Summary: "Hi, I'm Rick Steves'" ~ Traveling the World 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 Rick is not one to miss out on a good time, he also provides a delightful tour of the contemporary 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 eight episodes, thirty minutes in length. Imagine four hours in England and Wales await, better get started!

Summary: Arm chair traveler
Comment: I find that Rick Steves DVD's are very interesting and informative. I love to arm chair travel with Mr. Steves and go to all those exciting places. I like that he touches on the culture and especially the food they eat. I am a good cook and love to read or see what Mr Steves is eating in far away places.

Summary: Great for 1st time England travel
Comment: I liked these DVD's, I found them to be very informative. I did not watch the one on Whales since I did not plan on going there when I go to England. If you are planning a trip to England for the first time these would be very helpful.
