So I told you the good, well, here comes the bad. For a Blu-Ray disc, I am seriously not impressed with the picture quality. If this was a regular DVD, I wouldn't have thought anything about it, but I expect better when the cover of the DVD says "Stunning High-Definition". (Not even close!) If you don't mind elevator music, then the background music might not irritate you as much as it did us - but even still, they could have at least used traditional music from the areas shown. And the narrator? I don't know who choose her to talk about these sites, but she left much to be desired. I don't need a perky tour guide for the show, but at least give us someone who doesn't drone on... and on...
There are no special features included on this disc.
