    Travel Insurance

    One of the most misunderstood and under-utilized tools we offer our travelers is travel insurance. When making an informed decision to include insurance as part of your travel arrangements, it can save you money, headaches and even life & limb. Ask us about travel insurance to see if it's right for you.

    At Pat and Mike's Travel, we custom-design and escort small group tours around the world. We've had more than 25 years of experience putting together extraordinary and unique small group tours (often between 6 and 26 people) to some of the world's most unique, beautiful, and engaging destinations.

    We invite you to explore our upcoming destinations. Use the links on the right. Let yourself dream a bit as you read through the itineraries. There isn't a trip listed here that we aren't excited to share with you. Won't you join us? And if you have an idea of where you'd like to go, let us know!

    Local Operators & Guides

    How do we do it? By relying on our trusted network of local guides and land operators, we tap into each location from a local's point of view. Salma, our terrific guide in Egypt.Think about it: Would you rather take a foreigner's advice about where to go and what to see? Or would you rather be led by a trained, knowledgeable local whose passion is sharing all his or her country has to offer?

    Do we go a bit off the beaten track? You bet! While everyone wants to see the Giza Pyramids in Egypt (and we do see them on our Egypt trip), our local guide also knows the best cafe with exceptional views for that afternoon break. And understands that the pleasure of an Egyptian coffee and pistachio pastry is an important part of the journey, too.

    Pace and Flow

    Want to spend eight hours on the bus? Neither do we! We have learned over the years that the pace and flow of an itinerary is crucial to a successful trip. We won't herd you hour after hour, day after day.

    We believe that having free time to explore on your own is a critical part of traveling. We build in plenty of free time for you to wander, shop, and dine on your own. Plus, we understand that a balance between quiet luxury and bustle, urban and rural, beach and mountain makes a trip truly special. For example: Two days in the beautiful and rugged Tunisian mountains are followed by two days of beachfront pampering. Mmm... wish we were there right now!

    Deep Knowledge and Experience

    We love to travel. It's our job. It's our passion. It's our life. To paraphrase the famous quote, we haven't been everywhere yet, but it's on our list. We seek adventure, new locations, and new friends wherever we go.

    We're here to share that experience with you. We have developed a loyal band of travelers who have come to appreciate the Pat and Mike's approach: Greet people with smiles and open minds; in turn, be treated to hospitality wherever we go.

    When hiccups do occur, we have the knowledge to handle the unexpected. Missed flights, illness, lost luggage, and so on... we've handled all these situations. Let us take care of the bumps in the road so you can greet your destination with a smile.
