Coach Trip Season 13, Episode 9: Genoa

1

Flanders Field

The first day of the new tour finds the group making a sobering visit to Flanders Field, a World War I memorial site in Belgium, before taking in a round of Belgian beer tasting.

2

Brussels

Day two includes some very messy chocolate making before it gets wet and wild with scuba diving at the world's deepest swimming pool.

3

Luxembourg

The coach arrives in sleepy Luxembourg, where one tourist gets hands-on with a local pottery maker. Later Brendan is in his element on a Segway tour.

4

Nancy

The group arrive in Nancy, where Brendan's refereeing is called into question at human table football. Later, one tourist's dream comes true with a zip wire ride. But two other tourists' dreams are shattered at the vote.

5

Dijon

The group meet a very eccentric guide at Europe's first kite museum, and some unconventional locals at a blackcurrant museum.

6

Southern France

An action packed day on the coach in southern France, with the first new arrivals, a joke that goes too far at a sausage making class, and a policeman who gets carried away at a self-defence class, leaving Brendan nursing a nasty injury.

7

Chambery

Brendan is forced into hospital, leaving one of the tourists to take charge of the group. There's mayhem at a dairy farm. And it's up, up and away in some microlites. Then back to earth with a bump at the vote.

8

Turin

Brendan returns to introduce the group to the popular Italian sport of hitball, before exploring the delights of ancient Egypt at a world famous museum. Two more new tourists arrive, but how long will they last?

9

Genoa

Brendan has a brush with the law before one tourist wins an invite to the pesto world championships and another is crowned champion at the Coach Trip go-karting championships.

10

Livorno

There's a double dose of new arrivals as two new couples join the group to enjoy classic Italian fun at a pizza-making class and then a visit to the Vespa museum.

11

Sardinia

Two new tourists board the coach in Sardinia. Brendan lets the group loose at a market after an Italian lesson, then they make waves sea kayaking, but who will be in deep water at the vote?

12

Sardinia (2)

A tree-top assault course leaves one tourist paralysed with fear, a Sardinian delicacy causes an upset stomach, and there's more upset at the vote.

13

Nice

The tourists have a tennis lesson in Nice and play with dolphins at a marine park. But with more waterworks at the vote will someone be waving goodbye to the coach?

14

Cannes

The group make their mark in Cannes with a sea-front mime class, Brendan judges a ballroom dance lesson and the tourists learn there's no such thing as a safe vote.

15

Aix-en-Provence

The tourists are on top of the world in Aix-en-Provence after a hot air balloon ride. Brendan proves he's an old master at a painting class, and the vote leaves one couple seething.

16

Montpellier

Cupid draws back his bow at a violin lesson, but can the tourists make sweet music? And things get messy as Brendan takes the group for a spin on a pottery wheel.

17

Perpignan

Brendan dishes out a slimy facial at a snail farm, and one tourist is a hero at a dramatic banana boating ride. There's a surprise departure and things get tense at the vote.

18

L'Estartit

Brendan skips down memory lane at the resort where his international tour guiding began. A volleyball game ends uncomfortably for one tourist, and someone storms out of the vote in a huff.

19

Barcelona

The group are overwhelmed by the majesty of Gaudi's Sagrada Familia before they make a splash at an iconic Olympic venue. And at the vote, will two more tourists' trips come to an end?

20

Salou

After a messy morning gutting fish for lunch, the undesirable sights continue when Brendan takes the group for a pole dancing class. At the vote, one couple is given both barrels.

21

Valencia

As the coach arrives in Valencia a new couple rouse the group's curiosity and the competitive juices are flowing in a paella-making class. Brendan takes the delighted tourists for a bungee jump with a difference, before tears flow at the vote.

22

Benidorm

In Benidorm, the tourists hit the big top as Brendan takes the group circus-training before an afternoon spent clowning around on jet skis. But there's not a dry eye in the house at an emotional and surprising vote.

23

Alicante

A tense group arrive in Alicante, so Brendan calms proceedings with a yoga class. A synchronised swimming lesson provides an eyeful, in more ways than one, and at the vote an indecisive tourist is left in no doubt as to the group's feelings.

24

Almeria

Another new couple climb aboard and hit the bullseye at an archery lesson in Almeria, much to the others' dismay. The group also try their hand at traditional rug-making.

25

Sierra Nevada

In Sierra Nevada, Spain, Brendan spends the morning talking to a door when one tourist refuses to speak to him. Then the group are shocked while visiting modern-day cave-dwellers at Guadix, before revealing their softer side at a local donkey sanctuary.

26

Granada

The group are left surprised by the dancers at a flamenco class, before the alarm is raised after a frightening turn of events at the Alhambra Palace. Brendan's busy day gets no quieter at a feisty vote.

27

Cordoba

There's fun and games down on the farm as the group go olive picking before they express themselves at a traditional Spanish folk singing class. But after the singsong there's a dingdong at the vote.

28

Malaga

Bad behaviour on the golf course leaves Brendan red-faced, and there are some truly remarkable results when the tourists paint each other at a Picasso art class. It's the last chance for a red card at the vote so who will make it to the final day?

29

Marbella

Day twenty-nine and the trip comes to an end in Marbella. The group go full-throttle by racing dune buggies and celebrate by creating some unique concoctions at a cocktail making class. But which couple will be crowned overall winners at the vote?

30

Journey's End

As the remaining tourists prepare to make the long journey home, Brendan looks back on his favourite and funniest moments of their six-week trip round Europe.
