Grescoe has a style of writing that works well to give the reader a glimpse of the way people travel, eat, and live while touring that tends to stick directly with historical trends. Similar to most Grescoe works, it tends to slow down upon examination of some of the historical aspects of his travels, but altogether provides an informative and entertaining read.

Another irreverent, fun book by Grescoe. In this book, he explores tourism and the history of tourism, following various tourist routes and ways of travel. I didn't like this one as much as the Devil's Picnic, but he's still one of my favourite authors at the moment.
