The Grand Tour

The book chronicles Tim Moore's adventurous journey across Europe, inspired by the original Grand Tour undertaken by Thomas Coryate in 1608. Dressed in a purple plush suit and driving a quirky Rolls-Royce, Moore retraces Coryate's steps through France, Italy, Germany, Switzerland, and Holland. His talent for finding himself in absurd situations, particularly during a comical escapade on Venice's canals, showcases his humor and storytelling prowess, making for a delightful and entertaining travel narrative that revives the charm of the Old World.
