"This DVD set is excellent and really a supreme bargain at this price. I mean, do the math... 70 shows... that's about a buck per show! And each show is an informational gem!

Like many people, I first saw Rick Steves on Public Television and really liked his casual, practical, and friendly approach to travel. I bought his guidebook, and tried avidly to watch all of his shows through the years whenever they aired (I had no idea how many I had missed). When I saw this complete set on sale, at this extremely reasonable price here, I just jumped on the chance to own them all and enjoy them at my leisure over and over. Watching these shows has given me so many wonderful ideas and suggestions. Based on his recommendations I have a dream trip in mind.

My tongue-in-cheek title to this review refers to the fact that he gives away many secret nooks and hidden corners of Europe that are just breathtakingly beautiful, amazingly quaint and fun, or just sublimely relaxing. I just hope that they do not get spoiled by too many people suddenly going there by becoming aware of their existence! Some of his restaurant recommendations made my mouth water just watching them.

Even if you never pack your bags and set foot on that jet, this DVD set is thoroughly enjoyable as it allows a vicarious and intimate look at some of the best places in Europe from the comfort of your living room.

I give this my HIGHEST RECOMMENDATION."

I can't believe my luck!

"I came online looking to purchase a Rick Steves DVD and I found them all in one package! I recieved these quickly and have since watched over half of them. The quality is great and I found the extras to be somewhat useful. Follow the advice of PACK LIGHT (especially when traveling by train). I could watch these episodes for hours on end! Having been to several of the destinations, I enjoyed seeing places familiar to me, as well as planning future adventures. I have to give this set 5 stars based on quality and quantity of the content. I still can't believe I found these all in one place and for such a great price!"

The perfect gift to fire up a friend for European travel.

"Rick Steves' travel videos are wonderful. They show you what to expect. They show you how to get around. They make you want to go everywhere in Europe. And they are a wonderful way to remember your own visits."

Its like taking a big vacation

"If you enjoy Rick Steves or want to learn about where to go and what to do in Europe, this is a great set. I like how he explores museums so you know which you want to visit. I also like his topics, like day trips outside of London or the Greek Isles versus just doing Athens or big cities. Its an arm chair vacation if you can't afford a big European trip. (By the way, both of my trips to Europe I used his guidebooks and I thought they were good too...I like how he explains the history and details of places- things you might like to know but may not be able to know just by visiting--like its a 4 mile walk through the Vatican Museum.)"
