BRAND NEW FOR 2027: Expedition Cruises!

In Bellagio, celebrate the beauty of Lake Como with a private boat tour. Onward to opulent Lake Maggiore at the base of the Alps—enjoy food with hints of both Switzerland and Italy. Luxuriate in a private tour of San Guilio. Stresa awaits, and it is a sweet town with old world charm. From there, enjoy a boat ride to the magical Borromean Islands. Visit a summer palace and dine in a fishing village that time left behind.

Milan, founded in 400 BC, has history and beauty around every corner. A local guide walks with you through the city. You’ll stop at the ancient residence of Milan’s ruling family; see the Duomo, with more than 100 spires and 3,000 statues; visit the opulent opera house, La Scala; and finally, the UNESCO site that houses da Vinci’s The Last Supper.

Verona and Venice are wonders. The city of Verona has stunning piazzas, Romeo and Juliet’s homes, and Renaissance palaces. Tour Lake Garda by boat for breathtaking views and a medieval village with a castle, narrow lanes, and charming shops. In Venice, be amazed by the Byzantine architecture of St. Mark’s Basilica and pass elegant Venetian palaces on your private gondola ride. Savor traditional food in idyllic locations with stunning terraces… It’s time to relax and renew.

Ellie did a fabulous job helping me put together the perfect trip for my clients. She paid such great attention to the details I sent her, and my clients said the trip was AMAZING! Thank you Ellie!!!

"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!!!

"85th birthday gift celebration"

Patricia Slota

Montague Michigan

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"

Jill Loveless

Wisconsin

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"

Denise Ferraro

New 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"

Joan Cook

Illinois

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.

"Family Adventure"

Loryl Haggard

Fort Thomas, KY

Amber M. does the best job bringing my ideas to life for my clients. She truly builds the best curated trips and makes me look like a rockstar. From start to finish - she is there every step of the way. Having her and Authentic's support is awesome! Thank you for another excellent adventure!
