1. I thought the story line was great and the actress who played Jose did an extremely good job doing it.

4 comments about Italy: the Hilltowns of Tuscany, the Italian Riviera.

1. Rick Steves is indeed the guru of travel. He offers great pointers as well as great information on his destinations that are not your normal travel video fare. This video gives the nuts and bolts- common sense approach to the Italian Riviera and the Hilltowns of Tuscany. A must if you are planning a trip to this area. His other videos are great as well.



2. Nothing makes me want to drop everything and hop on a plane to Europe more than watching one of Rick Steves' videos. His attitude to travel is so refreshing -- break down the barriers between you and the culture you traveled so far to see. This video gives good tips on packing light, meeting locals, and searching out small villages not (yet) overrun by the tourist crowds.

   As the Amazon reviewer noted, Steves is a bit geeky, but once you've watched him for a while and start to appreciate the depth of his knowledge of European travel it becomes endearing, not annoying.

   I'd highly recommend this video to anyone planning a trip to Italy. And if you're not planning a trip there, by the end of the video you will be!




3. This is not the current video series now running on public television. This is a very old series. The new series is called Rick Steves Europe.



4. Rick made a good job here, but don't expect too much about history. The tips are very good for amateur tourists. Yes, it's a good video; no the best, but good. Entertaining.

1 comments about Mexico (2 Video Boxed Set).

1. This is a well done travel video with scenery and information the traveler and non-traveler can appreciate. It is a 2 video set, video one concerns Mexico City. The second video tours the most important cities of the country giving a short synopsis of the history and culture, arts and crafts, celebrations, and tourist areas of interest. For a travel video this ranks high in my book as it moves quickly without boring the viewer yet still gives the authentic flavor of the areas covered. It will make almost anyone want to travel to one of the cities as their next vacation.
