This is a suggested itinerary for a private group with a minimum of 6 people traveling together. Some of these experiences are seasonal and may not be available. In those instances, we will source alternatives for your group.
This chauffeur-driven Scotland vacation, with elegant lodgings, is a golfer’s dream. Visit Edinburgh Castle and enjoy dining at the exclusive Scotch Malt Whisky Society with a three-dram whisky tasting. Play the links at Braid Hills. The natural contour of the land shapes the course, and there are outstanding views of Pentland Hills and Edinburgh’s skyline.
According to Forbes, Gleneagles may be the most magical place on earth. Enjoy 850 lush acres in Perthshire and four courses—there truly is something for everyone here, and families are welcome. At classic Kingarrock you’ll step back one hundred years and play with original hickory clubs, and there are helpful advisors. Nearby, the Old Course at St Andrews Links is where the game was first played 600 years ago. This is the golf adventure of a lifetime.

"Group tour Ireland"
Oct 1, 2024Florida
Another outstanding experience! Thank you, Michaela and Authentic Vacations. Our group of 11 had an amazing time exploring the beauty of the Emerald Isle! The accommodations were stellar properties and perfectly located in the middle of each destination. Unique experiences awaited us everywhere and I was thrilled to be able to be on this special tour.
"Australia Family Visit"
Sep 30, 2024NY
The Indian pacific train ride from Sidney to Atlanta a Dream come true. The train is exquisite. The meals are fabulous and the staff wonderful. Adelaide arrangements and tours were excellent. Only suggestion: try to find another hotel away from the bars and nightspots. I would highly recommend Authentic vacations to anyone. Thank you Joleen.
"Bucket List trip to Scotland"
Sep 26, 2024South Carolina
A trip of a lifetime! Had some very specific wants for our time in Scotland and Jennifer with Authentic Vacations was able to piece it together wonderfully. We had high expectations going into the trip and they were far exceeded.
"Ireland Vacation"
Sep 25, 2024California
The 14-night Ireland vacation was pretty amazing. While it included a lot of driving and staying in nine different hotels, I don't think there is any other way to see as much of the country as we did. Every hotel check-in and scheduled event went smoothly with no glitches or delays. Ireland is such a beautiful place with an incredibly rich history. Visible everywhere you go are ruins of ancient fortresses, each telling an amazing story of the founders and conquerors who shaped this country. People in Ireland are proud, warm, friendly and happy. We always felt safe and welcome. Thank you, Amber and Authentic Vacations!
"Iceland Vacation"
Sep 25, 2024Orlando
Iceland is an amazing place and we had an amazing time. We enjoyed every minute of our adventure. Thank you Jorie and Authentic Vacations.
"Family Vacation to Scotland"
Sep 23, 2024Utah
We had a really amazing time, obviously 12 days just isn't enough to see everything in Scotland. Ellie with Authentic Vacations planned a Lovley trip, and we will be going through her again.
"Trip of a lifetime in Scotland"
Sep 17, 2024Florida
We had a trip of a lifetime in Scotland, thanks to Joleen, Destination Expert for Authentic Vacations. Words cannot express how exciting and memorable this trip was. It was a journey of beautiful sights and exceptional adventures. It was all choregraphed perfectly with Joleen's assistance and direction. The timing of our stays and adventures worked out perfectly.
The hotels were perfect and amazing in every way. I could go on and on about the experiences, adventures and breathtaking countryside, but it would turn into a novel by the time I was done.
All that being said, a round of applause to Joleen and Authentic Vacations for making this trip happen for us. It truly was a trip of a lifetime! Congratulations on a job well done!! She truly cared about planning our trip and making all the arrangements for a special and memorable travel experience. Joleen's time and patience in answering all my questions and directing us along the way was invaluable. I really felt how invested she was in our trip, and it made all the difference. Her knowledge and guidance fine-tuned our trip to a flawless experience. We can't thank her enough for all the hard work, time and effort she put into making this happen for us. We will never forget it and truly owe her a debt of gratitude for all the support she and your team put into this to make it an unforgettable trip. Thank so very much!!
"Perfect Ireland & Scotland Sibling Vacation"
Sep 14, 2024NE
The only words to describe our family vacation to Ireland and Scotland are EXCEPTIONALLY PERFECT! Jennifer was amazing during our planning process, answering every question quickly and with superb recommendations. (There were a lot of questions with seven of us!) She was knowledgeable, extremely friendly, and showed true excitement for our family’s dream vacation (I even told her at one point that she should come with us). Every excursion was exactly how she said it would be, with the beauty of both countries almost overwhelming at times. We’d decided on a private chauffeur for our week in Ireland so we didn’t have to plan around more people than we already had; best decision ever! Our driver, Roddy, was so knowledgeable, friendly, and fun that we basically adopted him into our family, and didn’t want to part with him when it was time. Authentic vacations, and especially Jennifer, my family can’t thank you enough for your hard work, professionalism, and commitment to making sure that our trip was truly the trip of a lifetime! A couple of us have already recommended Authentic vacations to others and know that we’d all look to you for future travel plans.
Thank you!!
