Dont think so I have to say that I was on the six day south with Paddywagon and I cannot agree with anything you have to say. I understand each have their own experiences..The group that I was with was great. 12 girls and 10 lads. We all got on great but the tour guide was an embarressment. He drank too much each night and we all felt extremely unsafe getting on the bus the next morning. At one stage a few people actually wanted to get off the tour because the driver was staying up most of the night and driving at 9 the next morning. Some might think this is great crack as they say but in my opinion this is extremely dangerous. It seemed that the driver and not just ours because we met other tour guides in the randy leprachaun and killarney who were by all accounts equally as dangerous! What responsible company would allow their drivers to drink copious amounts of drink and drive for sometimes 8 hours the next day??
I cannot recommend this company for anything.
6 of us on the bus put complaints into the irish tourist board and are awaiting feedback. This should not be allowed for anyone. We were on our holidays and trying to enjoy ourselves. God knows, it cost us enough to go to Ireland and then have this. Another thing I would like to point out is some of the hostels we stayed in were extremely dirty.

nice write-up I'm planning a trip to jamaica and your journal popped up in a google search. Very entertaining and I think it gives me a pretty good feel for what to expect.
Sorry about the americans, though. I'm an from the US and I hate that people see us that way, but as a group, we probably deserve it.
awesome post Awesome post mate.
Really captures a lot of the detail and experience. Found your article when I was looking up some facts I had forgoten, which I wanted to include in my article. Not going to bother now, because I know where to find yours! - Elias Bizannes
6 day All-Ireland tour: interesting journal + I'll try to match it!!! Dear Matt,
it has been very interesting reading your travel journal of your 6 day-tour in Ireland. I've also found it very useful because I am going on the same tour in June. Now I have got a better idea of what it is going to be like and I am very excited. Also you have inspired me: I have decided to write a diary too. I am going to take a copy of yours, so that I can compare and have fun writing. I would love to send a copy.
Have fun with your travelling and I hope to hear from you. This is my email adress: l_marchionni@hotmail.com.
Take care,

Around the year 2000, I discovered I had been stuck in a rutt. I was living the same day over and over again. At the time, it didn't occur to me that I was doing it from the comfort of one of the most beautiful cities in the world, but I knew I needed to get out. The opportunity came up for me to accept a job in London, which I did, in August 2001. My parents offered to send me on a round the world trip instead but I was convinced moving to London was the best thing for me.
When I arrived was then when I caught the travel bug and discovered that, with each new country I visited, came a seem... full info
