If you want to travel like a local in a foreign land, you need expert advice from someone who has intimate knowledge of the destination. For journeys to England, Scotland, Ireland and Wales, that advice comes from Authentic Vacations.
The tour operator provides customized itineraries to more than 70,000 travelers a year and offers an endless array of options that get to the heart and soul of each destination.
Working with Authentic Vacations means that travel agents can add personal touches to each booking that online platforms can't provide.
The company also ensures that everything goes just right.
"As a company, our travel experts make sure personal treats are delivered when there is a special occasion," said Leslie Intriago, director of marketing.
Authentic Vacations is committed to customizing each and every detail of the experience.
"People are wired differently," said Intriago. "One size does not fit all. What appeals to one person may not appeal to another which is why personalization is such a hugely important thing to ensure that the traveler gets the best experience possible."
The personalization experience can begin with their Internet engagement.
"Through modern technology, ads served to individuals as well as their user experience on a website can be tailor-made to target the user's affinities and what they are in the market for," said Intriago.
Authentic Vacations' most popular packages are tailor-made to each traveler's preferences such as the seven-night Wild and Ancient Ireland journey, which includes an upgraded rental cars, authentic and unique accommodations, breakfast daily and some of Ireland's top sights like the Guinness Storehouse, the Rock of Cashel, Gap of Dunloe, Ring of Kerry and more.
The 10-night Highlands and Whisky tour brings guests to "the Whisky Triangle" as well as the Isle of Skye, Glencoe, Fort William and the city of Edinburgh, staying in four-star city hotels and authentic B&Bs. The self-drive journey also includes whisky tastings and ghost tours.
Movie buffs can take advantage of Authentic Vacations' portfolio of journeys to popular filming spots. Game of Thrones tours take travelers through George R.R. Martin's masterpiece from Winterfell to Storm's End. A Harry Potter tour is available in England and an Outlander tour in Scotland.
