Reasonably good journey. Some very interesting ares are visited. However you are riding along on the author's trip. and some very interesting spots are bypassed to follow a somewhat less interesting trail.

True to its name & Unforgettable
Olivia | 03/01/2006

"This is 3 DVDs in one. The places it takes you, most likely you've already known. But what's unforgettable is that it unfolds the most amazing events about that place right in front of you - the things that made these places truely spetacular. It is about lives, cultures or the true forces and beauty of nature. Each splendidly displayed and then moved on to others. It makes you hungry for more.

Great video

"I have watched over 50 travel videos and this is one of the best. In addition to showing the beautiful scenery of each place they visited, this video also did a very good job of incorporating the local cultures.
Highly recommended for anyone planning a trip around the world, or for someone who just wants to dream about an around the world trip."
A World Class Trip Around the World.

"There's a very personal touch to this DVD. Everything from the narration to the camera angles makes you feel as if you're being escorted by your own personal tour guide on a year-long odyssey.
Don't try to view the whole DVD in one sitting (It's 170 minutes long!) Instead, you might enjoy it more if you divide it up into "seasons", and watch a couple segments each evening. (The DVD is divided in a way to make this easy to do. For example: New Year's Eve in Paris, Christmas in New York, New England in Autumn, etc.)
Take this armchair vacation soon. You're sure to enjoy your travels."
A must have for the travel enthusiast

"My ultimate dream is to take a year and travel the world. I was enthralled when I viewed this dvd. It is like having three dvds in one. All of the classical places on earth that a true travel enthusiast wants to visit are included in this dvd. It does not disappoint with it's incredible scenery and photography. I felt I was actually there. A must have!"
