Patrick Lauer

Naples , FL Travel Agent

(6 reviews)
My passion for travel started with a backpack, a one-way ticket to New Zealand, and no real plan beyond seeing where the journey would take me. That journey eventually led me to Sydney, Australia, where I spent the next year and a half building a life on the other side of the world. I've spent extended time living in Argentina and Spain, improving my Spanish through immersion and experiencing destinations not just as a visitor, but through the lens of everyday life. Along the way, I've traveled as a backpacker, expat, solo traveler, road tripper, hostel guest, and luxury traveler, giving me a unique perspective on what makes a trip truly memorable. Travel has introduced me to lifelong friends, unforgettable experiences, and perspectives I never would have gained otherwise. As a travel advisor, I combine firsthand experience with personalized planning to create meaningful journeys tailored to your interests, travel style, and goals. I look forward to planning your next adventure.

Great trip, great recommendations

Reviewed By travelfan1234 - Honolulu, HI | Traveled to Sydney | Australia | Australia & New Zealand

Patrick suggested we visit Sydney for Mardi Gras for our first Australia vacation. He was so helpful with recommendations for things to do, eat, see -- we had an amazing time and can't wait to go back!

So Grateful for Patrick!!

Reviewed By Wendi - Chicago | Traveled to Sydney | Australia | Australia & New Zealand

When my husband and I were traveling to Sydney, Patrick played a huge role in helping us plan our itinerary and making the most of the week we had there. His firsthand knowledge of the city was invaluable and that of a local. We told him we wanted a unique experience and not a typical tourist route, and that is exactly what he delivered and more! What stood out the most was his ability to balance major sites with local hidden knowledge that we never would have found on our own! Our trip was seamless and stress free thanks to Patrick. We were really able to focus on enjoying our short time rather than worrying about logistics. I would highly recommend Patrick to anyone looking for an energetic, personable and professional agent, he’s the best!!

Sydney Australia

Reviewed By Randy - Chicago | Traveled to Sydney | Australia | Australia & New Zealand

Had the pleasure of having Patrick plan our itinerary around Sydney for the short week my wife and I had. We knew as soon as we stepped of the plane that we were in for a treat. His personality really made the experience that much better, and knew how to traverse the city like a local. Can't recommend him enough!

Unforgettable trip to Buenos Aires + Patagonia

Reviewed By Amurt89 - Detroit, MI | Traveled to Argentina | South America

My wife and I were traveling to Argentina for a 5-year anniversary trip, and Patrick was the absolute best travel agent I could've asked for. He helped us find the best hotels and restaurants in Buenos Aires (Guerrin and Niño Gordo, for example!), and even more importantly, made us feel very comfortable traveling to Chalten and Calafate (where we hiked Patagonia!). Thank you so much for an unforgettable trip, Patrick!

Choosing him was the move

Reviewed By Ben Bowman - Honolulu, HI | Traveled to Sydney | Australia | Australia & New Zealand

Patrick was a subject matter expert. Period. He helped us craft an itinerary, choose restaurants, get cheaper tickets, and find good flights. We even went to visit the pub where he used to work, which made the trip feel less like tourism and more like visiting an old friend. 100% recommend him.

Excelente experiencia

Reviewed By Martin Rios - Buenos Aires | Traveled to Miami | Florida | USA

Patrick hizo que todo fuera fácil desde el primer momento. Siempre estuvo disponible para responder dudas, organizó cada detalle con profesionalismo y nos ayudó a disfrutar el viaje sin preocupaciones. Sin dudas lo recomiendo y volvería a viajar con su asesoramiento. ¡Muchas gracias, Patrick!
