We have used Authentic Europe twice - first for Authentic Scandinavia, which was so wonderful we used them again for England, Scotland, Ireland. A terrific experience once more! Great accommodations, reasonable price, and all the details we needed to go hassle-free! We have recommended them to our friends and would use them again!
