The Authentic Story

As the originators of “authentic” travel, Authentic Vacations launched its brand in 2001 with a full selection of customizable travel packages to Ireland. Authentic Vacations has since expanded to include destinations beyond Ireland. But, the company’s core value—delivering an authentic product and unparalleled service—remains the same.
