On their second outing for BBC Arts, the pair follow in the footsteps of Rob's favourite author E.M. Forster, who a century ago wrote A Passage to India and changed the way the world saw the country. As they embark on their own passage to India and discover how the country's ancient wisdom, art and culture can challenge them both personally, intellectually and physically.

Rob and Rylan's Grand Tour follows Rob and Rylan - presenters, friends, and men who love the finer things in life - as they discover the greatest art treasures in Italy, finding out more about themselves along the way.

Together, they retrace the steps of countless English aristocrats who took the Grand Tour - the original gap year - leaving behind the confines of British society for freedom and discovery abroad. But can the Grand Tour still work its magic today?

Marking the 200th anniversary of Byron's death, Rob and Rylan will draw from the poet's extensive poems and letters to guide them, alongside the diaries of others who made the trip.
