Rating: - Passport to Europe: England, Ireland and Scotland
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 to Europe, and hopefully someday Great Hotels will also be available for purchase. Who said learning has to be boring?
Rating:  - how informative....
Samantha has a way of letting us enjoy traveling without being there. As a person who does travel, I will watch her TV shows often to hear her inside pointers. This CD is both entertaining and educational.
Rating: - loved it - fun, informative, and gorgeous scenery
i really enjoy samantha brown, and i first checked these out from the library before we planned our trip. when we got back, i bought it because we went to so many of the places she tours in the video. it was really fun at that point, to watch it and say, 'we were there!'
she does a good job of having fun and being perky without being obnoxious, or overdoing it.
Rating: - Samantha does England, Ireland, Scotland
(and boy are her legs tired?)
If you like Samantha, you will love her travel videos of England, Ireland, and Scotland.
Rating: - Recommended
I enjoyed this travel DVD, and certainly would recommend it to anyone wishing to travel to Europe, to see things and go to places off the tourist route. Her Americanism is not annoying, and you do get a laugh at some of her comments. She mingles with the locals in all regions, takes you to enjoyable places to eat and drink, and talks about the accommodation and gives prices. She choses the middle to upper types of accommodation in each region, as she travelled in the low season.
