"Revisit to hike the 5 villages"

Brent Shick

Cinque Terre, Italy

What a wonderful visit we had in Cinque Terre. The driver was waiting for us at Florence airport and got us to Cinque Terre quickly and safely. Driver was very nice and spoke English well. He had cold water bottles for us to drink and the Mercedes van was very comfortable transportation.

The Hotel was very nice and the people there took very good care of us. We brought more than one suitcase each, because we had 19 days of travel planned, and found that to be a mistake. We would do that differently if we do it again, we would store most of it and take only one to the hotel or ship the rest ahead to the cruise line. The villages have a lot of steps, but the hotel manager had help for us so we didn't have to do much. Very good to us.

The all-day hiking with Andrea was absolutely fantastic. He was very accommodating and a wonderful guide and a wonderful person. He talked us through what we wanted to hike and when we want to use a shuttle or the train so that we could do all 5 villages. He recommended a couple of places for lunch and the restaurant we ate at was fantastic.

The food, especially the seafood, was so delicious and fresh, we really enjoyed everything we ate. The anchovies were so fresh and tasty we had the sampler twice, which is 3 or 4 pieces of anchovies, cooked 4 or 5 different ways. I also got a focaccia sandwich with mozzarella and anchovies and sundried tomatoes. I couldn't believe how good that was to eat.

The driver was picked us up after check-out and drove us to the port in Ravenna. This was a 4 hour trip and he got us there on time and safe. Driver was very nice and spoke English well for us. He also had cold water bottles for us to drink and the Mercedes van was very comfortable transportation.

So except for the fact that we probably over did it, hiking 8 or 9 miles up and down hills, it was exceptional.

Thank you for calling me a few days before and talking me through all the things we needed to know and helping with the train tickets. ItalyBeyond also was very responsive, any time I asked them questions.

Thank you very much for putting this together for us, so that we could experience this wonderful vacation with such wonderful memories. We always enjoy the itineraries you prepare for us. Look forward to the next one.

"mom and daughter trip"

Tracy Layton

Ireland

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"

Eric Jensen

Minneapolis, 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"

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.

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.
