'At Your Service' star Francis Brennan is making a new travel themed show for RTÉ, and he's looking for people to join him.
'Francis Brennan's Grand Tour' will see the Park Hotel Kenmare owner bring 16 paying holidaymakers on a 12-night escorted tour across Europe.
The cost of the trip is €800 per person sharing - including flights, taxes and charges, transfers and accommodation on a B&B basis - with the successful applicants set to hold Francis to "the holiday of a lifetime".
The makers of the show, Waddell Media, said: "Everyone has paid up front, so it's down to Francis to make sure they get the holiday of a lifetime. His reputation is on the line, as he tries to make sure everything goes according to plan, from organising check-ins and making catering arrangements, to dealing with all the usual problems that arise when travelling abroad.
"As well as organising the group's excursions, Francis will have to complete special assignments and challenges en-route. Will he be able to pull it out of the bag and make his holidaymakers' dreams come true?
"Flying from Dublin the coach trippers will experience Barcelona's amazing architecture, the medieval walled city of Carcassonne and the glitz and glamour of Cannes. A visit to the Italian Lakes with a trip to the Borromeo Islands will be followed by olive oil and wine tasting in Tuscany, before rounding the trip off in ancient Rome, with a visit to St Peter's Basilica and The Coliseum."
Successful applicants must be 18 or over, hold a valid passport and be available to travel from Monday 12 September to Saturday 24 September 2011 inclusive. Terms and conditions apply. Single supplement extra.
