This review is from: Rick Steves Best of Travels in Europe - Greece, Turkey, Israel & Egypt (DVD)

This is a wonderful travel guide if you are going to any of the countries that are included. The video is high quality and Rick Steves provides great tips and recommendations. It will double as our June 2003 Mediterranean Cruise souvenier and is a wonderful reminder of a Greek vacation we had several years ago

A Rick Steves travel video will serve all of these suggestions, while also functioning as the Frugal Gourmet of travelers -- telling you how to travel light, easy and inexpensive.

This particular combo works well for anyone of a religious bent, wanting to see biblical holy places for an extended vacation. By packaging single episodes together like this, Steves lets people plan such a vacation with one-stop video suggestions and ideas.

Doesn't compare to the Backdoor books for planning purposes. But it's a good look at some of the things we plan to see in Greece and Turkey.
