Having never been to Ireland or even Europe, I was becoming quite frustrated trying to plan my 2-weeks in Ireland. Fortunately, a google search led me to Authentic Irish Tours. Martin Hughes was a God-send! He orchestrated the perfect Irish vacation for us! He ticked every box on our must-see list and then some; booking us into some fabulous hotels along the way. Memories to last for years to come!

We had a wonderful time! Martin was hands-on throughout the entirety of the planning process leading up to the trip AND the days we were actually abroad. He always greeted us with friendly enthusiasm. Would recommend this company for anyone planning a trip to Ireland. Exceeded all expectations! Martin and John helped make our trip of a lifetime absolutely unforgettable! Thank you again!

Martin recently planned a trip for our group of 8 family members. My husband and I had been to Ireland before but were looking forward to our second visit. Martin helped us map out a plan, select sites and convinced us to hire a private driver for the group. What a revelation that was. Our driver (also named Martin) was knowledgeable and charming. He found us so many hidden gems along the we would e otherwise missed. A couple of our favorites were the entire town of Killarney and The Great Southern Hotel there. The facilities and rooms were beautiful and the town had so much to offer. Our Stop at Inch Strand beach was breathtaking. Our trip could’ve been chaos, but with the guidance from Authentic Irish Tours, it was a relaxing and memorable trip for all of us. Highly recommend.

This was my first solo trip to Ireland and after speaking with Martin, he saw my trip vision and planned everything out perfectly! It was an amazing life time experience. If it is you're first time going to Ireland for a week or more, I highly recommend utilizing a private driver. Makes youre strip stress free and you can learn about the history and they make stop recommendations along your destination. I 1000% recommend Authentic Irish Tours and cannot wait to plan my next trip!

Thank you, Martin and Authentic Irish Tours, for our week-long journey in London. Jeremy has for years wanted to explore the castles and see England's rock influences. It was a dream come true! Our trip encompassed both beautifully. We visited an array of sites, from castles to cathedrals, churches, universities, Stonehenge, and Shakespeare's birthplace. Observing Jeremy fulfill his dreams on the rock and roll tour and we traced the steps of Pink Floyd's members, was incredibly joyful. Of course, we tried fish and chips, enjoyed the local pubs, and rode the Tube. The trip had so many remarkable moments, they're too numerous to count! We had a fantastic time and would wholeheartedly recommend booking with this agency. Thanks, Martin

They are amazing here! If you’re looking to book a trip and wanting to have a great adventure, I highly recommend Authentic Irish Tours! Martin Hughes helped me plan a solo trip to Ireland. I wanted to take a spontaneous trip and asked Martin for his help! He wasn’t used to solo travelers and I wasn’t used to traveling alone so I told him I needed his help. He helped me plan such a wonderful trip that was unforgettable. I met new friends, the locals were so kind, and I saw some breathtaking sites! If you’re a foodie Ireland is also a great place to visit (must try fish n chips In one of the pubs or seaside towns!). My favorites were the architecture and nature in Ireland. Some of my favorite places were Galway, cliffs of moher, a scenic tour I took around Ireland, and kissing the Blarney Stone.
