This review is from: Passport to Europe: England, Ireland and Scotland (DVD)

I have never been to England or Ireland, but this show has made that trip a priority on my list. The eps "English Countryside" and "Ireland Coast" are like magical fairy tales. I've seen probably every ep of Passport to Europe, and these British eps (along w/ Austria and Switzerland) are my favorites. Samantha as always is a charming host. Her sense of humor is great and these eps are particularly fun because there is no language barrier between her and the locals. Every interaction will make you smile and most will make you laugh. These episodes are whimsical, witty, wonderful...if you are armchair traveling, this is the trip you want to take.

1.0 out of 5 stars Focused too much on the narrator and not enough on the country, May 7, 2009

This review is from: Passport to Europe: England, Ireland and Scotland (DVD)

This DVD spent way too much time on the woman narrating and not enough on the sites. I guess that would be OK if you wanted to buy a video of her, but I was expecting a video of England and Scotland. Also, I found it strange that she was saying that one of the places she visited in London she normally wouldn't go to because of safety, but why would she include it on her video. I would shop around for a better video guide.

Enjoyable for its entertainment value. Other travel videos give you a different and perhaps better flavor for desired tourist destinations.
