Customer Review: Travel with Class
This series has not yet been released, however I have seen and recorded most of these programs on television. I recommend this set to everyone, but especially to those who share Rudy Maxa’s taste in travel style.
Rudy (aka: Lucky Bas!#%d in my home) includes most of the reigonal highlights, fine local cuisine, and he usually throws in a lesser known activity as well. Rudy travels in style. He stays in posh hotels, eats gourmet cuisine, drinks fine wine and he prefers riding over hiking whenever possible.
If your style is more down to Earth, I suggest watching Rick Steves travel shows. Rick Steves likes hiking, picnicing, meeting the locals. He stays at 2 star hotels or B&B’s, and he has a lot of money saving tips.
I really love them both. I wish I was in the business of making travel DVD’s (Rudy and Steve - Do you have any job openings?)!
