"Fantastic Iceland Vacation"
Aug 30, 2024Pinehurst, NC
Jorie, I wanted to say thanks for your help planning our trip to Iceland last week! It was fantastic. We pretty much stuck to your suggestions for things to do which worked perfectly. So glad we did a day trip to Snaefellsnes peninsula!

Authentic really listened to my client's needs and knocked it out of the park for them.
"Family Trip to Ireland"
Aug 18, 2024Connecticut
I can't say enough wonderful things about our recent trip to Ireland, and much of that is thanks to Michaela and her incredible team. From start to finish, their attention to detail and personalized service were exceptional. Michaela took the time to really get to know us and tailor our itinerary perfectly to our interests. Every recommendation was spot-on, and we thoroughly enjoyed each stop along our journey. When our flight was unexpectedly canceled, we were worried about how it would affect our plans. But Michaela and her team sprang into action, rearranging our experiences seamlessly so that we didn’t miss a thing. Their prompt and thoughtful response turned a potentially stressful situation into an opportunity to appreciate their outstanding service even more. I’m deeply grateful for all their hard work and dedication. We’re already looking forward to our next adventure in Ireland and wouldn’t hesitate to work with them again.
"Mother & Daughter Ireland Trip"
Aug 13, 2024Louisville, KY
Talk about the white glove treatment! Joleen was patient, kind, and professional throughout the booking process. She followed up well, took care of small details such as adding a night on the front end at the same hotel, AND- when it really mattered - coordinating with the Ireland team when our flight was canceled and the travel plans came crashing down. Joleen was amazing and made it all seem so easy, shifting the transfer and the hotel accommodations to meet our delayed schedule. I'd give a ten out of five if I could. Thank you!!!
"Family trip in New Zealand & Australia"
Aug 8, 2024Tempe, AZ

"Family Vacation in Italy"
Jul 19, 2024Amarillo, Texas
Amber was amazing! She listened and came up with an itinerary that was more than we could have asked for and checked every box! She was available and responsive every step of the way. She happily answered any and all questions and provided great insight and suggestions along the way. Thank you for making this process invaluable.
"70th Birthday Celebration in Scotland"
Jun 30, 2024Damascus, PA
Our trip to Scotland exceeded all our expectations. We were fortunate to be the only ones in our group so had the ability to add stops and learn a lot more. This was especially due to our amazing guide May Chen who is now a good friend. She really knows her geography, geology, history and how to show someone new around Scotland. She is a great driver as well and she was so responsive to all our needs and wishes.
"Wonderful Paris & London Trip"
Jun 27, 2024Modern Travel Pros
I wanted to pass along some feedback from my clients who just came back from their Paris and London trip. I do think they had a wonderful time!
"I wanted to say thank you for all of your hard work and help in making this trip amazing for us. It was truly incredible and exceeded our expectations. Gary was spectacular and I’d recommend him a thousand times over. We were very happy with all of your hotel selections. Locations were great for everything. Let your Disney lover clients know they truly don’t need more than a day at Disneyland Paris. I can’t stress enough how perfect the location was for our hotel in London. Public transportation is soooooo easy to navigate from there and you are truly in the center of everything. Our hotel in Paris was great too. The entire city is just absolutely stunning. Paris is a bit more spread out than London so it’s tougher to be in the middle of everything, but that location was great. Super close to the subway and great food options within walking distance. I wouldn’t have changed anything about any of our hotels."
