Southern Italy fuels our senses with its sights, scents, sounds, colors, tastes, and stories. On this joyous journey we’ll discover art and artifacts of the Roman Empire in Naples, explore the breathtaking cliffside villages of the Amalfi Coast, walk the haunting streets of Pompeii, revel in Capri’s opulent beauty, and get to know an ancient Greek village where temples to the goddesses still stand. All the while, we’re savoring exquisite regional delicacies and gaining unique insight into local cultures and centuries-old farming and fishing traditions of Mezzogiorno—the brilliance of Italian sunshine at midday.
Your local guide is with you every step of the way, introducing you to the sumptuous joys of Southern Italy. We travel in premium mini coaches that have comfortable seats, air conditioning, and large windows that frame stunning views. With far more flexibility than a standard-size coach, we take the scenic routes and back roads through the countryside, fishing villages, plus towns along the coast and up the mountains. Enjoy every moment of this regione kissed by the sun.

"Fun in the Emerald Isle"
Mar 19, 2025Arizona
Took my mom for her 75th bday on a trip to Ireland. We did a lot of sightseeing and travel by car to all parts of Ireland. The travel plans were easy and had time for relaxation and exploration. I would recommend this service.
"We enjoy every second of our time in Italy"
Mar 4, 2025Wyoming
My mom's dream since she was a little girl was to go to Italy to see the Vatican and Pompeii. She's 82 and it was time to make it happen. The team at Authentic Vacations knocked the trip out of the park. The guides on our various tours were incredible. Every driver we booked was friendly and safe with immaculate vehicles. The hotels were in great locations, clean, roomy, and had great breakfast offerings. My mom enjoyed every second of our time in Rome and Florence as well as our two day trips to Pompeii and Siena. So glad to get to experience this with her thanks to Michaela and Authentic Vacations!
"Wonderful trip to Scotland"
Mar 3, 2025Mequon, WI
Everything was quite wonderful! LOVED the Food tour. LOVED the handbag workshop. LOVED the Royal Mile tour (even though it was too windy for the castle entry -- next time!). The Rabbies tour to Kelpsies, Loch Lomond, and Stirling Castle was great (the castle tour guide inside was incredible!). The Scotland Showcase was good for tourists who know nothing about Scottish music and dance -- was a little underwhelming for us because we just spent 5 days at the RSCDS Winter School with the most amazing musicians and dancers! It is kind of our thing. All in all, it was great! THANKS!
"Trip of a lifetime in Australia"
Feb 25, 2025Ohio
I loved our trip—it really did exceed expectations. As far as the Australia part, I enjoyed it more than I thought I would. Authentic Vacations did a great job with the itinerary given the time constraints I had. All the transfers went smoothly and it was lovely not to have to find our own way to/from accommodations. My hope was to see a little part of Australia and especially the wildlife and I did—the trip certainly lived up to and exceeded expectations. I’m very happy with the itinerary and how everything went.
"Fabulous family vacation for clients"
Feb 21, 2025Anchorage
Authentic Vacations is wonderful to work with. As a travel professional who's clients were looking for a relaxed informative trip, Ellie at Authentic Vacations nailed it. So easy to work with and come up with fabulous trip for my travelers. Ellie is very knowledgeable about Ireland and the properties, driver and sights recommended along with way were fantastic!
Would definitely recommend Authentic Vacations and Ellie to anyone.
"Northern Lights in Norway"
Jan 29, 2025Texas
We had a wonderful time in Norway! The weather was very cooperative for all of our outdoor activities. We had the best night for viewing the Northern Lights of the whole week. We had a spectacular "show" at our first stop that our guide said he hadn't seen all season. It is absolutely enthralling! The dogsledding was a lot of fun and learning about the dog training through what happens when the dogs are retired was very interesting. The Northern Lights Dinner Cruise was not as expected but actually better. The reindeer sledding and Saami people experience was also well done. As far as feedback, we really appreciated how you kept us updated with any changes that occurred and were prepared to present us with alternatives. Thank you again for all your help. We had an amazing time and are so glad we went!
"Fabulous Anniversary in the UK"
Jan 21, 2025Dublin, GA
Authentic Vacations tailored our trip exactly the way we wanted it. Fabulous accommodations and experiences in Glascow, Inverness, and London. Great drivers to and from our locations. This is the second trip AV has done for me, and it will not be the last. Thank you!
"Incredible Honeymoon in Ireland"
Dec 13, 2024South Carolina
Where to begin? Our honeymoon was absolutely incredible, and we owe it all to Joleen! She was an absolute joy to work with throughout an entire year of planning. From our first phone call to organizing and answering our endless questions, to making adjustments and ensuring every detail was perfect, Joleen went above and beyond to make the process stress-free and enjoyable.
We spent 10 magical days in beautiful Ireland, and everything went off without a hitch. The hotels Joleen selected for us were lovely, our travel arrangements were seamless, and she managed to stick to our budget—something we didn’t think would even be possible for a trip this special.
Thanks to Joleen, our dream honeymoon became a reality, and we couldn’t be more grateful. We highly recommend Authentic Vacations, as the entire experience was fantastic. I have already recommended it to several friends! Their online portal is so user-friendly, and we loved the flexibility of being able to make payments on our trip whenever it suited us.
Thank you for everything, Joleen—we already miss emailing with you! You truly deserve a raise for the incredible service you provide!
