Summary: Travel with Samantha
Comment: This is a great travel video. Samantha has a wonderful way of connecting with her audience and she makes it fun. Sometimes I wish she would show more of the visit. It's like a virtual trip when you can't get there in person.

Summary: Can't praise it enough
Comment: I love this series. Samantha Brown is the perfect travelling companion. Her energy, excitement, and joy never fail. The shows hit a perfect balance between tourist info and intimate charm. I know Paris very well, and I agree with her observations about Paris, which makes me trust her when she is traveling in other parts of the world that I do not know (like Italy). Highlights on this DVD include: the two Paris eps (of course), an achingly beautiful fairy-tale village and hotel featured in the Cote d'Azur episode, and the Florence ep. I also should note that Samantha Brown travels in style. This is not Europe on a shoestring. Personnally, I love living vicariously through her. The beautiful hotels make this show all the more fun.
I recommend it to all who love to travel and dream and laugh.
Customer Rating:
Summary: Perky, fun view of travel
Comment: Samantha Brown's approch to travel is perky and enthusiastic. The four episodes in France and four in Italy give you a good short peek at these two countries. Watching what goes on in the background of scenes also prepares you for how to dress and what to expect on the street in Europe.
Customer Rating:
Summary: Absolutely Wonderful
Comment: This is the perfect DVD. It comes with 8 episodes and it really seems that we are traveling with her.
Samantha Brown is unique, nobody can inspire you to travel as she can.
I hope that Travel Channel will launch DVD's for all episodes of Passport to Europe.
