For the past thirteen years, Authentic Ireland Travel has introduced thousands of customers to the real Ireland & Scotland.  Authentic Ireland is a family-owned and operated company founded by a husband and wife team (one Irish & one American) in March of 2000. Over the last 13 years, our company has grown from a team of 2 to a bustling small business employing a dozen travel enthusiasts between two worldwide offices in Ireland and the USA.
