Top Tralee Overnight Tours

Our Ring of Kerry tour with Ted was one of the highlights of our trip to Ireland! He was communicative, professional, and incredibly knowledgeable about County Kerry and the Ring of Kerry.He was also such a great person to spend the day with — funny, easy to talk to, and full of interesting stories and fun facts. He took us to some amazing places, including Valentia Island, the Kerry Cliffs, and Kells Sheepdogs, along with plenty of other great stops.The whole experience felt personal and thoughtfully planned, and we really felt like we got to see the best of the Ring of Kerry. It’s clear that Ted genuinely cares about making the experience memorable for his guests. We’d recommend him to anyone visiting County Kerry. Five stars!

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.

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!

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!

Our guide Ted is absolutely the best. He’s dedicated to ensuring that you end your day having exceeded your expectations. He’s lived in the area for his entire life and has so many interesting experiences to impart. We totally loved our day with him.

Ted was just phenomenal. He is an absolute treasure and we were blessed to spend the day with him. He taught us so much about the area, shared stories and made us feel like we were part of the family.

A great way to see the breathtaking sights of the ring of Kerry. Ted has aw wealth of knowledge and makes the day enjoyable. We loved the day from start to finish.

This was a full day of a personalized trip around the ring in a van with a superb driver. Not to be missed!

Ted is an INCREDIBLE guide. He grew up and lives in the area and is a wealth of knowledge. It felt like we were being given a tour of a family friend’s hometown. Along with Ted being the best, the views and scenery are unmatched. I highly recommend this tour if given the opportunity!

Ted is surely the King of the Ring! Initially we were concerned about such a commitment of time (8-9 hours) but Ted made the time fly. He was also very thoughtful, stopping when/ where we wanted. If you looking for a truly private and personal guide for the Ring of Kerry and Valentia island tour, TED is your man!

My family and I had a blast with Ted as we spent the entire day (9:00-5:00 pm) with him. He was so kind and professional at pick-up, made sure we were all comfortable in his van for the tour, and made sure to share so much history with us.We had wonderful weather and made a decent number of stops along the way. One particular site we loved most was a stop to learn about sheep herding. Absolutely 100% do this experience if it’s available on your drive.Ted is absolutely wonderful and well worth the money!! Book with him ASAP!!
