- annetF1915AX0 contributionsA Perfect DayOur trip around the Ring of Kerry and Valentia Island with Ted Kennedy was so very special and memorable. Ted made many offerings to us for stops and activities and then let us choose what we wanted to do. His knowledge of the area was priceless. We visited Muckross House, Torq falls, Ladies View, the Bog Village and Valentia Island where we went to the slate quarry and learned about the Atlantic Telegraph cables and had lunch at the harbor.Written 30 September 2022
- loraw5680 contributionsBeautiful and personalized tour of Ring of Kerry and Valencia IslandOne of our favorite days! Ted was wonderful and we loved every minute with him! We had a family of 7, including two young kids, and Ted made us feel like part of his family right away. We saw all the beautiful sites on the Ring of Kerry and Valencia Island, places we never would have stopped without Ted. It was excellent. Thank you, Ted!Written 22 July 2022
- MEdison20 contributionsAmazing Day Exploring IrelandOur day with Ted was nothing short of amazing! If you are coming to Killarney, this is the way to see real Ireland. Ted shares the history, photo stops (he is a master of photography), and laughs with you all day long. We had an amazing day seeing sites you will not get with a big tour group. We loved every minute with him. Ted is truly one of Ireland’s gems. We recommend his services 100%. Slainte, Ted!Written 10 July 2022

- FarAway7533450 contributionsAmazing tours through Kerry, Valencia Island and Dingle.Ted is WONDERFUL, informative and thoughtful. Our two families of nine toured the Ring of Kerry, Valencia Island and Dingle Peninsula over two days and we missed Ted the minute we said goodbye. Thank you Ted!Written 28 June 2022
- go-cubbers0 contributionsLiving history book plusTed took our family of 5 for an all day RoK tour and Valentia Island. Kids are 22,20, 19 and thoroughly enjoyed him, his stories and his soul. It rained for a good portion of the day and it didn’t ruin it. He took us to a local restaurant out of the Ring (not part of the cost) it was seriously the BEST food we had. He is a living history book and his first hand account of the transatlantic cable and the town are not to be missed. Literally earth shaking at the bog farm (you’re not going to know until you go and shake the earth with Ted!) Spend a day, don’t be in a hurry! Thanks Ted! Much love to you and family. -Sarah JohnsonWritten 8 June 2022

- 39skyy0 contributionsGreat tour of KerryThis tour is a must when visiting Ireland! Arrived in Killarney and Ted collected us in our Hotel. On the 1st day we did the Dingle Peninsula tour, Slea Head drive and Connors Pass which includes all of the must sees around the area. The view was amazing and we had the most wonderful tour guide/driver Ted who was incredibly knowledgable, warm & welcoming and highly entertaining! On the second day we did the Ring of Kerry which was breathtakingly beautiful. I absolutely recommend this man, the Gem of County Kerry, Ireland (Ted Kennedy) More power to you Ted and Thank you for the wonderful tourWritten 4 August 2021

We recently had the great experience of visiting Valentia Island.
While we were there we took the opportunity of touring parts of the Iveragh Peninsula.
We were very fortunate to take the trip with Kennedy Bus in the professional and capable hands of Ted Kennedy.
This man was a fountain of knowledge and experience which he share with us and all that were on the tour.
His knowledge covered local genealogy, geology and history and the amount of people that he/we encountered added to the experience.
He was most kind and no request or requirement phased as he was most obliging and helpful.
I'm sure he is in high demand.
We would have no hesitation in recommending him for any aspect of South Kerry and Iveragh in particular.
There should be more like him in the country.
