 Entertainment not practical on any level Jul 08, 2010
The host was annoying, worked way too hard to be "funny". Most of his humor fell totally flat. Perhaps the European English speaking market would find him "funny". For a host in a foreign country, Ian has a thick local dialectal accent, uses too many colonialisms and non standard words, and speaks too fast. However with that said, there were a few moments that were amusing, and at the end Ian did take a swim in the ice water. If he came off as a goofball, at least he wasn't the ugly demanding arrogant tourist.
After watching 4 globe trekkers there is nothing educational about them, there is no way anyone would plan a trip or learn enough about the countries to gain practical advice. If you want to watch a standard plan your travel tv show watch the series Travel With Rick Steves available on Amazon.
 excellant Nov 25, 2007
I showed this to some friends who were in Russia in July and they were most impressed.

 Globe Trekker hits the mark on this one. Jun 18, 2007
This is one of the better Globe Trekker Videos. Ian Wright manages to pull this one off by showing us beautiful sights in Moscow and St. Petersburg. The onion domes are a beautiful sight. I cannot wait to explore the Izmaylolsky Sunday Market for old soviet souvenirs.
I really enjoyed the blank expression on the face of the grocery worker when Ian decided to buy some bread. It was priceless!
Overall, this was a great introduction to Russia. A job well done.

 Very interesting Apr 10, 2007
I enjoyed the DVD. I found the host to be a bit annoying, as he seemed to make every effort to be funny, which was not necessary. However, I also found the information he imparted to be interesting and quite helpful for someone planning to visit Moscow and St. Petersburg. It gives a taste of life in those cities, including the local people, food, and places they frequent, along with the normal tourist places you would want to see.

Some good basic information Jul 17, 2005
Having been to St. Petersburg I think some things could have been added about the city and added some more historical places such as Yusopov Palace and Catherines Palace at Pushkin just to name a couple. But at a high level this video was good and the places that were visited were a good choice and the video footage of them were very well done. If you are looking just to get some basic exposure to Russia and little about Russian Culture, then this video is for you. If you have travelled to Russia before and taking in a new city. It is just enough to give you some good sights to see your first few days.
