About Us

Traveling - it leaves you speechless, then turns you into a storyteller.   Ibn Battuta

Hello,

 

I'm Pat McCool, owner, and operator of Global Affinity Tours. With over 20 years of experience living and traveling abroad, I established my company - Brazilian Travel Adventures in 2002 offering group tours to Brazil. Since then, the scope of our services has expanded to include private tours for Sports Teams, Academic Groups, and other Affinity Groups to destinations throughout Europe, South America, Central America, Australia, and New Zealand.

 

We are ready and eager to work with your group to design an inspiring and memorable trip based on your specific wishes and budget. Through thoughtful planning and attentive service, our fully-customizable trips deliver a balance of sightseeing, cultural encounters, athletic competitions, academic components (e.g. lectures, site visits), as well as free time.  

 

Our all-inclusive pricing typically includes the following. However, we are always happy to revise to meet your group's budget, specific goals, and wishes.
 

• Roundtrip Airfare •

• All hotel / lodge accommodations •

• Full-time professional tour leader, licensed guides •

• Daily hotel breakfast •

• One or two additional meals per day •

• All ground transportation on-location •

• Guided highlights tours •

• Scheduling and costs related to 'friendly' sports games •

• Community service project opportunities / exchanges with local student groups •

• Academic activities / coursework, for-credit or non-credit itineraries •

I look forward to having the opportunity to work with you and discuss how Global Affinity Tours can organize a travel adventure for your special group!
 

Best Regards,

Pat
