This 10-Night tour may be the perfect answer to your Australia travel dreams. You’ll begin in Sydney, a city guaranteed to renew your sense of curiosity. Join a small group for a gourmet lunch cruise around Sydney Harbor—feel the sun glint off clear waters. Take a walking tour of gardens and learn about native plants. A local guide will also take you through the city’s museum and tell you about the magic behind the art. On a day trip out of the city, you’ll discover the remote, and incredible, Blue Mountains Region.
On the fifth day, you will leave Sydney behind and head to the Outback for Uluru and Kata Tjuta National Park. Sacred to the Anangu, the local Aboriginal group, this is a living, cultural landscape. It is believed these special formations hold secrets of the Dreamtime, the ancestral period when the world was being created. A local guide will tell you the stories, and you are invited to fall under their spell.
Your last nights are spent in Port Douglas, a chic and relaxed seaside village. And, it is the base for discovering the Great Barrier Reef. Head up the coast for a fascinating tour of the Daintree Rainforest. Then go to the ocean on an eco-sailing cruise and swim among the largest, living structure on earth—the Great Barrier Reef. This is the authentic Australia vacation you’ve been imagining!

"mom and daughter trip"
Jun 11, 2026Ireland
What an amazing trip! I chose Authentic because the itinerary sounded exactly what we wanted to see. But what made this the trip of a lifetime was our driver/guide, Colm Dunlea. He was absolutely incredible. The stories he told, the little side trips he took us on, the tips he gave us as we arrived in each of the towns/cities, the pictures he took and all of the extras he gave us were just so very much appreciated. I am forever grateful to Colm Dunlea for all he did. He was BRILLIANT!!!

Our trip to Ireland was beyond amazing. Each day brought new vistas filling us all with the heart of this beautiful land, The accomadations were just magical and each one had a lovely history of its own. The tour itinerary was well designed to teach us about Irelands different areas and history. Special praise to our ProCar chauffer / guide, Mr. Declan Cummins for going way above to care for each traveler . ( We were a varied group.) He is a huge asset to your company, We all grew very fond of him by weeks end. Thank you all for creating this wonderful adventure. I'd do it over again in a heartbeat!
"Denmark Vacation"
May 31, 2026Minneapolis, MN
My clients' 'Denmark in the Spring' trip exceeded expectations — from the seamless logistics to the curated experiences in both Copenhagen and Aarhus, every detail was thoughtfully arranged. Their drivers and guides were exceptional, bringing the destinations to life in ways they couldn't have discovered on their own. They returned home already dreaming of their next trip.
"Mom and daughter trip"
May 28, 2026Wisconsin
My client and her mother contacted me about travel to Ireland. They wanted something private and special. I met my Authentic Vacations' sales rep the night before and decided to send in a request. Best decision ever! Lauren L. received my request and immediately sent me an email with a few ideas, we talked on the phone and within 2 days I had a winning itinerary.
Fast forward. My client emailed me on arrival day and was very pleased with the service. She emailed me again on the last day and raved about their driver Colm Dunlea.
Working with Authentic Vacations was effortless. I highly recommend them and plan to use their service again.
"Family Vacation"
May 21, 2026New York
As a travel advisor, this was the first Ireland trip I entrusted to Authentic Vacations, and they knocked it out of the park. The clients loved having a private driver, thought the hotels were ideal, and a castle stay was the perfect ending to the trip.
"Birthday Family Trip"
May 20, 2026Illinois
My group of 10 returned from a week in Ireland where I hired a driver through Authentic Vacations. Delcan went above and beyond as I had 2 80+ women in the group that could not walk long distances. He found wheelchairs at every venue. My clients said he was very kind and friendly. Thank you to Jennifer at Authentic Vacations who made this experience a memory of a lifetime.
