Movie Reviews of Globe Trekker: Rome
Movie Review: Nice Rome Travelogue... BUT...
Summary: 4 Stars
In this episode from the Travel Channel's TV series, "Globe Trekker", our charming host Estelle Bingham guides us to all the top tourist attractions in Rome: the Vatican, the Colosseum, the Trastevere, the Piazza Campidoglio, etc. That's all well and good, but unlike Travel Channel's other longrunning series "Great Hotels" and "Passport with Samantha Brown", this show provides us with no information whatsoever on where to stay while we're in Rome. No recommendations on the best hotels, the best restaurants. Scarce travel information on getting around "town". We're not even told when Rome's peak and low tourist seasons are.
That being said, this is a decent introduction to the historic sites of Rome, but if you're actually planning a trip to Rome someday, you'll need a lot more than this to go by.
Summary of Globe Trekker: Rome
Situated halfway down Italy's western coast, Rome is a vast city with an historic heart. Once only a few villages, Rome became the greatest city of the ancient world. There are now entire countries that owe their calendar, law and language to Rome. Traveler Estelle Bingham starts her exploration of the city at the Forum, the hub of ancient Rome. From there she visits Michelangelo's beautiful Piazza Campidoglio, then moves on to stroll through charming Trastevere. She completes her tour at the Pantheon, one of Rome's great ancient buildings and the resting place of Raphael. Along the way... Learn how to make Roman pizza. Kick start the day with some real Italian coffee. View the greatest private art collection in Europe at the Villa Borghese. Take a tour of Vatican City, the smallest state in the word, and attend a service. Visit the impressive Coliseum and imagine ancient gladiatorial combats.Documentary DVD Video
