"...though, I haven't actually travelled anywhere. I mean, the man is friendly, spontaneous and so open-minded. From what I have gathered, from the episodes that I have seen of Rick Steves' adventures in Italy, he is as much in love with the food, culture, art and people as he is in sharing his experience with us, the humble viewers at home. Even if you have never been to Venice, Florence, Naples and the numerous other cities that he treks through, in his travels, Steves succeeds in bringing a real level of accessiblity and unabashed joy toward planning trips, venturing on to the backroads and talking with locals.

The photography in these episodes is glorious, and you can almost feel the warmth of sun, at midafternoon, when he makes his way through a cobblestoned town or a more modernized city. Rick Steves really celebrates the community of humankind with his journeys, and what's more, makes us want to celebrate it with him. If you are going to invest in anything, lay down your green for these DVDs. You won't be sorry!"

You can look before you leap - into Florence, Rome, Venice

"I absolutely LOVE being able to see the streets and people of Italy before I go so I know what to expect. And the visual quality in the recent shows (on my up-converting DVD player) actually looks like HD on my TV.
The shows about Florence, Rome, and Venice are great. And seeing Siena and San Gimignano helps to know how uneven the ground will be."

Italy for Latin students

"All Latin classrooms should have this Rick Steves Italy DVD. We watch these 25 minute television shows as part of studying Sicily, Ancient and Baroque Rome, Venice, Florence, Siena, and Cinque Terre. This DVD replaced VHS tapes I had been using. It arrived on time and in excellent packaging."
