The group arrive in Normandy, France on day two of the new Coach Trip, where they make a moving visit to a World War II museum, and then enjoy an archery lesson.

It's day three, and the coach stops in Le Mans, home of the famous 24 hour motor race. But forget 24 hours, the group barely last 24 minutes before being kicked off the racecourse for dangerous driving.

The party arrive in Paris for some horse riding, and then a can-can lesson, which one couple refuses to take part in.

The coach rolls into Chablis on day six for some adrenaline-fuelled rock-climbing, which the group love, and some fine wine tasting which is less of a success. At the vote one of the original couples get their marching orders.

Despite a fun morning touring Dijon, the group are getting bored of France and dreary afternoon making local mustard doesn't help.

A new couple join the party as they head for Switzerland, where one tour member has a nasty fall on the ice. and another has a nasty strop at a medieval castle tour.

It's day nine, and a scheduled trip up a mountain is ruined by bad weather. Later two tourists get really drunk and make fools of themselves at lunch.

The tour visits Milan, where the group pretend to be David Beckham at the San Siro stadium, and then head to the city's cathedral, where Brendan has a row with a local guide.

The coach pulls up on the shores of Lake Garda, picking up two new tourists, who make it clear they plan to break up the existing voting alliance.

Things take a dramatic turn on the way to Vicenza, when a fight breaks out onboard the coach, leading to an instant red card for one couple.

After arriving in Venice, the group enjoy some gondola lessons before chilling out at the beach. But tensions rise at the vote when they can't decide who should get the yellow card.

During the journey from Venice to Ljubljana, it emerges that two tourists have had a big row overnight - and there is an atmosphere on the coach.

The group arrive in the Slovenian city of Maribor, where they have fun dancing on a river raft and rope swinging above a valley. Brendan also has his feathers ruffled by a local guide who is more popular than him.

The tourists try milking cows on a farm in Styria, Austria. Brendan enjoys the visit to the local chocolate factory. Later, there is another surprise exit from the trip.

In Zagreb, Croatia, an edible flower-making class ends in disgrace for three of the boys. A visit to the zoo goes better and two new couples join the trip.

Brendan leads the group on a day of country pursuits in Slavonski Brod, Croatia. A new 'celebrity' couple join the tour, and settle in with the group instantly.

In Nis in Serbia the group are joined by a new couple whose relationship raises a few eyebrows. Two of the remaining original tourists get a nasty surprise at vote time.

The group head further east into Serbia, and to a world heritage site ranked as the 77th wonder of the world. But the party are a bit underwhelmed. Later, at a local spa, Luke and his girlfriend's mum Trish are suitably embarrassed when they end up having a topless massage in the same room.

Two new couples join the coach as the group heads into Bulgaria, where they enjoy a pottery class and a traditional bagpipe lesson.

The group are still in Bulgaria, where they learn how to cook local delicacies such as cow's brain. After an afternoon of medieval fighting, the battle continues at the next vote.

The tour arrives in Turkey, where a trip to a traditional steam bath proves a bit too hands-on for some of the party's liking.

In Istanbul, a couple of lively lads join the tour and upset some of the veterans of the party. The group visit the famous Blue Mosque and the Grand Bazaar. And at the vote another couple fall victim of an emerging alliance.

In Istanbul the group go on a boat jaunt across the Bosphorus to the Asian side of the city. But Dan makes a scene which irritates Paul.

The group head south along the Turkish coast to the posh resort of Tekirdag for a golf lesson followed by some olive oil wrestling with some beefy locals.

The tour party arrives in Rome. After a session in leather at gladiator school, two of the recent additions to the group get a nasty surprise at the vote.

In Malta Brendan ditches the coach in favour of a vintage tour bus and the group pay a visit to a honey farm where they meet some fiesty bees.

The group head up Mount Etna in Sicily, Europe's highest active volcano, where a huge row erupts over lunch about the behaviour of two of the younger tourists.

The group get a real taste of Tunisia as they prepare goat head stew, which most of them can't stomach. Later the tourists have a belly dancing lesson.

The tourists spend the morning in the desert near Nefta in Tunisia, thrashing around on quad bikes, and then take a turn handling snakes and scorpions at a visit to an oasis.

At the final vote, the group chooses their favourite pair of tourists - who receive another coach holiday as a prize!
