Your Escorted Tours Travel Specialist

Ireland's Cliffs of Moher
Ireland's Cliffs of Moher

Have you ever considered an escorted tour? They have a lot of advantages. First, they have already arranged your itinerary and your accommodations. Second, they know the most popular places to visit. Third, they remove the stress of trying to navigate in an unfamiliar area, or where you have to drive on the left side of the road. 


My general advice is, if you have never been to a specific location, you are concerned about getting around in that area, or you don't necessarily want to be on your own, then an escorted tour makes a lot of sense. 


But picking the right escorted tour for you can be quite complex. Each tour operator can have several different variations. For example, one popular tour operator offers 23 different tours in a year that include England. For just one of those tours, they have 31 different tour dates. So, that can mean over 700 options just with that tour operator. 


And tour operators vary in the number of people on a tour. Some as low as 16. Others will have a capacity of 55. They will also differ in what you can see and do on these tours. Some of them will offer opportunities that may not even be possible just traveling on your own.


And, escorted tours have another advantage. Compared to other types of travel, they have many more options in pricing. 


So how do you pick the one that is right for you? That is why I am here. I will listen to what you want, and do the research to find the option that is right for you. And, I will make all of the necessary arrangements on your behalf.

My Travel Stories

The Best of Ireland and Scotland

A Coach Tour of Ireland and Scotland made a lot of sense. First, I had never taken a motorcoach escorted tour, so I wanted to experience it firsthand. Second, we wanted to go to Ireland, having never been there, but we were concerned about the narrow roads and left-hand driving. And, we love Scotland...Read more.

My Reviews

First Time Cruisers
Informed, helpful, available. Patrick worked with the cruiseline to get us a reasonably-priced package for a very nice trip. He consistently checked on us and on our travel plans. When we had questions, we had no trouble reaching him. Patrick is easy to work with, and takes time to understand our needs and wishes. We look forward to travel planning with him again.

40th Anniversary Dream Trip - Spain and Morocco
Patrick put an itinerary together after listening carefully to our needs, wishes, and budget. He was thorough and flexible as we tweaked a few things, making excellent recommendations we had not considered.
While overseas we ran into weather problems that interfered with a scheduled ferry. Pat was available right away to adjust the time of the ferry so we would not miss a travel day.
Super nice and attentive guy!

Great trip!
We had a great experience working with Pat. He is very professional, knowledgeable, thorough, and helpful. He followed up and promptly responded to all of our questions regarding our cruise to Alaska which were numerous as we had never been on a cruise or a trip to Alaska!
