Phil coordinated our journey through Spain, Portugal, and Greece this past summer. From the culinary scene and the mix of guided tours Phil created a seamlessly fun and relaxing adventure! He made our experience feel personal and genuine.

Me and my brother and sister all use Phil for all our travel needs. He always provides the best guidance and all plans are right on point. Never a complaint or any issues. Whether for a cruise or a trip to Europe or an all-inclusive resort in the Caribbean, Phil has great suggestions and great tips from his personal experience. Highly recommend Phil and P&H Travel.

Working with Phil and P&H has been a rarely exceptional experience. As compared to all other travel events. Ease of doing business is great. The service and follow through were uber-professional! I have recommended them to many friends who have worked with Phil and company and they have all had similar opinions in booking through them.

It is such a pleasure doing business with Phil. Everything can be done via email. We give him our destination of choice, budget and time frames. He gives us a few options and it's booked. It's that easy. We are looking forward to booking many more vacations with him. With a lifetime of experience, you can't go wrong with Phil.

Phil is the BEST travel agent ever. We have used him for 35+ years. You are in great hands and he knows EVERYTHING about travel and customizes to your likes and needs. We have traveled many places in Europe, Carribbean, Mexico, and United States.

We have been working with Phil as our travel agent for over 21 years. We have recommended many friends and family to him.. We would not use anyone else...

My husband and I have had the pleasure of working with Phil for over 20 years, and he continues to exceed our expectations with every trip. His depth of knowledge about destinations, accommodations, and travel experiences is exceptional, and he consistently provides thoughtful recommendations tailored to our preferences. Phil has an incredible ability to anticipate what we’ll enjoy, often introducing us to new destinations or experiences we might not have discovered on our own. For example, the most recent trip Phil planned for us was a Nile River cruise and tour of Egypt - it was amazing! We especially appreciate that he listens carefully, offers honest insight, and always prioritizes what’s best for us. When we have a destination in mind, Phil goes above and beyond to find the best options and value, ensuring that every trip is memorable. After two decades of working together, we trust his expertise completely and would highly recommend Phil!

I wish we could give 10 stars. We’ve used Phil for years. He always has a driver meet us at the airport upon landing, a driver meet us at the hotel for the return trip. And a driver to take us between hotels when we break up our trips. He has never booked in anything less than an excellent hotel. In London he booked in a central hotel near a main subway station and mapped out all the sights we wanted to see. I thought I would never use a public subway or trolley (Switzerland) but he maps everything out and it becomes so easy. Right down to where to get the commuter pass. He arranges tours for us and even suggests how much if any foreign currency to bring. He has the knowledge of proper tipping and gratuity amounts. He even suggests local restaurants in places he’s been. And he has been lots of places. I never would have imagined that Iceland would be my favorite trip ever but he laid it out and it was amazing. It’s so relaxing after an overnight flight to get your luggage and when you exit the secure area of the airport, a driver is standing on the other side of the door with your name on a clip board. Has never put us in an area where we felt unsafe. Always takes my call or calls right back if he is with a client. Put us right at the Disney Park in France. Arranged us a Globus tour to Normandy Beach. Mediterranean cruises right down to the flights. And he even advised me that big or small he does it all. Right down to a hotel for a couple nights if I am driving somewhere for a wedding. As for our last trip to France, there was an upcoming one day strike for airports. He called us to assure us of our travel concerns. Luckily it was days after we landed and days before we departed. But he was right there every step of the way. I truly appreciate him

from the first contact Phil and his team were there. Answered all our questions, made excellent recommendations based on their experiences . Everything went so smoothly, Phil has traveled extensively making his knowledge invaluable. Top notch team too

Dedicated to customer service. Knowledgeable about travel industry and changes happening that impact customer. Value driven.

We had heard about Mexico City as a cultural and food mecca. We have been working with Phil and his team since 2010, booking trips all across Europe and the world so it was an obvious choice to continue to contact and book with a trusted and educated travel agent. From the booking process to arrival to the airport in Mexico City, then the shuttle to the deluxe hotel on the main avenue downtown was spot on, and with a great buffet breakfast included to start the day. Location was key, hotel staff were very accommodating and polite, helpful. Recommendations for restaurants and local tours didn't disappoint. The Frieda Kahlo Museum, the Anthropological Museum, and Xochimilco(the Venice of Mexico) were phenomenal. We booked a bike ride and saw and experienced the wonderful and scenic neighborhoods of the city. Thank you P&H!

We began our travels journeys with Phil in 2019 and have enjoyed every trip he has recommended since. He always gives us great suggestions for travel itineraries with fun and exciting tours! We joined Phil’s group for our recent 14 day land and cruise trip to Alaska in June 2025 and had a fabulous trip! I highly recommend reaching out to Phil for your next travel adventure! P.S., he’s a really nice guy too????

I have traveled to many countries and have used Phil exclusively as my travel agent. Each time I travel, Phil helps me pick the right place to stay, as he has traveled extensively and has first hand knowledge of many destinations. He then makes all the arrangements, including airline reservations and transfers from the airports to the hotels. Phil makes the process of traveling as stress free as possible. All I can say is - Don't leave home without talking to Phil first!!

Have taken numerous trips through Phil as a travel agent, even traveled with him on a cruise. He’s ALWAYS helpful, knowledgeable, informative, receptive and fun. But what endeared him to me and made him my friend was a medical emergency I had while traveling in Italy when I had to end my vacation to get home immediately to see an orthopedic surgeon resulting in surgery. Phil worked “magic” to change all my plans, reservations, flights as we communicated through the night.

Our trip was handled expertly, from flight going to flight home. Once in Paris, our hotel was pre-arranged along with wonderful, recommended tours in the city. Our voyage to Normandy and back was amazing. Phil gave us expert advice for the entire trip based on personal experience. That's the difference with P&H, the agents have had experience everywhere and know what to expect. This is only one of many very successful adventures Phil has arranged for us.

I recommend Phil to everyone I know that travels. I would never not use a travel agent, and Phil is the best. He is always looking for the best prices, the best locations, the best of everything. And he knows his stuff because he travels so much to know what he is talking about.

I have known Phil Patterson for over 30 years, and he has always delivered spectacular service! With Phil, you do not have to worry about unfinished details, non-booked tours, missed dining reservations, incomplete hotel details, or forgotten call backs. As excellent as his service is, his wonderful personality makes it a pleasure to work with him. I will trust him with any trip planning.....forever!! Pat OLeary

Phil and his team are the best…that saved our vacation during a snowstorm!!!

Phil is amazing. We only travel when he books trips for us as his advise and expertise is simply the best. We’ve even traveled with Phil and there have been so many extra touches that make these trips so special.

Phil has booked more than 20 trips for us starting in 2010. He’s friendly, efficient and shows attention to detail (including transfers, insurance, activities, perfect hotel locations, etc.). We appreciate that he doesn’t just book a trip, but he draws upon all his years as a traveler to put together a complete experience. Also when problems have arisen (airline weather cancellations, cruise ship diversions, etc.) Phil and his team have always saved the day with solutions.
