Begin your exquisite Italian holiday by celebrating the beauty of Lake Como with a private boat tour. The town of Bellagio itself is a small jewel, known for its cobblestone lanes, elegant architecture, and an 18th-century terraced garden with lake views. From old-world Stresa, on the shores of Lake Maggiore, you’ll sail to the Borromean Islands. Take time to explore the charming village and outdoor cafes. Heaven.
Prepare for bliss in Milan. Walking tours will take you to the city’s high points, including La Scala and a pre-booked viewing of The Last Supper. After that, dive into the markets with your local foodie guide. Shop for seasonal produce, the finest cheeses, and great wine in a 19th century glass-vaulted plaza. End your time in Milan with a special Aperitivo in Milan’s most glamorous cocktail bar. This is opulent Italy at its best.

"Belated Norway Honeymoon"
Oct 14, 2026Georgia
This was my first experience working with Authentic Vacations and they did not disappoint! Amber was amazing!!! I was in over my head with a Norway itinerary, but she put my mind at ease. She was so patient! My clients made it very challenging. I was ready to give up after several attempts to create the itinerary they requested because each time they'd ask for another change. Amber did not waiver though. She knew just what to do and always had excellent recommendations. She listened and took the time to talk through the clients' requests with me. With the help of Amber and the local Nordics team I was finally able to give the clients the perfect itinerary. They were so pleased! This trip was on their bucket list and they had an amazing time. I really don't know what I would have done without Amber! I will definitely use Authentic again. I was so impressed with their process and the level of support. I never felt like just another email itinerary request. Working with Amber was like working with family and I knew both myself and the clients were in great hands. Thank you, Amber, for taking such good care of us and for making me look like a rockstar with these clients!
"Small Group Private Trip to Ireland/Scotland"
Oct 12, 2026Florida
Amber and Authentic Vacations saved my group and my reputation with these clients when another "'reputable" supplier severely dropped the ball and botched the booking experience. Not only did they come in under budget BUT they added so many other experiences for clients. I knew nothing about Scotland and only a little about Ireland and she took that weight entirely off my hands. Clients are back and had a great adventure! Highly recommend Amber and the Authentic Vacations team. They made me look like a rockstar and clients loved their entire experience.
"Friend Vacation"
Sep 30, 2026Ireland
Jennifer made me look like a rock star in my clients' eyes! 2 couples did an 8 day adventure in Ireland. They gave me their list of must see and dos and Jennifer filled in all the gaps and planned the best route. Her call with me prior to the clients' departure was super informative. She gave me times where they should plan on heading to their next stop on their busy days. All the extra little advice she gives is absolutely invaluable! So glad I have another set of clients heading to Ireland next year and that I get to work with her again!

"2026 Family vacation to Italy"
Sep 10, 2026Oakland
Amber at Authentic Vacations was absolutely wonderful. She helped put together a great trip for the family. The feedback from the family is below:
From Marta: With the exception of a tour that was delayed, everything scheduled commenced on time. Our drivers and tour guides were outstanding! Hotel Corallo was heavenly and couldn’t have been better located. Hotel Quirinale needs to provide more storage space! Though the rooms were spacious, the furniture was not suitable for storing our clothes!
From Joseph: Richard was excellent. So thorough in every possible way, even stuff I didn't think of when I typically travel, and he was responsive to a few things that came up during our trip. Will be using him for our next trip.
