Kevin McCloud's Grand Tour of Europe

Based on a four-part television series, Kevin McCloud's Grand Tour of Europe is a behind-the-stairs tour of Europe's high spots with some rather spicy detours into continental lowlife. The author proves himself a masterly companion as he peeks behind famous facades and ventures to the wrong side of town on his myth-busting romp through France, Germany, Greece, Italy, and Turkey. It's an irreverent travel guide like no other.
