"The Rudy Maxa series on Europe are exceptional. My wife and I have watched them multiple times and planned several trips afterwards. Rudy Maxa is a fun travel guide. He presents excursions and sites that are historical and cultural in nature. He tends to show accomodations that are a little more expensive, but that aren't too lavish. The Pacific Max DVDs don't match the European set, because there are less historical sites and activities & there are only 2 shows per DVD, while the Europe set had 4 shows per DVD. My sense is that Rudy is most comfortable in Europe. Rudy does however do a good job of showing you the different excursions within New Zealand & China such as kayaking, wine country, etc. If you are interested in watching travel videos only & not set on the Pacific as a destination, I would recommend either of the Europe sets first."
