Recently, I viewed a DVD called Chicago, Second to None! Of course I was intrigued by the title because as resident of Chicago, I feel that way. There is nothing like Chicago and there is no city in the World like Chicago but if you are reading this, you know that. This DVD is a very informative guide and tour of Chicago. It begins on the Loop and on The Chicago River to check out the Architecture. I have to say that I was wowed by the views of the buildings downtown. It was a bright clear sunny day but the video zoomed in on the buildings so you could see the structures. It even took the viewer to the Sears Tower from the elevator up to the Observatory Deck to overlook the city. Along with the tour stops, the narrator gave a little bit of history. There were even clips from the early days of Chicago which I thought were very interesting to watch. It covered Capone and the Water Tower s History. And of course, it s not Chicago if you don t talk about food. I was happy to see my favorite restaurant Giordano s highlighted there for the BEST pizza. YAY If you are going to visit the city, you have got to get this DVD. It s one thing to plan out what you want to do when you arrive here by looking at brochures but it is another thing to really see them. The DVD shows everything to do in Chicago from the tourist s eye. And it takes it one step further. It actually gives the Chicago Resident something to be proud of. Our great city is beautiful and when you are here day to day, you may not really think about it. The tour captures the heart of the city and points of interest around the Magnificent Mile (Shopping, Yay!) and it could have stopped right there. I can not think of one negative thing to say about the DVD. When giving a review, you always want to be impartial but there is nothing that is not good about it. Check it out and see for yourself. Chicago DVD is Second to None. Great job Insight Media. --The Chicago Traveler

5.0 out of 5 stars
I don't give ratings based 'solely on title.',
This review is from: Chicago: Second to None! (Great City Guides Travel Series) (DVD)
I recently bought this DVD for our first family trip to Chicago. It was well-produced and cleverly laid-out. I thought it was a helpful product, and glad I purchased it.
I don't normally post reviews, but then I saw that some yahoo posted a 'one-star' review because he thinks he's a comedian. -not cool. Regardless, though, my review of five-stars is spot-on. If you've never been to Chi-town and are looking for a 'great pre-trip video of things to do! This DVD is a must-have!

Another Fun Great City Guide,
By Waverly (Los Angeles, CA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Chicago: Second to None! (Great City Guides Travel Series) (DVD)
This is the second of the Great City Guides series that I've bought (the other was San Francisco) and I really enjoyed this one on Chicago as well. It was great for family-centered travel planning. We all were able to look at the different things on the DVD and pick and choose what we wanted to see. Plus, the DVD is set up so you can easily skip past stuff you're not really interested in, and there are sections specifically for families, which as a Mom I appreciated.
