Authentic Irish Tours Travel Agency - Valparaiso, Indiana

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.

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.

We had the trip of a lifetime. Martin and the AIT team did an amazing job with all sorts of recommendations up front and exceptional planning. Their recommendations were spot on! Everything went off without a hitch with transportation, hotels, sights and attractions. Ireland is an amazing place with warm, down to earth people. The same kind of folks that work at AIT. I strongly recommend AIT if you are planning a trip to Ireland.

I can’t even begin to describe how amazing the whole experience was! Martin nailed everything I was going for. I had a certain experience I was looking for and we talked in great detail and gave me every bit of what I was looking for plus more. He was so fun to plan the trip with. I will forever be ruined from vacations bc nothing will ever top our Ireland trip! Thank you so much and I’ll be annoying you this summer for another trip 😂

We are so glad we called Martin Hughes with Authentic Irish Tours. He took all the difficulty out of planning a vacation. Not only did he help plan our trip to Ireland, he booked hotels and secured travel vouchers for us. We definitely will be calling Martin again. We had a fabulous vacation in so many ways! Thank you Martin.

Martin and John helped me make a dream of taking my people on a special tour of Ireland from concept to reality. We worked together to create Jayde's Mystical Tour of Ireland and I took 33 people to Ireland in April, 2024.

The tour was fantastic, and Authentic Irish Tours was there every step of the way, even checking in during our week in Ireland to make sure all was well. All the details were planned carefully, and the trip was smooth and seamless.

Can you book your own travel to Ireland? Sure you can. But why waste so much time and energy trying to Google this and that when you have seasoned experts who can help you build your dream trip? Whether it’s 2 or 42 of you, they will help you get all that you want from your time in Ireland.

Oh, and they’re super nice guys, too.

Book with confidence! I’m already planning our next trip with them, to Scotland!

My husband and I were very pleased with the accommodations and recommendations that Authentic Irish Tours provided for our first trip to Ireland. Martin was very pleasant to work with and wanted to make sure his arrangements met our expectations for lodging and ease of travel to various points of interest. We enjoyed our trip so much, we hope to return in the future and will seek the guidance from Authentic Irish Tours again!
