- Our Featured sort order ranks tours, activities, and experiences by several factors including the revenue generated by Tripadvisor from these bookings, your individual user browsing history and preferences while using Tripadvisor, the frequency of user clicks generally, and the volume and quality of customer reviews. Occasionally, newly listed offerings may be prioritized and appear higher in the list. The specific placement of these new listings may vary.
We perform checks on reviews.
Tripadvisor’s approach to reviews
Before posting, each Tripadvisor review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information, answering the following questions: how, what, where and when. If the system detects something that potentially contradicts our community guidelines, the review is not published.
When the system detects a problem, a review may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists, who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site.
Our team checks each review posted on the site disputed by our community as not meeting our community guidelines.

- Nadine BLouisville, United States57 contributionsIf you're going to see the Ring of Kerry, don't think twice - book a tour with Peter!! We had a perfect day, exceedingly our expectations. We got to see all the highlights and it was so nice to be able to sit back and just enjoy the views without having to navigate the roads ourselves. Plus, Peter knew all the best places to see, including several that the big tour buses can't get to. Peter is great at tailoring the day to your wishes and interests, and he was super patient, never making us feel rushed or like a bother. He is super knowledgeable about the area and Irish history and we greatly enjoyed our conversations. The day flew by and we hated to see it end. If we could award 10 stars we would - this was one of the highlights of our trip!Written 16 April 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- Big D McDPalmetto Bay, FL269 contributionsOn a recent visit to Killarney, we were two couples and took the private day tour of the Ring of Kerry and the Skellig Ring with Paudie Murphy and it could not have been a better day and experience. Paudie picked us up at our hotel in a very comfortable mercedes van equipped with water if we wanted it. Paudie knew that two of us were golfers so on our way out of Killarney to the Ring of Kerry we took a drive through the beautiful Killarney golf course to see the lake and mountain backdrop and the many on course deer. Two of us did a self guided Ring of Kerry tour 15 years ago but it was so much better to have a knowledgable guide who actually grew up in a Ring of Kerry town and knew its backgrounds and stories better than any guide book could offer. Along the way, we actually drove by his home and his elderly mom and sister came out to say hello. Paudie is a wealth of knowledge about Ireland and especially the Ring of Kerry. We stopped to see the ancestral home of famous Irish leader Red O’Donnell and drove many of the incredibly scenic roads and byways of the Ring with Paudie adding wonderful personal stories and information to bring what we were seeing alive. We enjoyed hearing about the Irish Civil War and the famous song from his hometown called “The Boys of Barr na Sraide”. We visited many small towns and beachfront settings that only he would know about having grown up in the Ring. The Skellig Ring tour was an added bonus and a not to be missed part of any Ring of Kerry tour. Paudie took us to the Kerry Cliffs and to one of his favorite restaurants for lunch where we had a Pint of Guiness and Fish and Chips. Along the way, he heard us talk about Irish famine villages and made an side stop to a famine village which was beautiful and a real treat. Paudie knew back roads that took us to a great viewing point for Skellig Michel, away from the tourist crowds. After lunch we made a fun stop at the Skellig Chocolate shop for chocolate and a bathroom break. We would highly recommend Paudie and his personalized Ring of Kerry tour. It is truly a highlight and Paudie is a fun person to spend the day with.Written 1 September 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- Gillian MurphyDublin, Ireland9 contributionsI cannot recommend this boat trip enough. An absolute essential experience if you’re visiting Valentia island. It takes you around the northern tip of Valentia island and the surrounding small islands. Lots of historical and wildlife info well delivered.Written 30 August 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- B F1 contributionMary was informative and engaging. We learned a great deal about Ireland and the region. The ride was comfortable and we luckily had great weather to enjoy the sites. She was accommodating, allowing us to squeeze in the Cliffs of Kerry too.Written 24 July 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- Denis Mc3 contributionsGreat walk with Eoin last weekend on Drung Hill. Eoin is very knowledgable on his subject, and just as importantly, great company during a walk. Would highly recommend to those interested in history and the great outdoors.Written 12 June 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- Leah W1 contributionWe booked a tour for my birthday as it was our first time visiting Kerry. Ted was lovely and knew everything and everyone. The route he took was absolutely gorgeous and he was nothing but patient and hospitable to our requests. Ted also has a great sense of humour and had us all laughing the entire tour. I would definitely recommend and we would definitely go again on one of his tours.Written 3 May 2022This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- lyner98Dublin, Ireland11 contributionsWe 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.
