Customer Review: Average View of European Countries
There are some really breathtaking scenes in Sweden,Norway and Finland….they are just mesmerizing!They show sheer natural beauty that is abundant in these countries. However,the effort fails to capture anything about Spain and Portugal at all…there are only passing references to Madrid and Lisbon that might have been a little better. In some places the photography is just high class….but at the same time in other places the camera work is really poor…showing only dark images.This sure doesn’t help. In its informational content I feel there is a lot to be desired.It is able to provide only a broader picture…some elaborate descriptions might help. In short,the feature can be rated as average.It could have been presented in a more dramatic fashion.The narration is not very good either.
Customer Review: A pleasant, easy way to ride the train…
While the first video in this series displayed luxurious or special-purpose mountain trains, this one focuses a bit more on giving us a European tour (through Spain, Portugal, France, Belgium, The Netherlands, and Sweden) on the kind of trains ordinary folks are likely to use for day trips. The scenery, as viewed from the trains, is quite interesting, and the narrator takes time to educate the audience about ancient castles seen along the way, and their history. The background music is a bit tepid, but on balance the trips are enjoyable.
