Travel Guides sends five ordinary British households to review some of the worlds most popular tourist destinations, from an all-inclusive in Tenerife to a five star hotel in Dubai, to see what they can really offer an average Brit. Each week the same households travel to a different destination and experience identical holidays. Narrator Johnny Vegas guides us through the location, while the households give honest and frank reviews about everything on offer - from the accommodation to the food to the activities. We've all experienced that bad holiday breakfast, dodgy air con system or disappointing day-trip. These amateur critics are here to make sure you remember your next holiday for all the right reasons…

E1 Thailand 2015-08-03 · 60 min This week the Travel Guides hit Thailand. With miles of tropical beaches and an exotic climate, it attracts over 26 million's tourists each year to its shores - making it the most popular destination for Brits visiting Asia. But it also has a reputation as being a destination for hedonistic backpackers that is fraught with dangers and annoyances. Our households spend a week on the island of Koh Samui, getting the lowdown on what a holiday there can really offer.

E2 Dubai 2015-08-10 · 60 min This week they hit Dubai, one of the fastest growing tourist destinations on earth. Over a million Brits flock here on holiday each year, tempted by year round sun and the glamorous five star lifestyle it offers. But this modern metropolis in the desert doesn't appeal to everyone. Burnley bar owner Linda and her painter husband Pete find not only the hotels but their prices ‘out of this world'. Bikini clad model Riah can't understand why Arabic women should have to ‘cover up', and hairdressers Craig Chapman-Blackwell and Stuart McDonald are uncomfortable about travelling to a country where it's illegal to be gay.

E3 Tenerife 2015-08-17 · 60 min This week the Travel Guides head to sunny Tenerife. Since the 1960's it's been one of Europe's most popular package holiday destinations, attracting 1.5 million brits to its shores each year. Our households spend a week in the lively resort of Playa de las Americas getting the lowdown on what a 3 star all-inclusive holiday there offers.

E4 Lake District 2015-08-24 · 60 min This year its estimated that three quarters of us Brits will holiday at home in the UK, so our travel guides are visiting the Lake District to get the lowdown on what a week long caravan holiday there offers. Situated in the North West of England, the Lake District is Britain's biggest outdoor playground and attracts over 15 million tourists from around the world each year. But with the notorious British weather and its rural surrounds, will our reviewers really think it's better to holiday at home or away?
