Ted was a great host. He shared a lot of stories, history and took us to some amazing places! The Ring of Kerry exceeded our expectations! We highly recommend this tour to anyone traveling here for the first time. We are also glad we decided to not drive this ourselves….the roads are very windy and not having to drive gave everyone an opportunity to see the beautiful landscape.
Very long day but it was a good time. Ted knew everything and everyone and going to his island and seeing his home, where he grew up was lovely. It felt like we were visiting a long lost friend, we felt very cared for.
My Dear Jennifer & Co Many thanks for your Perfect Review = That is the way I want my Guests to feel = I am the Lost Brother in Ireland I want Everybody to be Very Happy Charge the Batterys for the Long days ahead God Bless Ted
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 Dear Meredith & Co I enjoyed every moment of our day with you Beautiful Extended Family The Day was too short & the evening rain cut some of our Views God Bless you all Ted & Red Bus XXX
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!
Many Thanks Jane & Co It was like time seeing a close Relation or Friend returning Home We had plenty of Communication before you got to Kerry we had everything planned to a T Best of Luck to all Ted & Red Bus
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!
Good Evening Martha & Co Thank you both for Touring with me It was a joy for me also to show you Real Ireland Both as a Lighthouse Keeper and & Life before & after that Service Best of Luck & Happiness Ted & Red Bus
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!

Wow! My family and I had the best time touring the ring of Kerry and Valentia island with Ted. He has definitely earned his nickname “king of the ring.” Not only was he incredibly knowledgeable about the region- armed with a fact or anecdote for just about every structure on the tour- but he was incredibly kind to our family and had friend at every stop on our tour. We had the best time, thank you so much Ted!
