"Wonderful 30th Anniversary Trip"
Sep 1, 2025Lititz, PA, USA
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!
"Amazing Small Guided Vacation in Ireland"
Aug 26, 2025Michigan
We were going to go with a big tour but we were told about Authentic Vacations and boy are we glad we changed our minds!
This wonderful trip went beyond our expectations. Joan made us feel so welcomed and we not only saw so many incredible places, she made sure we were informed as well. We are looking forward to going back to Ireland and hopefully Joan is our guide.
"Wonderful time in Ireland"

Wonderful time in Ireland, with Joan as our guide it was such a great time. She is such a wonderful person, her great stories and knowledge of everything was incredible.
"This trip exceeded every expectation"
Aug 20, 2025Virginia
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.
"Wonderful Vacation Plan"
Aug 20, 2025St. Louis
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.
"Incredible Honeymoon in Scotland"
Aug 18, 2025Scotland
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!
"My clients absolutely loved everything about their trip"
Jul 21, 2025Florida
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.
"A Dreamy Anniversary Vacation in Ireland"
