I don’t where to start on what is wrong with this. It is nothing but interviews — many with a vested interest (restaurants, etc.) in gaining publicity. There are virtually no landscape shots or anything that tries to convey the excitement of traveling on this historic road. There is very little historical perspective (no old photos or movie footage incorporated). The tour itself is in an RV, which is a slap in the face of the history of this road. Read some of the highly rated books on Route 66 or drive it, but when it comes to this DVD set, take the bypass and avoid it altogether.

This is a very professional, nice looking DVD. The only problem I have is there is too much time spent intereviewing folks along the way. In fact, I’d guess 75 to 85% of the time, we are seeing old timers talking about the good old days, instead of seeing Route 66, which is why I bought the DVD.

We have enjoyed these DVDs so much that we have booked the flights to go and drive some of the old road on our next holiday. They really give an insight into the mythical attraction of Route 66, and the history of the road. I can see us spending several holidays to cover the whole distance.
