CHE BELLA BOOK CLUB AND TOURS

Reading stories about diverse people and different places offers a degree of understanding. Stories teach a bit about the character of your destination, create a mental picture and offer a small sense of belonging. If you've read a well-known book or two about the place you're visiting, you have a leg up, like a cultural passport to your destination … you'll find ways to understand the places you travel through the eyes of authors who have gone there before you, as well as open your eyes and hearts to the people who live there now."

- Terri Peterson Smith, author of Off the Beaten Page

Picture it

  Join the Che Bella Tours Book Club or gather your own book club together for this exciting project. Commit to a series of books that focus on one country, each month covering a different subject about that country. Then prepare for a trip of a lifetime that will transport you to another place and time. Forge a deeper connection with literature, the world around you and most importantly, with the members of your
​book club. 
Picture

Read It

We have prepared a comprehensive reading package that sets the stage for an exciting literary trip. Every month your book club reads and discusses one of the books on our extensive reading list. Of course, feel free to add any additional books you may want to include. You will also receive movie and television suggestions and the detailed itinerary of your literary trip so you can anticipate
​your journey.

Live It

It's time to travel! Think how different your reading experience will be in the context of an upcoming trip. The itinerary is specifically designed to bring literature alive as you experience “in person” the places, scenes, characters, history, authors and cuisine featured in the books.
Enjoy this rich, cultural experience while your Tour Director takes care of the details. 

Current Book Club Destinations:

LONDON AND THE ENGLISH COUNTRYSIDE. Including travel throughout London, Hampton Court, Bletchley Park, Oxford, Stratford-upon-Avon and the Yorkshire Moors. See our itinerary for a taste of what's to come.

Che Bella's 2020/21 Book Club has wrapped up and will be traveling to London and the English Countryside in June, 2022.

LITERARY FRANCE. Paris, Provence and the French Riviera. Coming in fall 2022!

Our Book Club Tour Package includes:

Read it: Your book club will receive a comprehensive reading list, discussion guides to each month's book and your travel itinerary for your desired travel dates. Your book club will commit to a year of self-run monthly discussions.

Live it: Enjoy an exciting journey where we'll experience the places, scenes, characters, history, authors and cuisine featured in the books, including:
• All accommodations priced for double-occupancy with included breakfast.
• All transportation
• Private tours with skip-the-line reservations
• Cuisine featured in the stories at restaurants where you pick from the menu

• Evenings of theater
• Visits to the homes and haunts of the characters and authors
• A dedicated Tour Director who will take care of all of the details
• Lots of great information to help you prepare for your trip

 
The per person price of your travel will depend upon the number of members you have in your group. Spouses and traveling companions of book club members are welcome on the trip. Once your travel group size is established, we will price out your package. At that time, a $500 non-refundable deposit will be required from every book club member to reserve their spot on the tour.

 Let's get started on the first chapter of
​your book club tour.
