Would Give it 6-Stars If I Could

Few things make life more worth living than travel and art, and Rick Steves is ultimate guide and teacher. These brilliantly narrated tours will deeply enrich your understanding, helping you to get the absolute most out of your experience. I only wish I had these the first time I went to London. And the next time I'm there, I'll use them all!

If you've not been to London, these episodes will make you feel like you are there. If you've been before, they'll call to mind the best of what the city has to offer. And if you are longing to go, these will have you booking tickets and making reservations at the B & B.

More!

Please, Sir, I want some more.

Not as good as being there, but hey.

I've never made it to London and it's not looking like I will anytime soon. But Rick Steves is very good at what he does, and if this is as close as I get, I can live with that. I have a good imagination, and he does a great job of painting pictures for it.
