These DVDs are broken down into 30 minute segments that make viewing them events that are refreshing and not tedious. We have several of these travel DVDs and really enjoy the visual travelog format.

Summary: "Hi, I'm Rick Steves'" ~ Traveling Through Eastern Europe From The Comfort Of Home
Comment: Has there ever been another travel guide more amiable, more informative, more eclectic and just plain likeable than Rick Steves? This somewhat nerdish but pleasant looking fellow will immediately win the viewer over with his charm, humor and smoothing, layback manner. However what will keep you watching program after program is his consummate knowledge of the sites and people he visits.
While each journey is only 30 minutes in length Rick has a unique talent of synthesizing the many facets that make up a people and place. He leaves no stone unturned in his analysis; historical background, spiritual heritage, cultural underpinnings and political legacy are all equally touched upon to give the audience a fuller understanding of the rural and urban landscape.
However not not an individual to dwell too much on the past, he provides a delightful tour of the markets, music, restaurants and nightlife. The kind of information would really want to know if you're out for a good time.
The production values are also wonderful offering fanstastic visuals that are worth watching even if there where no commentary. Traveling with Rick Steves' is the next best thing to being there.
This particular DVD contains five episodes, thirty minutes in length. Enjoy two and one half hours traveling through Poland, Hungary, Slovenia, Croatia, Bulgaria and the Czech Republic, better get started!
