I love to travel so in my partially retired life I decided to adapt my passion for travel along with 25 years of experience in Travel & Tourism to create Trips by Patty.
I received a BA in American History from UNC-Chapel Hill. Not knowing what I was going to do with that degree, I started working as a desk clerk at a hotel in Raleigh. I enjoyed the hotel business and the career path began. Hotel operations and sales, Convention Center operations and marketing, destination marketing with a Convention Visitors Bureau and even a stint as a tour guide. What happened to the history degree? Well, many times when I am escorting my trips I share the history of the destinations we visit.
It's a great feeling to take your career skills and adapt them to your own small business. I love what I do and hope you'll join me on a trip one day!

We had a great time. The lights were amazing to see. Brookgreen Gardens is top notch. They greeted us with brochures showing a map. We ate dinner at the Harvest Restaurant. The service and food were good. The bus ride was easy as usual with Donnie driving. Having Cathy and Penny as trip host was perfect.

Should leave earlier than 2:30 maybe 1:30 to get more time

My gf and I had an enjoyable trip to Brookgreen Gardens to see the Night of 1,000 lights. Donnie (bus driver) safely and efficiently transported us to and fro, enabling us to just enjoy the ride! Patty and her team were great! Would go on another trip with her!

Wonderful trip! Patty, together with her two guides, Bobby on Day 2, and Mark on Day 3, tied together all intricate history details of the Biltmore family, and their relationship to the King Tut exhibit. Patty's assistant, Doris, made the bus time go quickly with fun games, snacks, and movies. This is my third overnight trip, and all have been "spot on". I have been very interested to learn about my new state, and Patty has been instrumental in that regard. I look forward to 2026!

We had a great tine. Travel was easy with a very good bus driver. The purpose of the trip was to see the Biltmore House Christmas display and the King Tut exhibit. Our only constructive criticism was that there should have been more time alloted to see both of these venues. We felt a little rushed at the end of each, and could have spent more time there.

So enjoyed the Annie Leibovitz trip! This was my first over night trip. Patty and team are pro's, with friendly, and considerate, "can do" attitudes. Top notch planning and execution. Great hotel! Looking forward to my next Bryson City Train and Biltmore trips!
