BRAND NEW SERIES FROM WADDELL MEDIA FOR RTÉ

– 16 Irish tourists
– 6 major European destinations
– 1 unique tour guide - Francis Brennan

… an epic 12-day journey from Barcelona to Rome …
what could possibly go wrong?

With his 5 star hotel experience there’s a lot of pressure on Francis Brennan to get it right. But he’s never been a tour guide and even armed with local knowledge and a rather impressive tour banner, he’s way outside his comfort zone – there are 16 demanding tourists to keep in check, soaring temperatures, an Italian coach driver, fistfuls of facts and figures and a jam-packed 24/7 schedule that leaves no room for error.

Will Francis keep the group happy and together? Is he destined to excel as a tour guide, or should he stick to the day job? He may cut a dash in his Panama hat but is he tailor-made for travel? Is this a mission too far?

Along the way – amazing architecture, aqua-zorbing, sunburn, pickpockets and tapas – and that’s just Barcelona….

Follow the adventure in this 6-part brand new series featuring Barcelona, Carcassonne, Cannes, the Italian Lakes, Tuscany and Rome.

Now in post-production.

Brand new series starts Sunday 13 November 2011.
