The Ultimate Gift: Five People in Your Life Who Deserve the Trip of a Lifetime

by Courtney Wallace · December 16, 2020

Are you wanting to wow your family and friends with exceptional gifts this holiday season? Look no further than History Bites Tours! An experience that will surely be talked about for years to come, History Bites invites attendees to walk in the footsteps of the three greatest fantasy authors of all time, taking in world-famous sites and experiencing the most breathtaking scenery over eight days. Whether your giftees are fans of Harry Potter, The Lord of the Rings, or Narnia, they will be able to journey into locations such as the Scottish Highlands on the Hogwarts Express, Platform 9 3/4, or Oxford to explore famous filming locations. The eight-day tour will fly by – brooms not required.

This brand new, once-in-a-lifetime experience is not to be missed. Get ready to check these very deserving humans off of your holiday gift list (after checking it twice, of course)!

 


Keep reading to find out how you can win one of the limited spots on this extraordinary tour, valued at $2,799!


 

1. Bookworm

Have a big reader in the group? The tour’s host, Solomon Schmidt, lives and breathes history and published his first historical book at the age of 12. Solomon will share fascinating stories relating to the three authors’ lives and works, allowing attendees to step into their literary worlds and experience the sights, sounds, and smells that inspired them, as well as learning some little-known facts along the way.

2. Traveler

For those Muggles filled with wanderlust, treat them to a truly unique adventure as they document their journey throughout the United Kingdom. They’ll go beyond the tourist attractions to find hidden gems. Stonehenge, Edinburgh Castle, and Platform 9 3/4 are just some of the stops on this fantastic tour. Who knows – maybe they will also be inspired to write their own brilliant work of fiction.

3. Teacher

Teachers shape our lives and deserve the world in return. Your favorite teachers will step into the textbooks and assignments to experience lessons firsthand. Whether it’s seeing the rich history from generations past or strolling the historical streets of Oxford, they could use a break. They’ve been working hard both in person and virtually and could use some TLC.

5. Medical Professional

The tour boasts comfortable travel where the planning is taken out of your hands, meals are organized for you, and you experience the luxury of staying in 4- and 5-star hotels. Sounds good, huh? This tour will be exhilarating and informative but also relaxing, something our medical professionals both need and deserve at the moment.
