Private Tour of Ring of Kerry & Valentia Island

I would highly recommend the private tour with Ted Kennedy for anyone who wants to see the Ring of Kerry. Ted knew so much about every place we went. had great stories and everyone along the way knew him! The tour was fantastic and he took us to places we also asked for as well as places that other tours probably don't go or have access to. It was one of the best parts of our 2 week vacation in Ireland!

My husband and I are so glad we took this tour. Ted was amazing! He explained everything along the way. We had several stops for pictures and bathroom breaks. We’re so grateful to him for the unforgettable experience.

Ted is absolutely amazing! He went above and beyond and accommodated our schedule. His personal touch and passion for his homeland is special. I personally love his personal history and the beautiful scenery of his hometown Valencia. It was truly an amazing day. Thank you Ted!

Spending the day with Ted in his red tour van was truly the highlight of our trip to Ireland. To get a first hand account of the life of an Irishman was amazing. The love of family, dedication to community, and knowledge of Ireland past and present was evident as he showed us the beauty of his Ireland. He even sang traditional Irish songs for us! Thank you, Ted, for a grand tour!

One of the absolute highlights of our holiday to Ireland was our incredible day touring the Ring of Kerry with Ted. From the moment he first reached out, Ted was proactive, communicative, and made us feel welcome even before we arrived. When we met in person, he was immediately friendly, personable, and genuinely warm — it felt like reconnecting with an old friend. Ted’s knowledge of the area is unmatched. He seemed to know everyone and had a fascinating story or bit of history to share about everything we saw. What made the tour even more special was the way he connected us not just to the sights, but to the soul of County Kerry. Our favorite part was visiting Valentia Island, Ted’s birthplace. Seeing it through his eyes was something truly special — his deep love and connection to the land shone through in every word and every stop. It gave us a personal insight that no guidebook our tour bus could ever offer. Another unforgettable moment was the sheep herding demonstration Ted brought us to — such a joyful and unique experience that we’re still talking about! It was an absolute honor and joy to spend the day with Ted. We only wish we had had more time with him! When (not if!) we return to Ireland, we’ll definitely be booking another tour with him to do it all over again. If you're considering a tour of the Ring of Kerry, don’t hesitate — Ted is the best of the best. Highly, highly recommended!
