Ireland trip It was absolutely fantastic. Authentic vacations did an unbelievable job. The Hotel(George) in Limerick was excellent. The Golf at LaHinch & Doonbeg was spectacular, the caddie’s were the best. A trip to remember. The people in Ireland were very friendly and the Pubs were great.

Fantastic experience Fantastic experience. Lonna helped put our 2 week self drive tour together. The B&Bs, Inns and Lodge she found for us were terrific. All the recommendations and tours suggested and/or arranged were wonderful. Will use Authentic again when we next travel to areas they serve.

I had a great experience with Authentic… I had a great experience with Authentic Ireland. They made all of our arrangements for car and lodging. They also provided an itinerary with suggested sites. We really appreciated having everything pre-paid before we left. It made check-in and check-out quick and easy wherever we went.

Honeymoon in Ireland For our honeymoon/first international trip, working with Authentic Vacations was a huge help! We had two travel agents because our first agent ended up leaving the company a few months before our trip. Diana made all of our arrangements, and answered a lot of questions to ease my worries. My only complaint is that by the time we got our passports and were ready to book our flights, she told us she wouldn’t be back in the office for the next week. When she came back, the airfare went up. Our second travel agent was Lainie. She sent us all of our documents on time and answered more questions for me. We had a great time on our self-guided tour through Ireland. We stayed at two bed and breakfasts, and three hotels. We enjoyed the B&B’s more. Our last hotel, Celbridge Manor, was very stuffy inside and we had to sleep with the window open to air out the room. I would not go back there again. Our driving experience was good. Make sure you take a lot of pictures of your rental car before you leave the parking lot. We had a few damages on our car that were either not listed, or only listed as minor scratches. Also, our GPS didn’t work very well so we ended up only using maps on my cellphone with Verizon. Overall I recommend working with a travel agent for an international trip to ensure you get the most of your vacation.

Excellent Travel Agent Recently worked with Tam Katzin for a trip to Ireland. Tam was wonderful to work with. She listened to what we were looking for in the trip and went over and above to make sure our trip met our wishes. Tam was very patient throughout the whole process with my numerous questions. Not once did she make me feel that I was bothering her. Even with the Pa time difference she answered emails promptly even though she wasn't in the office yet. Tam was great with little tips and information about things that I would not have thought about to take care of before our trip. I would definitely look for her guidance again if we plan another trip sometime.
