Rally Across Europe by Travelling Gentleman
The Grand Tour of Europe , was one undertaken by the upper class men ( and later women ) of means from the mid 17th Century till the late 19th Century . It was a standard itinerary that was meant to expose , as a rite of passage , to the great cultural legacy of the classics and the renaissance . Mass tourism , slowly destroyed this tradition in the 20th Century as the railroads spread across the countries of europe and travel became affordable .
The Modern equivalent is a Rally through the roads of Europe . Now before you start thinking about dashing through forests and yelling “ right , right , right ” at the top of your lungs to the driver . We are talking the more leisurely version , well certainly in the case of Verve Rally .
The modern grand rally tour of Europe is the great combination of relaxation , entertainment and adventure . It is about taking your time behind the wheel of a car taking in some of the best roads across mainland Europe . It is about taking in breathtaking scenery and stopping off for lunch at a small vineyard to sample a wine that has been made by the same family for generations .
It today ’ s modern world of speed , it is just a great to take some time and enjoy driving for the sake of driving rather than just getting from A to B because you have to . Though you don ’ t want to spend all your time driving and Verve Rally caters for the more relaxed traveller , who also wants to indulge in unwinding from the stresses of the real world .
