An excellent illustrated guide to early travel and tourism.
It is an excellent book that focuses on the earliest forms of tourism. Each compact chapter focuses on an area and one or two people who pioneered travel there with the help of certain key maps - hence map tour. The text is not wordy, but still manages to convey the wonder of travel in formative times. It is well illustrated. The RRP is a bit high, but second hand copies in almost new conditions are great value.
