Equipped with little more than a dusty 18th-century travel guide and a healthy dose of naiveté, Tim Moore sets off to recreate the aristocratic Grand Tour of Europe. His hilarious journey, spanning from the bustling streets of Paris to the majestic Alps and down to the ancient wonders of Rome, contrasts the romanticized historical accounts with the chaotic realities of modern travel. Moore's witty observations expose the cultural clashes and logistical nightmares of a modern-day Grand Tour, offering a fresh perspective on European history and culture. With self-deprecating humor, Moore transforms his misadventures into a laugh-out-loud exploration of travel writing, historical European travel, and the enduring allure of the Grand Tour. This humorous travelogue is perfect for those seeking European adventures, historical travel insights, or simply a witty escape.
Moore's comedic genius shines through every mishap, guaranteeing a delightful read from start to finish. The narrative seamlessly blends historical context with present-day observations, creating a rich and engaging tapestry of European life. Readers will relish Moore's unique perspective on travel, history, and the absurdity of cultural differences.
