Summary

Britons Abroad (1968) takes the lid off nine 1960s package tours, mainly in Europe, revealing the kind of people taking part, what they got for their money and the adventures that befell them. Air tours, ski parties, coach tours, villa holidays, student tours and ocean cruises are among the holidays that come under scrutiny.
