Ted was very sweet and patient with us because I love photos and took lots of them for us. Because Ted is a local, we were able to see some places that we would have missed if we went on a large tour bus. And those parts were my favorite on the trip. Tell Charlie the horse we say hi!

Ted was an absolute delight! He was very informative and shared Ireland's rich history with us along the way. The Ring of Kerry and it's beauty are a must see for anyone in the region. Travelling with Ted Kennedy on a private tour is the way to do it! He stopped at the shops and bakery that we wanted and gave us as much time as we wanted at each spot. We will use him when we visit again.

We loved everything about our trip and it’s hard to pick out a favourite thing. Ted was such a great guide. He had so much knowledge about his county and shared lots of lovely stories with us. He was so flexible and allowed us to stop whenever we wished. Waterville for ice cream and Sneem for pints of Guinness. Happy days. Thanks so much Ted for a wonderful day

Ted was fabulous! Punctual and friendly. Enjoyed the history lessons and personal touch as he was born and lives on Valentia so we saw all the sites! Loved the Skellig ring tour with great views of Skellig Michael, stop at chocolate factory, and local lunch at the Fisherman’s bar on Valentia. The day went quickly and was far too short before the sun set... Hopefully we’ll be back again and I would recommend Ted highly!

We perform checks on reviews
You can only submit a review or rating of an experience to Viator if you were the person who made the booking through Viator. Before publication, each review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information for each of the following criteria: who, what, how, and when. If the system detects something that contradicts our publication criteria, the review is not published. When the system detects a problem with a review, it 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. In some cases, we will also send you an email asking you to validate your review before it is published. All you need to do is click on the link provided in the email. After publication, our team checks each review reported to it as not meeting our publication criteria. Tripadvisor reviews that appear on the Viator site are subject to the same checks and moderation processes as set out above. It is not necessary to have booked an experience through Viator (or Tripadvisor) to submit a review of an experience to the Tripadvisor site.

Sorting, ranking, and search results
Viator wants to make your searches as relevant as possible. That’s why we offer many ways to help you find the right experiences for you.
On some pages, you can select how to sort the results we display and also use filter options to see only those search results that meet your chosen preferences. You’ll see explanations of what those sort options mean when you select them.
You’ll see some experiences with a “Promoted” badge, which means that the operators of those experiences have agreed to pay Viator more to have their experience highlighted.
If you see an Experience Award Winner label, the award is based on average review ratings, share of bookings with a review, and number of bookings through Viator over a 12-month period.
The importance of any one factor over any other in a sort order varies, and the balance is constantly being reviewed and adjusted. We’re always updating our systems and testing new ways to refine and improve your results to make them as relevant as possible to meet your needs.
