"Cooke's Tour" refers to a type of travel experience that became popular in the 19th century, named after the British entrepreneur Thomas Cook. He is credited with pioneering organized group travel, making it accessible to the middle class. Cook's tours often included transportation, accommodations, and meals, allowing travelers to explore various destinations without the hassle of planning. The term has since evolved to describe any quick or superficial tour of a place, often lacking in-depth exploration. Today, "Cooke's Tour" can also imply a hurried visit to multiple sites, where participants may only skim the surface of the local culture and attractions.
