Suggested Sightseeing
Historic Center of Rome, Lazio Region
When you travel to Rome, you’ll understand why the entire historic city center, within the ancient city walls as well as the Basilica of St. Paul’s, is a UNESCO World Heritage Site. The city is a complex, yet almost seamless, pattern of archaeological sites mixed with urban hot spots. Founded on the banks of the Tiber River in 753 BC, it was the center of the Roman Republic. That was followed by becoming the heart of the Roman Empire and then the Christian world.
With each period of growth, new buildings were built on top of old, often repurposing materials and space. Beginning in the 15th century, the story of Rome was reflected in the Renaissance and then during the Baroque period. In many ways, Rome is indelibly linked with the story of Western civilization as the people’s beliefs and values changed over thousands of years.
Pantheon, Rome, Lazio Region
The Pantheon is a former Roman temple, now a church dedicated to St. Mary of the Martyrs, in Rome. The stunning building is circular with a portico of large granite Corinthian columns, each weighing 60 tons, under a pediment. A rectangular vestibule links the portico to the rotunda, which is under a concrete dome with a central opening to the sky. Almost two thousand years after it was built, the Pantheon’s dome is still the world’s largest unreinforced concrete dome, standing at 142 feet. Although it is a mystery how it managed to survive years of barbarian raids while the rest of Rome’s monuments crumbled, the Pantheon remains the best preserved Ancient Roman monument. The building is a remarkable sight to behold, and even Michelangelo commented that it looked more like a work of angels, not humans, when he first saw it.
Trevi Fountain, Rome, Lazio Region
Standing 86 feet high and 161 feet wide, the Trevi Fountain is the largest Baroque fountain in Rome and one of the most famous fountains in the world. Designed by Italian architect Nicola Salvi and completed by Pietro Bracci in 1762, the fountain is a stunning monument in the center of the city. Legend has it that those who toss coins into its waters will return to Rome, making it a tradition for its visitors. The coins are collected every night and given to the Italian charity called Caritas, so it is illegal to fish them out from the famous fountain.

Sistine Chapel, Rome, Lazio Region
Named after Pope Sixtus IV, the Sistine Chapel is perhaps the most famous chapel in the world. It is renowned in both form - with its incredible artwork, and function - as the Papal Conclave. The ceiling and western wall of the Sistine Chapel are adorned with some of the most astonishing paintings in the world created by the famous artist – Michelangelo Buonarroti. Despite being one of the most cherished works of art in history, Michelangelo was originally hesitant to paint the ceiling of the chapel for he saw himself as more of a sculptor than a painter.
The middle section of the ceiling depicts 9 stories from the Book of Genesis, including the iconic ‘Creation of Adam’ where the hand ofGod is seen reaching to Adam to give him life. In 1535 Michelangelo was commissioned once again to paint the western wall over the altar. Michelangelo completed this spectacular painting of the ‘Last Judgment’ in 1541. The painting depicts the end-of-days and second coming of Christ when according to Christian faith all souls will be judged by Jesus, the Saints, and God and sent to heaven or hell.

It was established during the ninth century, but adopted its current size and form in 1177, and was paved one hundred years later. The Piazza San Marco is one of the most beautiful in the world.

Bridge of Sighs, Venice, Veneto Region
The Bridge of Sighs (Ponte dei Sospiri) is an enclosed bridge made of white limestone with windows with stone bars. The bridge passes over the Rio di Palazzo, and connects the New Prison to the interrogation rooms in the Doge's Palace. Despite being considered one of the most romantic sites in Venice, the bridge was built in 1602 so that convicts could go straight from being sentenced in the palace courtrooms to their prison cell (or execution) across the bridge. Rather than connecting two roads on either side of the water, the bridge travels from one building to the other.

Murano & Burano Small Group Boat Tour
Venice, Veneto Region
No trip to Venice is complete without discovering the Venetian Lagoon's two most cherished islands. This half day trip to Murano from Venice offers transport by private boat and a dedicated guide throughout. Gain perspective on the ageless arts of glassblowing and lacemaking and the mastery of artisans, as well as delight in the unique charm of the tranquil canals and piazzas of these vibrant islets.
Once you reach the meeting point in central Venice, you'll be whisked off to Murano to see its world-famous blown glass. Admire the 'City of Bridges' from the water with sweeping views and commentary from your guide as you get ready to witness the magic of Murano glass. All glassmaking was moved to this tiny group of islands in the Middle Ages, and it was the only place where mirrors were made for centuries. Techniques were so secret that perpetrators risked execution for leaking them. Times have changed, but you'll behold exactly what has made Murano glass so sought after for nearly 750 years.
Upon arrival, dock at a specially chosen glassblowing workshop to marvel as craftsmen shape molten glass into dazzling works of art. See these sparkling treasures come to life as you learn how colors and the most ambitious shapes come to be. After browsing in the gallery, explore Murano to enjoy its sleepy canals and San Donato church, a stunning example of Byzantine architecture, without being hurried.
The next stop on your Venice cruise is Burano. Considered by many as one of the most colorful places in the world, this small fishing community with its brightly colored houses also has some of the finest handmade lace anywhere. Watch this cultural tradition in action as women stitch by hand, like countless generations before them. After the demonstration, you will have free time to visit the lace museum, stroll Burano's vibrant waterways, or shop for souvenirs.

