Victorian era travel
I'm looking for information about tourism in the Victorian times -- British and American upper class -- but when I search for "Victorian tourism" or anything such combination with "Victorian" it only turns up Victoria, Australia stuff. And the only books I find are about American tourist attractions of the era, which is useful but not too useful.
In particular, since the Grand Tour was no longer so popular, were there approved itineraries that people would travel along? Did families, or individuals, travel alone, or were there groups? I am particularly interested in this for young people -- young women with their families or other approved chaperons, no doubt.
