Welcome! I'm Patrick McGill, your dedicated travel expert specializing in custom-crafted journeys across Europe and the United Kingdom. My unwavering passion for exploration and deep appreciation for the rich and diverse cultures of these magnificent destinations ensure that your travel dreams become reality.


A Unique Perspective on European Travel:


Traveling to Europe is not merely about "getting away"— it's about "getting in touch" with the world and the people around us. Connecting with different cultures helps us better understand ourselves and enriches our lives. This is the true essence of European travel: making meaningful connections that leave a lasting impact.


A Lifelong Journey of Exploration:


My love for travel began with a three-year military assignment in Germany. This journey continued throughout a dynamic career in international business, allowing me to live, work, and travel extensively across Europe and the United Kingdom. Over the years, I've come to know and love these places deeply.


Experience the Magic:


Whether you're dreaming of the picturesque streets of Paris, the ancient wonders of Rome, or the mystical landscapes of the Scottish Highlands, I've been there and experienced it all. Each destination has deepened my understanding and my passion for these magical places.


Specializing in Tailored Itineraries:


We all have our reasons for making our way to Europe. Maybe it is art and architecture, or maybe it is history, heritage, or faith. Or maybe it is even to embrace the culture, landscape, and lifestyle of Europe. Whatever your reason may be, I will work with you to have the experience you seek.


Tailoring Your Ideal Getaway:


With Patrick McGill Travel, the focus is on creating seamless, stress-free experiences that are truly memorable. It’s not just about the journey; it's about the incredible value these enriching experiences bring to your life. Whether your passion is art, history, cuisine, ancestry, or simply soaking in the charm of historic towns and beautiful landscapes, I’m here to help. My in-depth knowledge of Europe’s vibrant culture, art, architecture, and cuisine ensures that every itinerary aligns with your unique desires and preferences.


The Where and Why will determine the "How":


I believe that what you want to experience will have a large impact on how you travel. So whether your travel plans include a river cruise, ocean cruise, escorted tour, or a custom independent travel, I will create the itinerary that best meets your needs and desires. 


Let’s Make Your Travel Dreams a Reality:


My goal is to help you make meaningful connections and ensure your European adventure is everything you've imagined and more. Let’s create priceless memories and enrich your life through extraordinary travel experiences.

Types of Travel

While my specialty is Europe and the United Kingdom, the types of travel I work with are diverse. That is because we all have different preferences in how we travel and our level of activity we have while travel. What is important is that you have the opportunity to experience your trip in the way that is most comfortable and meaningful for you. I have experienced river cruises, ocean cruises, motorcoach tours and independent travel, and all of them offer benefits. 

That is why I take extra care to research all of these options and to evaluate each of the major providers in each of these categories, and I will take extra care to provide you with the type of travel that is a best fit for you.

Long Weekend in Paris
Mr. McGill recently helped us plan a long weekend to Paris; with the itinerary focusing around the Eiffel Tower and Disneyland Paris. Our family had never traveled to this area of Europe before, so we appreciated Mr. McGill's knowledge of the area as well as his patience with our many questions!
