I would recommend spending the first day in Dublin instead of driving to Belfast from the airport. Hertz ripped us off and charged us another 191.00 for an upgrade that we already paid for. Still waiting to hear from Authentic Ireland

Worked with Catherine from Authentic Ireland. It was AMAZING. Everything went smooth and to plan + it was half as costly as any other travel agency! A+ 11 out of 10

Authentic Ireland put together a first class driving trip for my wife and I. When we arrived at each destination everything was paid and in order. No hassles. All accommodations they selected were excellent. Detail driving instructions with sightseeing trips were well done. All for an excellent price. We just bought our airline tickets for 2017and definitely will be hiring Authentic Ireland to put together another outstanding itinerary. Special Thanks to Con Jager who helped us every step of the way! Erik & Cheryl Philadelphia

I have made several trips throughout different parts of the world. This trip met all my expectations. The planning of the different places of interest, the schedule, and the Hotels were magnificent! I would recommend this agency to everyone and i would define be using it again for my upcoming trips!! Astrid Klanderud

Not the first time to use this agency and they were my 1st Choice when it came to planning a trip for myself and 3 friends. Shannon was brilliant as always when it came to planning the itinerary. While Scotland may not be her usual planning site, the B&B she chose in Edinburgh was stellar. Thanks to all at Authentic Ireland for such brilliant assists. I'll definitely be contacting you again for future trips "home". :0)

We had traveled to Ireland last year, so I had experience driving on the left side of the road with the steering column on the right side of the car. I recommend that anyone who is driving in Ireland for the first time rent a compact car with automatic transmission. The roads at times are very narrow. I found driving tutorials online with the Ireland DMV very helpful. I also found helpful videos on You Tube. My wife and I arrived at Shannon Airport and drove to the Lake Hotel in Killarney. We stayed in Killarney three days, driving the Ring of Kerry and exploring sights such as the Kerry Cliffs and the nearby National Park. Driving the Dingle Peninsula is a great day trip, as well. We then stayed the next two days at Dromoland Castle. The rooms, restaurants and grounds are absolutely stunning. The castle provides a very elegant experience. While there, we drove the Burren Region touring a very old stone fort. Our last night was spent at the Bunratty Castle Hotel in Bunratty. Bunrattty is very close to the Shannon Airport with many accommodations, restaurants and petrol stations. We enjoyed a traditional Irish meal at Durty Nelly's Irish Pub. My review has scratched the surface of the wonders of our trip. The scenery is breathtaking and the locals are very friendly, warm and helpful.

We found a flight to Ireland (direct from LAX-Dublin) and needed to put a trip together within about 20-30 days. I found Authentic Ireland on the web, and worked with Aisling, our tour operator who was US based. She was GREAT. We did a few iterations of itineraries and we agreed on a path, types of hotels, orientation and we quickly put a working plan together. We did a driving tour. We oriented it towards food and sight seeing. We did upgrade the car (for very limited dollars at the airport--to a BMW no less) and we were off driving right after we landed. Our two weeks in Ireland were nothing short of fantastic. We had a blast. Every place we stayed was nice, clean, charming, lovely, and our highlighted sight seeing locations were filled with awe. We wish we had stayed an extra two weeks, done some of Northern Ireland too. We'll go back. Aisling, our tour coordinator, was attentive, and a gem. I would work with her, and this company any time in the future and have told all my friends about our experience. A+++, 11 out of 10

We could not have asked for a better vacation than the one planned for us by Maggie. We loved all of the places we stayed in and loved the food. We especially love Rosquill House in Kilkenny. We can't wait to go back.
