"This is one of the few Globe Trekker shows I did not like. It seemed rushed. They used two hosts on this show which caused them to bounce back and forth loosing plot lines. But the good points are great video shots of the beautiful and exciting city of London. The DVD is worth that alone."
Five stars from our family!

"We felt the two host approach was interesting and presented more sites and perspectives than we could have had from one in the short time allotted for the program. Each presenter has their strengths. We didn't have a problem going between the two since many movies have that going on. This covered more area and each day you knew exactly where each person was heading and basically what they were doing there. We loved it. The graphic maps sure help in orientation around London. Ready to go again!

"Very good for basic info on London. Wish they could have spent a little more time at each destination. Video could have been a little longer. Overall, a good product."
Disappointed

"I've been a fan of the Globe Trekker series, and I always liked Megan McCormick. However, this video was disappointing. There isn't a logical narrative to this video. As others have complained, having two hosts didn't work.
What does it say when I forgot I owned this video until I stumbled across it?
It didn't offer me surprises or compelling reasons to visit a place that hasn't been better covered by others like Rick Steves."
Only Just OK

"This DVD contains nothing new about London. It is disappointingly short and contains predictable video of the same old tourist spots in London. Don't waste your money."
