(Confessions of a Tour Leader)
- Crew Manual Rule No. 5: Crew must not engage in sexual activity on board the bus with passengers or fellow employees
- Crew Manual Rule No. 2: Learn all names on day one
- Crew Manual Rule No. 3: Don't get lost
But then, who follows rules?
Brian Thacker confesses all as he reveals the best (and worst) of 20 trips as a tour leader around Europe. He tells how he fed passengers horse meat spag bog, hamburgers made from breakfast cereal and roosters' testicles. How he left a passenger standing by the side of a motorway in France for three hours in his underwear clutching a purple toothbrush and how, along the way, he lost his driver, his cook, his bus, ten brightly coloured canal bikes, a large church and eventually his patience.
No all jokes, this book is also about European cities, their people and their history.
