Rating:  - This is the best travel show I have ever seen
I have seen several travel shows, but this is the best one. it is iteresting, informative ans usefull. Thanks Samantha
Rating: - Renew my Passport to Europe!
Let me start off by saying that I definitely prefer Samantha Brown over Rick Steves... she's more charming and current which makes her travel videos more interesting. I think this DVD is great...there are 9 different 20 minute segments from which to choose (3 Germany, 3 Switzerland, 3 Austria), the cities are scenic and the activities are fun to watch. Her German pronunciation is a little off, but it's not atypical for an American. The only reason this DVD didn't receive the full 5 stars is because I'm a MS & HS German teacher and some of the scenes about Oktoberfest and Munich have a big emphasis on beer so unfortunately I have to skip over those in the school environment, otherwise for an adult/mature audience, it's a keeper (and for a great price!)
Rating: - The MOST Beautiful Travel Destination in Europe!
I've traveled several times to Germany, Austria, and Switzerland. It was fun to watch the DVD and be able to say "I've been there!" and "Oh wow! Remember that?" My main criticism: some of the featured hotels were way more expensive than necessary. When I travel to Europe I like to stay in 'Gasthofs', smaller family-owned inns that offer quaint rooms, usually with private baths. Breakfast is always included and usually features soft or hard-boiled eggs, various breads and 'broetchen' (the crunchy rolls), a variety of cheeses and jams, and sometimes sliced meats.
Overall, a great dvd.
Rating: - Samantha does Germany!
If you find Samantha cute and charming, you will love seeing her show you Germany, Switzerland, and Austria. I do!
Rating: - Very funny and informative.
The lady in this DVD makes you laugh. This is great for traveling to Bavaria and the surrounding areas.
