SOLVED. Travel Fiction, journey of a group of strangers across europe on a tour. [s]

[Som]

I remember reading this book in 2010 but i am sure it was published before that. The book revolves around a group of people who are headed on a vacation/tour across europe. I cant remember correctly but I am guessing the tour operator was a female who has a fling with one of the people on the tour. I have been searching for this book but cannot find it. I am also entirely not sure if this book is similar to 'Without Reservations'. Does without reservations have a travel group? Please help. thank you :)

Som, do you mean the non-fiction book Without Reservations: The Travels of an Independent Woman by Alice Steinbach? One Amazon reviewer says, "For Alice Steinbach,a year off means staying at top-of-the-market tourist hotels in the top European cities, drinking coffee in celebrity cafes, taking a group tour in Italy, enroling in a summer school in Oxford and hanging out with other affluent English-speakers and compatriots."

Kris, I dont quite remember reading 'without reservations' but yes i mean the non fiction book by Alice Steinbach, did it by any chance have a travel group? or am i confusing two books?

I haven't read Steinbach's "Without Reservations". One Amazon reviewer says, "Alice Steinbach seems to believe that she's taken her life into her hands by taking 6 months out to live on the edge; 4 star hotels in Paris, a flat in Chelsea and with an American tour group through Italy."

@lobstergirl, the book is set in the present time but with what Kris is saying, I think the books is 'Without Reservations'. I am going to order it right now.

Are there any similar books involving travel groups in Europe?

So do you want to call this Solved, Som? Have you had a chance to read "Without Reservations" to confirm?

No response. Moving to Solved.
