James Jackson The Times (UK) 07/15/2022
.. This six-part tour is as scenic and transportative as you’d expect, but with May’s self-deprecation and winningly dry sense of humour in the mix too. Bene! Go to Full Review

Estrella86 Feb 15 I love seeing May's travel adventures. He brings out a lot of cultural activities that you may not see in other shows, and he brings his usual personality and self deprecating humor. I hope he continues to do more of the travel shows. I loved that he has different traveling companions throughout. I do think though that he appeals to a specific crowd. He isn't going to the top places in Italy or anything. He is going to unique places. For example, it was unique to find a place in Italy that was Scottish and the history behind that. See more Michael V 11/16/2024 This is the James May show with very little insight into the country. Production is badly researched and the whole series focussed on May looking ridiculous with occasional 30 second segments of information. It’s not a travel show granted, but this is just very poor. See more EV K 02/23/2024 Insufferable. May's constant efforts at being 'witty' are at this point utterly insufferable. The man is NOT funny. He completely ruins every scene, it's like watching him beating a dead horse. His efforts at appearing to be a knowledgeable well-read witty raconteur wear thin very quickly. So boring. See more Anna R 02/13/2024 Total rubbish. He made the most beautiful place in the world look boring. Didn't even have budget to film coloseum? Who makes a programme about Rome but is not allowed to film the most important sights! Disgrace. Very boring programme! See more Read all reviews
