The travel agents at Authentic Irish Tours are very friendly and knowledgeable about many travel destinations. Martin and John went into great detail about Ireland and all of the UK and Europe. They answered many questions that I had about going overseas since this will be my first time.
They have another agent Melissa who is very knowledgeable about Hawaii, cruises, All-Inclusive, Disney and many other destinations around the world. I highly recommend them to book your next vacation. They do all the work for you making it stress free for you,
