Good itinerary but not in depth, badly edited, & not funny! - [08 Feb 2010]
On this DVD, Samantha Brown offers a great itinerary of the England, Ireland, & Scotland which she visits during the winter but is not nearly as in depth as Rick Steves' or Rudy Maxa! Her bad jokes that are funny 1/10 times really kill the flow of...

British tourism light - [29 Jun 2009]
Samantha does a good job in the 20 minutes of each vignette to cover the main aspects of the location she visits. I'm sure that there has to be more for each visit that never makes it to the airing. Travel channel should consider adding that additional...

Pretty - [28 Jun 2009]
This dvd shows the pretty parts of the Cotswolds, of London, Scotland and Ireland, but it is by no means an overall or accurate depiction of these sites. It is further marred by two flaws: (1) I have to think that the hotels where the narrator stayed ...

Great Travel DVD! (But Sadly NO Closed Caption or Subtitles) - [22 May 2009]
I'm the sort of person who would love to travel- if only I had the circumstances, and financial means. In the meantime however, I'm contented to watch various travel shows like this one. While Samantha's shows may not always be budget friendly; I think...

Great Travel DVD! (But Sadly NO Closed Caption or Subtitles) - [22 May 2009]
I personally enjoy Samantha's bubbly approach to travel. However, if you're on a budget and are looking for tips on thrifty travel- you might want to look to Rick Steves (his dvd series; or his yearly "Europe Through The Back Door" book series). Samantha...

Focused too much on the narrator and not enough on the country - [07 May 2009]
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...

Cute! - [08 Mar 2009]
I bought this DVD to use as a supplement for my foreign foods unit when I had to be gone and needed something easy for a substitute to do. Unfortunately, I couldn't use it because the host very much focuses on drinking lots of beer : ) and it just wasn...

A Dublin Must-See Site - [16 Dec 2008]
While planning a trip to Ireland we watched the episode on Dublin. After seeing the part on the mummies of Saint Michan's Church we knew we had to make that a part of our itinerary. We were so glad we did! It was one of the highlights of Dublin. We even...

Passport to Europe: England, Ireland and Scotland - [08 Sep 2008]
Samantha Brown has a vast knowledge of the locations she narrates on and makes you feel as though you are right there experiencing the same things she is. She is entertaining, witty, and informative. I will continue to add to my collection of Passport...
