We loved the trip and were very happy with Authentic Ireland. Lauren was a big help from the beginning. The lodging was outstanding and the information regarding each area we visited was very useful. We have been telling all of our friends to make use of Authentic Ireland if they ever travel in the future to Ireland.

Northern Ireland Trip

My husband and I took our two grown daughters to Ireland for our 25th wedding anniversary and it was amazing. Our travel agent Lauren is the best. She took care of everything except for the air portion of our trip. Any questions that I had she responded to very quickly. We had several changes to our itinerary and she made the changes without any issues and in a timely manner. All of the b&b and hotels we stayed in were awesome. We toured Northern Ireland and loved every minute of it. We rented a car and rented the Hertz never lost system and it was worth every penny. Hopefully we will get back to Ireland some day to explore the South and we will definitely work with Lauren at Authentic Ireland.

Authentic Ireland Review

Michaela, our Authentic Ireland representative, did a fantastic job in setting up our Ireland holiday experience. All the hotels were perfectly located in each of some very charming and beautiful cities. We did the "driving tour" option which provided us the flexibility and unique experience we wanted.

The enroute and local sight seeing suggestions provided were also very helpful. We came home with hundreds and pictures and memories that will last us a lifetime.

Michaela at Authentic Ireland and the entire Authentic Ireland team were all very accommodating and eager to serve. There was no pressure, questions were quickly answered and they set up as much or as little as we wanted. I even had to make a change within two days of our stay, however, they took care of it promptly and efficiently. I have recommended Authentic Ireland to my friends who may potentially visit Ireland and should it ever present itself again, would jumop at using Authentic Ireland.

Fantastic 15th Anniversary

Authentic Ireland was a tremendous company to work with and our agent, Alaina, was amazing! From our intitial introduction to our follow up after returning home, she took care of us every step of the way. Alaina listened as we told her what we would like to experience and that we wanted our 15th wedding anniversary vacation to be memorable and then she put together an itinerary tailored for us - and it was awesome, we loved every moment!! What's more, having someone who is familiar with Ireland handle all your reservations, booking and planning was a tremendous load off our minds! Thank you Authentic Ireland, and THANK YOU ALAINA for an awesome vacation!!

Aisling made sure I had the best of everything I could afford. She went out of her way to make sure my accommodations met some of my health issues and that the tours worked for my benefit. I had such an awesome experience in Scotland! I would do it all over again the same way! The people are delightful and helpful. Thank you!!!!!

Absolutely a great experience. Authentic Ireland is everything they say they are and more. I highly recommend anyone considering using them to do so if travelling to the UK.

A memorable trip to Ireland!

From start to finish, our trip through Authentic Ireland was the experience of a lifetime. Alaina gave us the most personal attention and was more than willing to customize our itinerary to include just the sites we wanted to visit. Every hotel and B&B where we lodged was so nice and the breakfasts were amazing! This trip is among the top 5 of my lifetime. Thank you so much!

Want to go back to Ireland 🍀🍀🍀

Wonderful experience. I worked with Jordan and she was very helpful. Our trip was so great, there are many places I wanted to visit but didn't get there so...guess I will have to go back 🍀🍀🍀
Our very favorite town was Dingle on the west coast. On our next visit we will spend a couple of nights in this beautiful town.
Make sure to get a GPS on your car, the directions you will find on the vouchers aren't exactly accurate so we were happy we had the GPS.
Very happy with Authentic Ireland

Authentic Ireland - An Excellent Service…

Authentic Ireland and in particular Lauren provided us with excellent service, great recommendations and prompt responses to our multiple questions and requests. The recommendation for a smaller automatic vehicle proved sage advice. Hertz provided us with a Skoda which was fuel efficient but otherwise garbage - avoid that make if possible.
All in all a great trip, excellent planning, cost effective and a big thank you to Lauren. Definitely recommended.

I had the time of my life on my self drive tour in scotland. Everything was perfectly planned out and everything i had asked for. Lonna Powers did an amazing job putting it all together for me. I know I was probably a little difficult at times but she made my dream into reality and i cannot thank her enough. I am hoping to work with her again soon and will recommend her to anyone who has plans to travel to ireland or the UK. Thank you again Lonna!!
