OUR GALLANT ALLIES
Since our inception in 1998 Paddywagon has developed strong and cherished bonds with marvellous similar tour companies throughout the world.
In Ireland we have a phrase that there is no such thing as a stranger, a stranger is simply a friend we have not yet met……
We proudly introduce you to our friends in the exciting world of international youth and independent travel!
SCOTLAND
MacBackpackers are Bonnie Scotlands finest tour company. They also run a fine network of hostels in the cities and highlands of our beautiful Celtic sister-land.
Ireland and Scotland share a similar culture, Celtic and Gaelic. Our societies place strong importance on clan (family) and we share an almost common language (Gaelic).
Over the years we have been on many adventures together with Peter McMullan and the lads and lassies of MacBacpackers. From Bruges 2000 (hostels of Europe conference) to Bangkok 2003 (WYSTC, World Youth & Student Travel Conference) and many destinations in between!
Several times a year we pay courtesy visits to our Scottish brothers and sisters in their Edinburgh stronghold, we strongly recommend you consider doing the same!
CANADA
Travelling to Canada eh? Check out the brilliant adventures offered by our good friends at Moose Travel in both Western and Eastern Canada. Maybe stay a few nights at the cool city hostels and mountain ski lodges operated by Samesun Backpackers…
Paddywagon makes several visits to glorious Canada each year to learn from and enhance our links with these fine Canadian Tour companies, and in November we all head together for the warmer climes of Australia to participate and party at the Sydney Backpackers expo.
The highlight of our companies friendship to date was in February 2004, when our fine pub the Randy Leprechaun was twinned officially and gloriously with Samesun Backpackers’ wonderful new pub/restaurant – ‘The Beaver’, smack bang in Granville street in downtown Vancouver! See you there…
TURKEY
Fez Travel run an amazing operation in this amazing country, operating out of historic Istanbul, running tours the length and breadth of this vast charming land.
We’ve shared many good times with Ekrem, Travis and the great team at Fez. Sharing ideas and laughs at Auckland backpackers expo in 2004 and each year at the London ITW (Independent travellers world expo).
Finally this year Paddywagon managed to send a delegation down to this sunshine paradise, where we exchanged flags, kebabs and were extended amazing hospitality by our Turkish brothers and sisters. Check out their amazing hospitality for yourselves, its legendary!
AUSTRALIA
Advance Australia Fair! One of the favourite countries the Irish have helped build! Paddywagon markets itself extensively in Oztraya and for several years we’ve been treated to a magical Australian welcome by OWH (Overseas Working
Holidays), a company which organises fantastic working holidays for young Australians in any destinations around the world.
Our great times with these consummate professionals have included Melbourne Cup, Oz v Ireland at the Rugby World Cup, and the ultimate highlight The International Rules Series at the MCG in 2003!
