Notes
- ^1 On Day 5, due to the spreading of the yellow cards tactic that the group used, Brendon reinstated the same voting rule as on Day 24 of Coach Trip Series 3 when the red terror was annouced - on vote time the couple who received the most votes would get an immediate red card, this happened to be Ben & Raef, this system stayed till the end of the series.
No timekeepers, removals or walkers in series

Arrival Day and Day 1 of the trip - Prague
The trip gets straight on with the fun in Prague. First up is a lesson at the Czech National Ballet. Later they go for a hair-raising ride in old Soviet tanks. Two new arrivals join the coach in the shape of Big Brother 11 entrant Ben Duncan and ex-Apprentice contestant Raef Bjayou. The 'posh' boys make an instant impression but at the end of the day they received the first yellow card with three votes.

Day 2 - Pilzen
The coach leaves Prague for Pilzen in the west of the Czech Republic. A surprised Brendan finds himself naked in a beer bath with Ingrid Tarrant and Barry Chuckle. Also Ricky Groves and Alex Ferns display a lot more of themselves than Bianca Gascoigne and Imogen Thomas bargained for, which causes some tension at the vote, though at the vote Ricky & Alex received two votes and Bianca & Imogen received three votes, meaning Bianca & Imogen received the second yellow card of the series.

Day 3 - Regensburg
The celebs visit Regensburg, Germany, home to the oldest sausage kitchen in the world. The group had a go at making sausages, which Alex really couldn't stomach, but Ricky showed his skills as an-ex professional chef and cooked everyone lunch. The afternoon was spent on a cruise on the river, but Brendan's attempts to educate the group about local culture were scuppered by the presence of a keg of beer. At the end of the day Ricky & Alex received their first yellow card.

Later they enjoy a canoeing trip down the Danube, although Ben and Raef head off in their own direction... much to Brendan's annoyance.

Day 5 - Linz
In Linz, Austria, an experiment at The Museum of the Future, failed to discover any activity in Ben Duncan's brain. The celebs also attempted to walk on water in specially made AquaSpheres, but ended up looking like human hamsters. The celebs continued to plan to spread out the yellow cards, but Brendan drops a bombshell on them since day 24 of series 3 when the red terror was annouced by announcing that from now on there will be an instant red card for whoever gets the most votes. Due to there being an automatic red card it comes to a draw between Ricky & Alex and Ben & Raef, the couples eventually decide to give the red card to Ben & Raef, making them the first couple to be voted off the trip.

Day 7 - Innsbruck Part 1
It was a day of mountain fun as the group headed to the Austrian Alpine resort of Innsbruck where they fed the animals at Europe's highest zoo. Later they came hurtling back down the mountain at a summer bobsleigh track. They were joined by another pair of new tourists, the football legend Rodney Marsh, and ex-Bucks Fizzer Cheryl Baker. And sparks flew when Cheryl came face to face with her arch-enemy David Van Day, which made for a very entertaining vote. At the vote with Rodney & Cheryl being immune from any votes, David & Tony received the red card with a vote from every other couple. After the vote the Coach from the UK broke down which left Paul Donald stranded on the road to nowhere which made matters worse.
