Amazing Group of People! I have been recommending Authentic Ireland to anyone thinking of traveling to Ireland or Scotland. This is my 3rd trip using AI and each time the packages get more intriguing and adventurous. Great package prices and excellent customer service.

Emma Tancred from Authentic Ireland arranged our vacation. We told her that it was our 15th anniversary, and that we desired to see/stay in as many castles as possible. She created our personalized castle driving tour of southern Ireland. It was wonderful!! She helped us decide which attractions to see, and helped us focus on the most authentic ones to "not miss". While we were in the planning stages, Emma was on vacation herself, and other Authentic Ireland agents took over. They helped us with a modification or two, allowing us to visit Chef Kevin Dundon's restaurant, yet get us back to Dublin in time for our flight out the next morning. I can't say enough good things about Authentic Ireland. Emma even had a bottle of wine in our room for our anniversary at Abbeyglen Castle. I have recommended Authentic Ireland to many friends.

The folks at Authentic Ireland are great to work with! You can choose one of their many pre-planned vacations or "create your own". My husband & I created our own self-drive vacation, staying in charming B&B's along the way across Ireland. Aisling was very helpful with making suggestions & ideas for getting the most out of our 10 days. I can't wait to return to Ireland using Authentic Ireland again!

Our most amazing vacation experience ever! Thank you!

We are headed on a trip to Ireland and Scotland in April and we couldn't be more happy with our agent at Authentic Ireland tours! Maggie in your Santa Rosa Office is so wonderful and helpful! She's the best at what she does, and really provided excellent customer support whenever we called. I hope we take another trip just because it's been so nice to have her helping us put this trip together!!!

I know this is well after the fact, but our trip to Ireland in early October was fantastic!! AND, we really lucked out with the weather. Rain only on the morning we left Ireland. Can't begin to say enough how helpful Lauren was in planning our vacation. Everything went without a hitch and the B&Bs, castle stay and hotel/motel were amazing. The only thing we would change would be our final stay near the airport. We thought it was too close to the airport for us, though convenient, and would not stay there again. Would rather travel back to airport from another location. The Waterford Castle stay was amazing!! The Merry Ploughboy Show, the pub crawl and dinner at Bunratty Castle were fun. The Jail tour with history and Whiskey tour were awesome and very informative! St. Patrick's Cathedral was truly breathtaking!! A must see. The Cliffs of Mohr, breathtaking! Just a little bit of what we were able to see and do. We never imagined we would learn so much of the history of Ireland! In general, the people were truly amazing and wonderful. We will definitely be going back within a year or two and using Authentic Ireland to plan our trip. We are thinking of touring Northern Ireland and Scotland in our next adventure.

Con did a fantastic job with setting up our trip! It was definitely a trip of a lifetime, and my dad and I are already looking forward to going back to Ireland. We did a self-guided tour that took us to several Game of Thrones filming locations as well as the Cliffs of Moher, which are simply breath-taking. We also spent some time in Dublin checking out the Guinness storehouse and whiskey distilleries. I highly recommend this company and Con as well for any trip needs.

About a year ago we setup our extended family trip to Ireland last April which turned out to be the most memorable trip we’ve ever been on. So, first and foremost, thank you VERY much for your help with all of that. I know there was quite a bit of back and forth, but it was well WELL worth the effort. What a wonderful, and memorable time all of us had. There were 10 of us ranging from age 5 to 65 and you managed to keep us all engaged, weary of pitfalls and high stress situations as well.
