Why Travel With Authentic Ireland

Authentic Ireland Travel is an established company with a unique vision and attitude. We are wholly Irish owned and, unlike many other Ireland tour operators, we are also based in Ireland. But that alone does not make us unique. The uniqueness of the service we provide derives from the pride we take in promoting and sharing with visitors the splendid beauty and fascinating culture of our home country.


We offer you:

  • Expert Travel Services
  • Personal Attention
  • Proffessional Advice
  • Highest Accommodation Standards
  • Complete Flexibility

We are proud to be Irish and love living in Ireland. We love its rugged, wild landscape, its music, its literature, the characters you meet, the stories you hear, the spontaneous sing-songs in the local pub, the friendliness and natural curiosity of the people, and sometimes, we even love the notorious unpredictability of its weather.

So at Authentic Ireland Travel we are not just selling you an Ireland vacation, we are sharing with you our love of Ireland.

Ireland Accommodations

We only book Ireland accommodation of the very highest standard for our clients. Whether staying in family run B&Bs or historic castles, you will find that we select only the best. We cannot guarantee that every person you meet while in Ireland will be friendly, but by carefully selecting your accommodation we can ensure you will encounter friendly, courteous and helpful hosts wherever you stay. This coupled with the very high standards of service we demand from all our accommodation providers virtually guarantees your satisfaction.

We welcome feedback regarding accommodation or any other aspect of your holiday, particularly if it isn’t to your satisfaction. We take complaints regarding our Ireland accommodation very seriously and in the past have discontinued our association with a number of hotels and guesthouses as a result of feedback from our clients. We do not accept sub-standard levels of service and neither should you.

Golf and other Activities

The greatest recent development in Irish tourism is the variety and quality of activities-based vacations now available to visitors. Long famous for its golf (voted top golf destination in 2004); recent years have seen the emergence of superb equestrian, fishing, cycling, hiking and adventure vacation options.

Our in-house golf experts have selected only the very best courses for inclusion in our tours but we also allow you the flexibility to play whichever and however many courses you wish. We offer a range of accommodation options with each tour allowing you to tailor you vacation to fit your budget.

We have teamed up with Ireland’s best providers of equestrian, fishing, cycling, walking and adventure holidays to offer you an unmatched choice of activities. So whether you fancy spending a week cycling through the wilds of Connemara or just an afternoon galloping along a beach in Kerry, we at Authentic Ireland Travel will be proud to organize it for you.
