"The Grand Tour was the traditional trip of Europe undertaken by mainly upper class European young men of sufficient means and rank (or those of more humble origin who could find a sponsor), as well as young women if they were also of sufficient means, and accompanied by a chaperone, such as other family members, when they had come of age (about the age of 21 years old). The custom flourished from about 1660, until the advent of large-scale rail transport in the 1840s, and was associated with a standard itinerary. It served as an educational rite of passage. Though primarily associated with the British nobility and wealthy landed gentry, similar trips were made by wealthy young men of Protestant Northern European nations, and from the second half of the 18th century, by some South and North Americans." - Wikipedia



If you are into posh things like that, or frankly just have the money for it... by all means go fook off (unless you plan on buying beer for everyone every weekend).


We here at Trivial Tour are of the poorer classes, though many do not like to admit it. For us a grand tour may consist of a fishing pole and a cooler of beer, maybe a bottle of cheap whiskey if the paycheck was good.



So if you think you can fit in, by all means send an application.

Do not expect a reply on any weekend with good warm weather. Include a 12 pack of cold ones for instant acceptance.

Give a man a fish, and he will eat for a day. Teach a man to fish, and he will sit in a boat drinking beer all day.


Lessons coming soon!

Children in the back seats of cars cause accidents, but accidents in the back seats of cars cause children.
