The Gran Tour by Ben Aitken

The Gran Tour by Ben Aitken

One millennial, six coach trips, one big generation gap.

Both moving and hilarious -- Spectator * Books of the Year *
A tale of gloriously eccentric British pensioners [and] a light-hearted travelogue.. [but] so much more than that as well. The pen portraits of his fellow holidaymakers are wonderful. And boy, can he write. -- Daily Mail * Book of the Week *
Funny and moving ... the type of gentle travel writing that will leave you aching to visit a local seaside resort. -- Stylist
