"Fabulous Anniversary in the UK"

Jones B.

Dublin, 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"

Kelsey F.

South 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!

"Incredible time in Italy"

Kelly H.

AZ

My clients were thrilled with their Italy vacation:

"We had an incredible time and want to THANK YOU for setting us up with an amazing experience. For our first time to Europe we had little to no knowledge of how we travel or what we liked so most of this trip was a learning experience. We loved it all! Sorrento is not to be missed!"

Thank you Ellie for your expertise, once again!

"50th Anniversary In Italy"

Jim C.

Communication was excellent before and during our trip. Although there was one day there was a snafu with scheduling, Authentic did make up for it - we would recommend Authentic Vacations to help plan your trip!

"An unforgettable honeymoon in Italy"

Kelly H.

From my clients: 9 Night Custom Italy

"An unforgettable honeymoon! We saw so many unique and unusual places that each was ranked at the top for various reasons. But, the Colosseum and history were fascinating. The architecture throughout the country leaves me speechless. The hotels and tours were amazing!

Thank you for a great experience and being so accommodating and honest with us. The idea of traveling abroad for the first time was a bit intimidating, but you armed us with invaluable information that made the trip easy and completely stress-free."

This is what keeps me returning to Ellie & Authentic!
