Enthusiastic and adventurous, Samantha Brown is the perfect tour guide for the most exciting places in the world. Explore exotic locales up close and personal as you may never have seen them. Samantha interacts with the locals and discovers popular area landmarks many tourists miss. Plus, she discusses the culture and history of these intriguing areas and shares invaluable travel tips. FEATURING: English Countryside: It's the landscape of fairytales. Enjoy a medieval castle that welcomed King Henry VIII and Anne Boleyn, and visit the bucolic paradise that is the Cotswolds. Classic London: No tour of London is complete without a visit to Buckingham Palace for the "Changing of the Guard." Then it's on to Notting Hill, Harrods and Westminster Abbey. London Now: An eclectic mix of avant-garde and traditional, London is the ultimate cosmopolitan experience. This is an exciting tour of modern London's cuisine and attractions. Ireland Coast: Explore the gorgeous countryside of Cork and Kerry, and learn about the sometimes mysterious cuisine. But it's the warm and wonderful people you'll remember most. Dublin, Ireland: You'll experience both Dublin's rich Irish heritage and the city's modern charm. Samantha discovers an incredible hotel bargain and goes on a memorable pub crawl. Edinburgh, Scotland: Visit a city steeped in history with many famous medieval landmarks. And experience one of today's hippest festivals along the city's historic streets.

Summary: Passport to Europe: England, Ireland and Scotland
Comment:
Samantha Brown has a vast knowledge of the locations she narrates on and makes you feel as though you are right there experiencing the same things she is. She is entertaining, witty, and informative. I will continue to add to my collection of Passport to Europe, and hopefully someday Great Hotels will also be available for purchase. Who said learning has to be boring?
Customer Rating: 
Summary: how informative....
Comment: Samantha has a way of letting us enjoy traveling without being there. As a person who does travel, I will watch her TV shows often to hear her inside pointers. This CD is both entertaining and educational.
Customer Rating:
Summary: loved it - fun, informative, and gorgeous scenery
Comment: i really enjoy samantha brown, and i first checked these out from the library before we planned our trip. when we got back, i bought it because we went to so many of the places she tours in the video. it was really fun at that point, to watch it and say, 'we were there!'
she does a good job of having fun and being perky without being obnoxious, or overdoing it.

Summary: Samantha does England, Ireland, Scotland

Summary: Recommended
Comment: I enjoyed this travel DVD, and certainly would recommend it to anyone wishing to travel to Europe, to see things and go to places off the tourist route. Her Americanism is not annoying, and you do get a laugh at some of her comments. She mingles with the locals in all regions, takes you to enjoyable places to eat and drink, and talks about the accommodation and gives prices. She choses the middle to upper types of accommodation in each region, as she travelled in the low season.
I can understand why she was awarded the Emmy for 'Outstanding Lifestyle Directing".
