"Family Vacation in Scotland"

Heather T.

NC

My clients had an absolutely wonderful time in Scotland! They raved about the hotels, the tours and the service. There was one small hiccup with the trains (more of a Scotrail issue than an Authentic issue), but the in-destination team handled it quickly and easily, even getting my clients a refund very quickly.

Overall, both they and I are thoroughly impressed. I'm glad to have even more clients traveling with Authentic later this year because I know they'll have a great time and be well taken care of.

"Absolutely fantastic trip in Ireland & Scotland"

Jerry P.

Florida

Absolutely fantastic trip. Driver/guides Fergus and Robert were the best. Enjoyed touring Ireland and Scotland. Looking forward to our next trip.

"A truly memorable family trip in Ireland"

Jill S.

New Jersey

I wanted to thank Chauntel and Michaela for all their help and guidance with our trip to Ireland. The trip was truly amazing and everything went perfectly. We had a pretty aggressive agenda but managed to do just about everything except the Ring of Skellig.  We still managed to spend 12 hours doing the Ring of Kerry.


We loved the Dingle Peninsula and the horseback ride, despite the classic Irish weather - we had to buy dry pants in Dingle afterwards, lol.  The woman that owns it and her team were so warm and inviting, and it was one of our favorite experiences.  I would definitely recommend that to your clients again. We took a lot of your suggestions on other places to see, such as the Rock of Cashel and the Irish Stud farm (which the boys wanted to do - I was ambivalent but so glad we went, we really enjoyed it).


Thank for all the dining suggestions too, we took advantage of that (Sole Seafood in Dublin was fabulous, Poet's corner, Laurels, The Market, and more) and it was all excellent.  We hiked Diamond Hill in Connemara Park near Kylemore Abbey, The  Mullaghmore Loop in the Burren, The Cliffs of Moher. We met a lot of people and enjoyed a lot of pints :)  All the hotels were fabulous, but of them all our favorite was The Cahernane House, it was spectacular.  A truly memorable trip and awesome time with my boys!

"Wonderful time in Scotland"

Regina C.

Indiana

I had a wonderful time! I had one hiccup outside Edinburgh Castle and called the in-country support line and got it sorted in no time! I splurged and got private drivers. Would highly recommend! They were great, always had great information and stories to tell! Authentic Vacations worked with me to give me the experience that I wanted!

"I'm impressed with AV!"

Diane E.

AZ

First, many kudos to Ellie! She was a great rep to work with and helped us tremendously. This was my third trip with AV and probably my best. All hotels were wonderful to us. With Ellie's advice we made a change in our trip that was a good suggestion. The car rental went very well (and we were given my favorite mountain car - Subaru!) The tour in Edinburgh with Mercat was exceptional. I would highly recommend it! This trip has provided beautiful memories, over a wide range of Scotland! And I am sure my friend was impressed with AV as well!

"Our Italy trip unique, special, and cost worthy"

Annette F.

Ohio

Our vacation was amazing! We really had the time of our lives exploring Italy. This is the second time Authentic Vacations has helped plan our trip. Their travel agents worked really hard to make our trip unique, special, and cost worthy. A special thank you to our travel agent Adina for going the extra mile to make our trips so special. I will always recommend Authentic Vacations.

"Fantastic Family Vacation"

John R.

Tennessee

Our family trip of five adult couples to Ireland was fantastic. Unfortunately, there were some minor logistical snafus.

"Unforgettable Honeymoon in Scotland"

Loryl Haggard

Fort Thomas, KY

Hi Amber! I wanted to share this with you as you made me look like a rockstar as always.  I love when I have a booking that aligns with Authentic's business model.  Thank you as always! Loryl


"Matt and I just wanted to send a heartfelt thank you for planning such an unforgettable honeymoon for us in Scotland! From the moment we left home, everything was seamless. Each destination and tour was wonderful, and the accommodations were perfect. You truly made our honeymoon stress-free and magical, and we're so grateful for your help in making it all happen. We'll absolutely be reaching out again for our future travels (probably as soon as this year lol) and recommending you to anyone planning a special trip. Thank you again for everything! Warm regards, Fiona"
