From Book Clubs to Broadway: How to Match Your Hobby to the Perfect World Tour

For book lovers, literary travel brings stories to life in vibrant ways. Holiday Vacations Group Travel Program offers tours globally, allowing you to find the ultimate setting for your club's favorite genre. 

​You can wander through the historic streets of Edinburgh, a designated UNESCO City of Literature, or dive into classical history and Renaissance literature by exploring the historic streets of Rome and Florence with knowledgeable local guides.

These specialized journeys allow you to discuss your favorite chapters while sitting in the very locales where authors penned them.

Theater fans know that nothing matches the electric energy of a live performance. Turning your love for the stage into a vacation connects you directly with the history and evolution of performing arts. Holiday Vacations New York Christmas tour includes George Balanchine’s The Nutcracker™ at Lincoln Center. The New York City Ballet delivers a breathtaking production featuring a famous 41-foot growing Christmas tree and a 62-piece orchestra. 

On the other side of the pond, our Timeless England, Wales & Scotland tour includes a pre-theatre dinner before attending the world’s longest-running play, The Mousetrap. Holiday Vacations handles all the ticketing and logistics, allowing you to witness world-class productions and enjoy premier attractions carefully curated by an expert destination team.

The alignment of hobbies and travel extends far beyond books and plays. For those who love photography, nature, and the great outdoors, scheduling a seasonal autumn getaway provides the ultimate visual feast. Holiday Vacations offers spectacular fall tours that capture the brilliant colors of the changing seasons in the United States.

​​If your group wants to witness the gold and crimson blankets of the northeast, you can choose the New England Fall Foliage tour, a 9-day adventure that includes New Hampshire's White Mountains, a walk through the lives of historical figures and renowned creatives at Hildene, and concludes in New York City with a guided tour, Broadway musical, and sightseeing cruise. 

Alternatively, you can book the Autumn in New England tour. This 13-day tour includes a cross-over to Canada to view the Niagara Falls along with a scenic 1000 Islands cruise and Boston Tea Party experience. Keep track of the calendar, as the final payment dates range between July 1st through the 20th, depending on the tour’s departure date.
