Holiday Tours

Is your group looking for a fun way to kick off the holiday season and volunteer as a group this year? On this SerVacation Day Trip, you will enjoy a Volunteer Service Experience with Metropolitan Ministries or Salvation Army, a Scenic Boat Ride on the Hillsborough River including narration, Lunch on the Verandah of the Tampa Bay Hotel or dinner at a nearby restaurant, and the famous Victorian Christmas Stroll at the Plant Museum! Both daytime and evening events are possible.

130 years ago, railroad magnate H.B. Plant built the majestic Tampa Bay Hotel, overlooking the Hillsborough River & Tampa Bay, as a winter refuge welcoming wealthy families from the Northeast who wanted to experience the exotic beauty of Florida. Now it is your chance to re-discover it as well!

Let us invite your group to take a step back into Christmas past, a simpler time, a slower pace, a Victorian Christmas! Experience the true meaning of Christmas by taking the time to give back, “Making Memories that Matter!”
