    Default Meaning of 'Lightning'

    In this sentence : 'I met them in Munich, in a cafe, two thirds of their way round a lightning cultural tour of Europe.'


    Does the word lightning means quick and moving fast or it means enlightening?

    It means the former - "quick and moving fast".
    It does not mean "enlightening".
