Authentic Ireland Reviews 

My husband and I had always wanted to do a self-guided driving tour of Ireland but had no idea where to begin. Where should we go, how much time should we spend at each location, and what sites should we see were all daunting questions we just couldn't get clear answers to on our own. Amanda with Authentic Ireland made it effortless. She patiently worked with us for months as we put together our perfect tour and it was apparent right from our first location that she nailed it. Even more impressive is the reputation Authentic Ireland has and many times our hosts seemed to go out of their way to facilitate our needs. The accommodations were first class, the locations all unique and worthy, and our overall experience both worry-free and unforgettable. Thanks for an amazing vacation we won't soon forget!

I have been working with Anastasia Casteel who works for Authentic Ireland to book the most perfect trip. Anastasia Casteel has been AMAZING!!!! She has gone above and beyond and has truly represented this company well! I decided to book my trip to Ireland all because of Anastasia Casteel! She was absolutely OUTSTANDING and because of her I will absolutely be booking more and more trips with this company!!!

We highly recommend Authentic Vacations. Heather was our consultant and she was fantastic. From the minute we stepped off the plane and got into a taxi and went to our first hotel to the 7th hotel and everything in between was absolutely perfect. We did not have one problem, concern or hiccup! Heather took care of every detail. She gave us so many tips and suggestions that truly helped us throughout our 11 day trip to Ireland. If anyone is thinking about going to Ireland, make sure you contact Authentic Vacations. Just perfect!!!!!

Our Ireland trip was absolutely fantastically wonderful. We enjoyed every last minute and everything went as planned. Our accommodations were very, very nice. We have only the kindest and fondest words for all of our hosts, and of course, some places were a little fancier than others. However, that was part of the plan. Our favorites were the two farm houses which were were quite different from each other, but both memorable experiences. It is so good to visit a country where US citizens are welcomed and treated so nicely. We very highly recommend Authentic Ireland for assisting us with our arrangements, as we are most pleased with our experience. Thank you!

Amazing!! My now wife and I were looking for a honeymoon spot and came across Authenic Ireland by chance and saw the opportunity to be able to stay in castles and/or manors. We contacted them and then got it all planned within a few emails with Maggie. It was easy to setup, once it got close, she emailed us travel documents and the whole 9 day honeymoon went without an issue. We got a rental car with insurance included in the package deal, beautiful rooms throughout our trip, everything that was promised is what we received and more! She made sure to include with the reservations that it was our honeymoon and most of the places gave us some special perks during our stay with them.

Great experience dealing with Authentic Ireland! Would happily book with them again!

Authentic Ireland planned the best trip for our Family to tour Ireland. We were celebrating our 45th wedding anniversary and believe me this is to remember in all aspects. Our accommodations were excellent the staff at the hotels were very friendly and helpful wanting to make sure we had everything we needed. The tours they suggested and planned were awesome. We would definitely recommend them if you are planning a trip to Ireland!!

Almost three years ago my parents and I sat down to plan a trip to Ireland for the immediate family. We got the map of Ireland out on the table and planned away. A couple weeks after that I sent out what I thought was an amazing, doable trip to Authentic Ireland. Within 24 hours I received an email back from Con our Travel Advisor. Con looked over what I had sent and without hesitation took that trip and customized it to the amazing trip we just recently experienced. Con was able to provide us guidance on the rules of the road and how far things would truly take to travel to. Con was always free to answer my questions and did so with a great sense of urgency.

We started out with 32 family members for this trip and over the last 2.5 years we got down to 17 travelers. This trip that Con organized was truly a trip of a lifetime. From the accommodations to the sites to the towns, everything surpassed me and my family's expectations. Everything was taken care of and there was absolutely zero stress for a family of 17, traveling to Europe for the very first time. Words cannot express the appreciation we have for Con and Authentic Ireland. I know that I can speak for my family when I say, that we will not only recommend this company to other friends and yes even more family members but we will be sure to come back to them for our next big family adventure! Thank you, thank you, thank you!

We asked for a self-drive tailor made experience for active action seekers, and we got that. We had plenty of castles, churches, hikes, and sight-seeing during the day with fun pubs to close out the nights. Even stayed the night in one of the most haunted castles and had a memorable experience.

Our family trip to Ireland was absolutely amazing. All of our hotels and castle were luxurious. Check in was always smooth. All of the restaurants were top notch. The car rental was also easy. Amanda made great recommendations for sight seeing!

We had a wonderful time in Ireland with our self-drive tour. Jocoya from Authentic Ireland did a great job helping to build our customised itinerary. Everything went exactly to plan.

Most wonderful vacation ever! The people on the tour (to a one) and the people of Ireland were easy going, fun, and open to each other. We saw extremely beautiful places, heard about the history of the places we saw through a very knowledgeable and humorous Tour Director and Driver. The hotels and meals were the best! Would go back and stay longer at the drop of a hat. Our booking agent, Jocoya, was great to deal with and she took care of every detail of our booking and answered any questions or responded to concerns in a timely fashion prior to and throughout our trip. Authentic Ireland met all of our needs and we will hopefully get to work with them again. Gerry S. and Pam B. (US, MN)

Second time using Authentic Ireland and Lauren. Will continue to do so! Easy to pay off the vacation of your dreams. Everything we hoped it would be and more with beautiful accommodations and great sight seeing recommendations! Best part is, when you get there everything is paid for but your food and gas! Oh, and souveniers of course:)

We had a fantastic trip to Ireland. Maggie treated us great and was always there when we needed her. I would recommend Authentic Ireland to anyone.

we had a fabulous trip, in large part due to our agent Jocoya Fox Jones. she was prompt, diligent, and very pleasant to deal with. In two word "ABSOLUTELY DELIGHTED!"

Awesome trip. Well planned out. We saw and did many exciting things. Looking forward to our next trip....

Authentic Ireland Vacations simply delivered the dream vacation. Our travel agent, Alaina, was very knowledgeable of Ireland and tailored our trip to perfection. I will be using them again in the future

Jordan with Authentic Ireland was just fantastic! Due to my husband's job, we had to change our dates several times and she was always right on top of everything and very patient. Our accommodations included beautiful hotels and castles that I could only have imagined and would have never dreamed of booking myself. The entire 10 days in Ireland was the trip of a lifetime and we are already planning another and will certainly use Authentic Ireland again.

We just completed our third trip to Ireland with Authentic Ireland. Everything went smoothly and we had a wonderful trip. We did a self-drive, custom-designed trip and Michaela took our ideas and planned out an itinerary with us. I would recommend going with Authentic Ireland for a stress-free and well-planned vacation.

This is the 2nd time we booked our Ireland trip with authentic Ireland. From our coordinator Michaela who worked with me to make our itinerary to our satisfaction to our driver Seamus who made reservations for us and took us to places on our itinerary and beyond, we could not have ask for a more perfect trip. I would highly recommend booking an Ireland trip with authentic ireland. You will not be disappointed!
