DVD : Rick Steves' Europe, 2000-2007: All 70 Shows |
- The Ultimate Rick Steves' Collection!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.
Why not have it all and get this ultimate collection? You know you want it so why put it off any longer? Europe and Rick are waiting to provide the ultimate vacation from the comfort of your own home!

- Very informative and entertaining to watch.If you are interested in traveling to Europe for the first time, or returning there and looking for new things to see, this DVD series is excellent. I find Rick Steves easy to listen to and entertaining. I like that he gets to know the "locals" as a way to find new and interesting things to see or do.

- Great getaways for the armchair traveler!As it states... 70 one-half hour shows are in this set. The picture is crisp and clear. The most recent years (I think 2005-2007) are filmed in high definition so the picture quality is exceptional.
The focus is on the highlights of each region and the beauty of the places and the local culture. You'll learn a few words in each language and learn about some regional foods, and history. These shows are jam-packed with education, but they make you feel like you're taking a leisurly 30 minute vacation.
I watch 2 of these shows every morning before work, before the kids wake up. I love relaxing and soaking in these shows each morning. I'm sure you'll enjoy them too.

- Rick Steves' Europe All 70 ShowsAs an avid traveler and Rick Steves fan, this set was perfect for me! I love watching the Rick Steves marathons during PBS pledge drives. He's a little dorkified, yes. But he's fun and is a fountain of great information. The camera work for his shows is fantastic. Great virtual vacationing. I would highly recommend this set. You'll never get tired of it. If you love to travel, and love European travel in particular, it is impossible to be disappointed by this series. And if you're a Rick Steves aficionado, you'll love the bloopers. I haven't laughed so hard at someone else's expense in a long time. Good times, good times.
