Veteran traveler Rick Steves is a funny, friendly tour guide in this hourlong excursion to London and Edinburgh. Glossing over better-known sights such as the Tower of London and Westminster Abbey, Steves focuses his lens on the locals' London, browsing through Sunday street markets and raising a glass of ale at neighborhood pubs. He covers a lot of ground--and water--with various walking tours, sightseeing bus trips, and a river cruise down the Thames. Traveling north to Scotland, Steves takes in the Edinburgh Festival, explores the streets that inspired the tale of Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde, and walks the Royal Mile. He intersperses his commentary with tips for taking photos that really capture the experience of being there; appropriately, the video is filled with interesting angles and beautifully framed shots from cameraman Tom Speer. --Larisa Lomacky Moore
