. Lines of cars trying to get out of the parking area. To get out. Not my cup of tea.
We did go to the Kilkee cliffs. No parking problems. No tour busses. A nice paved path heading up along the cliffs with great views all around.