What could be a better souvenir than cooking knowledge to last a lifetime?
During your class, you'll learn how to use the best seasonal ingredients to make an appetizer, traditional pasta made from scratch, and even a decadent dessert! In the second part of the workshop, sit down and with a good glass of wine and indulge in all your hard work. Cooking and dining with a local host gives you the chance to be welcomed in as one of the family and dive into in the traditions of everyday Italy.

The Museo del Merletto has exhibits on the development of lace-making in the area, and shops sell lace products like linens and clothes, as well as delicious local butter cookies called "bussolai buranei." This quiet village with only about 2,000 full-time residents allows you to experience the magic of the canals and the picturesque buildings in a more tranquil atmosphere than bustling Venice.

We had the trip of a lifetime to Ireland (the Enchanted Ireland trip). It was an incredible small-group tour, and Joan our guide is knowledgeable, fun, and kept us on a good schedule without being rigid. As a native of Killarney, Joan shared stories, sang us songs, and truly provided a customized experience that we could not have gotten with a large group tour in a coach.
So thankful that we made this investment and trusted our trip to Authentic Vacations!

My daughter and I went on the Grand and Gallant 10-day tour to Scotland through Jennifer, and we cannot say enough about the trip from start to finish. From the moment we booked until we landed back home, everything was smooth, seamless, and exactly as expected.
Our tour guide, Cal, was an absolute pleasure. His passion for Scotland’s history and heritage was infectious, and he kept our group of 15 engaged and entertained every step of the way. I still find myself missing his uplifting energy and positivity in the mornings—he truly made the experience unforgettable.
Our bus driver, Paul, was equally amazing. Not only did he keep us safe and on schedule, but he also shared his warmth and kindness throughout the journey. Getting to know him and hearing about his life in Scotland was a highlight in itself.
And Scotland—what a breathtaking country. Authentic Vacations put together the perfect itinerary, balancing iconic sights with authentic local experiences. The pace was lively, which made the 10 days fly by, but we loved every minute. There were moments when the beauty around us felt almost otherworldly—as if each day was a day in heaven. The accommodations were comfortable, and while the unusually warm weather made us wish for air conditioning, bringing along a small travel fan solved the problem nicely.
Overall, this trip exceeded every expectation. From the outstanding team of Jennifer, Cal, and Paul to the beauty of Scotland itself, it was a journey we will treasure forever. I cannot recommend Authentic Vacations and this tour highly enough.

Authentic Vacations curated a wonderful vacation plan. We wanted to SEE Scotland and we were not disappointed. In addition to all that Edinburgh had to offer + the Military Tattoo we travelled the country roads experiencing the highlands while riding through the glacial valleys. We visited both National Parks, iconic Lochs, battlegrounds and castles. All the hotels were wonderful. Our guide, Cal, gets 10-star reviews for guiding us through Scottish history and culture. When we travel again we will seek him out as a guide.

We can't say enough great things about our partnership with Amber! She planned the most incredible honeymoon for our clients in Scotland and truly made it the trip of a lifetime.
"Every detail - from the hotels to the fun tours and unique experiences - was perfectly curated. We felt so taken care of leading up to and during the trip! The accommodations were cozy and romantic, the local experiences were unforgettable, and everything ran so smoothly. We didn't have to stress about a single thing. They're professional, friendly, and genuinely passionate about what they do. We're already dreaming about our next adventure with them!"
Amber is the most amazing agent to work with! She pays great attention to detail and always provides the best experience for our clients. I wish all of our suppliers had quality employees like her!

Jennifer helped my clients with a bucket list trip to Jackson Hole, Wy. She made everything on their list happen and they had an amazing time. They loved the Four Seasons Resort she booked, and every tour was on point. They loved each tour, and the tour guides were so knowledgeable. Authentic Vacations does a great job contracting with the best of the best.
Jennifer did the best job communicating with me from start to finish on every detail. I will definitely be using her and Authentic Vacations for future trips for my clients.
