Testimonials for Chris Patrick

"I had the good fortune of traveling with Chris Patrick on a guided tour of the major National Parks in Utah and Arizona. The trip was outstanding, thanks in large part to Chris’s exceptional skills as a tour leader.

Key Highlights of Chris’s Leadership:

  • Organization: While adhering to the itinerary, Chris incorporated thoughtful extras, such as a breathtaking backroads drive to a lesser-known park, showcasing his knack for enhancing the experience.

  • Planning: Chris ensured we arrived at Arches National Park at sunrise, allowing our group to complete the hike to the most popular viewing spot before the crowds and heat set in—an example of his careful attention to detail.

  • Flexibility: Our group was diverse in age and physical ability, but Chris created a tailored experience for everyone. He arranged special transportation to accommodate varying needs and seamlessly balanced the logistics of a group split between campers and those staying in motels.

  • A Spirit of Fun: Chris’s storytelling and humor kept the group entertained during drives between parks. He curated great music for the van and maintained a calm, even-keeled demeanor throughout the trip.

  • Sharing Knowledge: Chris’s deep understanding of the parks, including their history and connections to Native American lands, greatly enriched the experience. His insights into the terrain and culture added depth to every location we visited.

With 30 years of travel experience across more than 30 countries, I have participated in numerous guided tours and encountered a wide range of tour leaders. Chris stands out for his professionalism, respectfulness, and dedication to providing a memorable and enjoyable journey. Having Chris Patrick as your guide guarantees an outstanding travel experience."

"The year 2023 marked our 43rd reunion since nursing school (1977). Every year, the five of us choose a place to visit, and one of us takes the lead in planning. For 2023, we decided to explore Jackson Hole, Wyoming. On the recommendation of a friend, I contacted Chris to see if he would be willing to work with us. Since this was my year to plan the reunion, I wanted everything to be perfect.

Chris was amazing. Prior to the trip, we worked together on the plans. He proposed an itinerary and activities that suited our skill levels. He met us at the airport, and we began our five-day adventure. We all felt safe as he guided us through the parks, and he was very attuned to the personalities and needs of the group.

I would highly recommend his services to anyone planning an adventure. He has the flexibility to adapt to different groups, and his knowledge of the area enhances the experience. I’m glad I followed my friend’s recommendation to contact Chris.

Chris, I think you have a special skill for planning individual group adventures, like the one you created for us. You've traveled to so many places, and I’m sure you could lead many other fun adventures. I trust you’ll want to wordsmith this, so feel free to make any changes. I was trying to convey how well you fit in with our group and how comfortable we felt with you. We were able to relax and enjoy the trip without having to worry about driving or over-scheduling our days."
