Ted Tours

Ted Tours is a guided tour company based in Glencree, near Ennistymon in County Clare, dedicated to the beloved comedy series Father Ted. Set along the Wild Atlantic Way in the north of the county, the tours take fans of the show to the real filming locations that stood in for the fictional Craggy Island, guided by locals who know the series, its settings and its characters inside out.

A half-day tour visits the landmarks that appear throughout the programme, with fancy dress and props provided along the way for photographs. The guides share stories and background about how and where the show was made, and the day is designed to be light-hearted and full of fun rather than a straightforward sightseeing trip.

Ted Tours also caters for private groups and special events, with playful touches such as a Lovely Girls contest and a Golden Cleric award, and pick-up can be arranged. For those who prefer to explore independently, the company has produced a self-guided app called Visit Craggy Island, which can be downloaded to a phone or tablet to follow the locations at your own pace.

Booking is recommended, and the most up-to-date details on tour times, meeting points and prices are available directly from Ted Tours.
