Season 8

The coach stops in the Champagne region of France to allow the tourists to visit a vineyard and sample the local produce.

After a night's heavy drinking, one tourist is in no mood for today's task: cooking and eating snails. Later, the tourists go kayaking, but spend more time under the water than on it.

The passengers are joined by a preacher and her husband as they celebrate their departure from France and enter Germany. The day's excursions include a visit to a car museum, but some of the travellers lack enthusiasm for the nation's engineering. They also dress formally for an afternoon watching horse racing, but one couple's enjoyment of bright outfits and shouting meets the disapproval of their fellow tourists.

Brendan sends two contestants home early as he aims to bring an end to the late-night partying. Stunned by their team leader's actions, the remaining tourists travel into the Black Forest for a day of archery and fun on a lake.

One couple tell Brendan they are not enjoying their holiday anymore, so he tries to keep the rest of the group happy by moving the coach swiftly on to Switzerland. There the tourists take a trip around the Rheine Falls and enjoy an afternoon at a farm, with two new arrivals and some unusual games.

No freebie is left uneaten as as the group heads to a Swiss chocolate factory. In the afternoon the Brits throw themselves into an indoor skydiving lesson.

The Brits demonstrate how not to cook as they attempt to create a local delicacy in a Lichtenstein kitchen. Later, Brendan sends the tourists up into the trees and on a rope course.

The tourists are uncertain which country they have woken up in, and Brendan Sheerin sends them to a pretzel factory in Germany, where some of the travellers make rude snacks. Meanwhile, inappropriate remarks prove costly for one couple at voting time.

There are tantrums from some of the tourists, and Brendan organises a party in a brewery.

Its childish giggles all round as the Brits head up a suggestively names mountain in Germany. But the giggles turn to cheers as the group get to tobaggan back down.

The group try their hand at classical Mozart singing, before attempting a lesson in break dancing.

A married couple who are antique dealers join the party on their second day in Austria. The group take part in a cook-off, followed by a chariot race at a local horse racing track.

The coach travelled east to the Austrian capital Vienna where they were introduced to new couple Tina and Monica and then took part in a gold leaf gilding lesson where the group applied gold leaf to the frames of mirrors. Later on, the group went to a fun fair.

The coach heads in to Hungary where Brendan lines up a karate lesson and some wake boarding for the holiday makers.

In Budapest the group experience a nuclear fallout drill at a slightly strange museum. During a trip to a thermal spa in the afternoon Brendan has a close encounter with a masseuse.

The group prepares for a day of fantasy and role play in the old kingdom of Slovakia, picking up two fair maidens waiting for them along the way.

The group goes white-water rafting and then summer bobsleighing in Bratislava. If that isn't enough tension, later on they must vote for who should leave the tour party next.

The coach party is joined by two West Country salsa dancers as it makes its way through the Czech Republic. The Brits get a taste of the high life as they learn to use jumping stilts, before spending an afternoon down a local cave.

In Ostrava Brendan introduces the group to a castle abseil followed by some grass skiing. Later on one couple's past comments come back to haunt them at vote time.

As the coach enters Poland the Brits tour a brewery before Brendan takes his happy travellers for a lesson in local dancing.

The coach arrives in Krakow and the tourists visit the local salt mine before exploring the city on bicycles.

Brendan wants the tourists to get a taste of Polish life, so he leads them straight to the kitchen for a lesson in sausage soup and beetroot salads.

It's costume time and Brendan gets his Brits dressed up as gnomes in Wroclaw, Poland, as they hunt for the city's collection of little statues.

The tourists spend the morning at a Polish pottery lesson and the afternoon on a riverboat trip in Germany.

With only a few days of the current tour to go, the last yellow card vote of the trip is due. Paranoia has set in within the group, with nobody wanting to fall at the final hurdle.

In Berlin, the Brits go straight to remnants of the Berlin Wall for a graffiti lesson. The last activity of the trip is cocktail making, where the tourists raise a glass to reaching the end of the road. But who'll receive the toast as the group chooses their winners in the last vote?

As they pack their bags for home, Brendan and the Brits take a moment to reflect on all the fun they've had over the last six weeks. Having driven through 10 different countries, and having welcomed over 40 holidaymakers on board, there's been no shortage of hilarity and tantrums on the coach's latest adventure.
