I have used Great Courses videos to study photography, nutrition, tai chi and qigong, microeconomics, and English literature.
I have been very happy with these courses and think their travel videos might be great preparation for trips to the following countries:
-Germany
-Vietnam
-Great Britain
-Japan
-Norway
-France (Paris - Belle Epoque)
-Italy (Ancient Rome)
Information about these travel videos follows:

Happy Trails!
