Beautiful Lake Constance in southern Germany

My passion lies in crafting unique trips to Europe, especially to Germany, where I lived for 8 years.

You have a picture in your mind about where you want to go. Are you hiking through a meadow in the shadow of the Alps? Are you dancing to the oompah bands during Oktoberfest with a liter of beer in your hand? Maybe you’re sipping wine on a slow-moving river cruise surrounded by castles or shopping the famous Nuremberg Christmas market. At Trish York Travel, I want to get you into that picture.

Maybe you don’t know where to begin. Or maybe you’ve spent several days researching and you’re overwhelmed. Whether you’re fulfilling your own dream or balancing the ideas of several traveling companions, talk to me. I’ll listen. And I’ll put my experience and connections to work designing a unique trip you’ll remember – long after you return.

Trish York Travel is a full-service travel company specializing in custom trips to Europe and beyond. When you work with me, you receive something special – a unique experience, created just for you. Whether you’re celebrating a milestone birthday or anniversary, researching your family’s European roots, or want to add a little more adventure to the start or end of a cruise, let me take care of the details. Planes, trains, castles, cruises, chocolate, wine, art, music, beer - share with me what you dream of experiencing and I’ll make it happen.

My passion lies in designing personalized itineraries in Germany, Austria and Switzerland. Often those itineraries include Italy or a river cruise through Europe. Prior to launching Trish York Travel, I spent more than 15 years in international public relations traveling the world, including eight years living in Düsseldorf, Frankfurt and Stuttgart, Germany. I have a local’s perspective – backed up by top-flight international travel partners and current contacts on the ground.

I continue to travel to Europe every chance I get. I want to experience a destination, hotel, cruise or tour before I recommend it to you. I know and love this part of the world – and want to share it with you.

These days, it’s easy to book travel on your own. But crafting a travel experience that gets every detail just right – and gives you the peace of mind to actually look forward to your trip? That’s still a job for a professional. Let me put my contacts, experience and passion to work, professionally crafting your custom European trip.

Fantastic!
Trish helped plan our trip from start to finish and that was not an easy task. We were limited by time and dates and specific things we wanted to do.<br/><br/>Every detail was worked out and every single step went smoothly.<br/><br/>Trish followed up regarding every detail and our trip was fantastic.<br/><br/>

Trip of a lifetime with my Mom
It was an absolute pleasure working with Trish to coordinate and arrange a trip for my Mom and I to Cambridge and then southern France. My mom and I were a bit all over the place in the early stages of planning this trip and Trish really helped us focus on one region in France so we could truly enjoy ourselves and maximize our stay. My mom wanted to take the train all the way from Cambridge to the south of France - it was so seamless and easy and I know neither my Mom nor I could have handled all those logistics on our own. Also, we had the most amazing hotel in Avignon, France that I still cannot get over - it was perfect. Our trip to the Provence Region of France was amazing! My Mom and I have now decided to visit Portugal in May and Trish is helping us plan that trip as well!

Experience of a Lifetime
Trish provided excellent recommendations and exceeded our expectations on following up with each hotel before arrival making sure all the details were taken care of. From the planning, booking, and execution of the trip it all went smooth. We could not have done it by ourselves.
