4.0 out of 5 stars A dead-on guide to off-the-beaten-track Europe, February 10, 2001

This review is from: Switzerland: Berner Alps, Western Switzerland [VHS] (VHS Tape)

I like Rick Steves' approach to European travel. He finds comfortable, affordable lodging and good restaurants off the beaten path and, through his relationships with innkeepers, artisans and others, gives the viewer a sense of getting to know a place. Having lived in Switzerland myself, I can vouch that this video gives a real picture of western Switzerland and the Bernese Oberland. I could taste the hearty breakfasts and feel the cold winter air. With more than two decades of travel experience, it would be difficult to find a more knowledgeable and down-to-earth tour guide than Rick Steves. I like that he always includes some art find, whether it's a church or a museum. It adds a reverential air to his reviews. And you know that someone who likes to eat as much as Mr. Steves is dead on.
