Your Personal Ireland Expert: Rebecca Kelly

"Rebecca was outstanding!! Give her a raise!!! The tour she set up for us was exactly what we wanted from our first trip to Ireland."

- James Jefferson Brown, Chester VA - May 2011

Rebecca has a great love of travelling, and this really comes across in the enthusiastic and practical assistance she provides to Authentic Ireland customers. Rebecca loves to meet new people while on vacation, but also likes to hear familiar Irish accents in foreign countries. So while she really loves the buzz of travelling to new places, Rebecca freely admits to being a 'homebird' at heart! Rebecca also confesses to not being the most adventurous person in the world, although she is willing to try most things at least once!

Rebecca's Favorite Part of Ireland - Westport, County Mayo:

'I never get tired of visiting Westport. It's an absolutely great spot for traditional Irish music and Matt Molloy's pub in particular is always a must-visit establishment. I also very much recommend taking a day-trip to Achill Island from Westport. The mountains and scenery there are really quite breathtaking, but keep one eye on the road as sheep are prone to wandering onto the street. They can be quite stubborn, and generally don’t like to be harassed out of "their turf" by passing traffic!'

Rebecca's Top Tip for Visitors to Ireland:

'Bring good, comfortable footwear as well as rainproof clothing. It’s very important to be as comfortable as you can while you are sightseeing during the day, and it is likely that you will experience a variety of weather conditions in Ireland, regardless of the month in which you visit. We Irish do like to dress up when hitting the town on a Friday or Saturday night, and although dress codes are virtually unheard of, perhaps you may want to bring one or two fancier outfits if you plan on dining out.'

William Harrel, St Davids PA - October 2011
Rebecca was FABULOUS in every respect. Even when I called (before the trip) and she wasn't there, someone else helped me. You have a great staff there. Also, each of the B&B's said how much they respect the professionalism and good customer service of your firm.

Rebecca, I just had to drop you a line to let you know how much we thoroughly enjoyed our vacation. It went off without a hitch. The B&B's were lovely, spotless accommodations. The breakfasts were delicious and plenty. The hosts and hostesses were so friendly and helpful. You had everything reserved and planned perfectly. I'm recommending you to my friends who would like to visit Ireland. You get thumbs up from Rusty and me!

Rebecca was outstanding and answered all of my questions. We never had any problems with any of our hotel or car reservations, and we thank her greatly for making our honeymoon go off without a hitch! Thank you so much! I recommend your travel agency to everyone who asks about our trip and we look forward to doing business with you again!

Tim Collins, Jacksonville FL - September 2011
Rebecca, was very helpful with all questions. The itinerary was laid out perfectly - staying at the Castle at the end gave us an opportunity to slow down and unwind prior to departing. This was the first time for all four of us to visit Ireland and it went exceedingly well - we will be back and go to different locations!

Rebecca was a wonderful travel adviser and when we take another trip to Ireland I would hope that she is still available to book it for us!

Rebecca was great! When we were on our trip, and decided to stay in one village longer then scheduled, she took care of cancelling/reserving the accommodations for us so we could enjoy our day!

Rebecca, I just wanted to say thank you for helping us plan an amazing trip to Ireland. My husband and I had a great time and were very sad to leave! All of the accommodations were great, the car rental was perfect and the travel itinerary hit every attraction we wanted to see. We will definitely recommend Authentic Ireland to family and friends.
