A Hilarious 2002 Travelogue Retracing the 18th-Century English Grand Tour Across Europe

Armed with a 1780s guidebook by Thomas Nugent, travel writer Tim Moore attempts to replicate the traditional rite of passage once undertaken by 18th-century English aristocrats. Journeying from London through Paris, across the Alps, and down through Florence, Rome, and Naples, Moore contrasts historic upper-class travel with modern budget tourism.

His journal records budget train rides, overcrowded tourist hubs, and comedic cultural misunderstandings, matching 18th-century travel diaries against the chaotic realities of contemporary European transit.

Why You’ll Love This Book

Tim Moore combines self-deprecating humor with accessible European history in this funny travel memoir. A great read for fans of British travel writing, European history, and comedic travelogues.
