 Long way round review. Jul 05, 2006
By Manjelk
"Croney"
Excellent DVD, my wife and I put the kids to bed, jumped under a blanket on the couch, and with a cup of tea, intended to watch just 1 episode. 4 hrs later, we dragged ourselves to bed, with a date to watch the second disc the next night. All this on a school nite !
I have lent the dvd to a few mates, and they each say the same thing, it is a very entertaining show and you cant watch just one episode. Not since 'Band of Brothers' have we sat through several episodes in one session. Now, where's my helmet woman..

Incredible Adventure Jul 18, 2010
By Christine
I love this program and recommend it for anyone who has been swept up by the intoxication of travel. McGregor and Boorman really capture their passion and excitement to experience the countries they pass through. They don't shy away from showing their frustration or feelings of defeat when the road gets really boggy and hard to ride by motorcycle. Because their backup vehicles are not really with them, they cannot depend on the vehicles when they get into rough patches. They have to rise to the occasion and make it work. They camp out in some of the most spectacular places on earth and always seem to appreciate their surroundings. The ride in Mongolia is amazing and when they get to the Road of Bones and its rushing rivers things get pretty interesting.
I also love that Ewan McGregor, though famous and wealthy, just seems to relax and let the viewer see his experience in a real and honest way. There are plenty of egos who would have allowed their fame to color how they come off in the program. After an episode of the show, you forget who he is and he just becomes another traveler you may meet along the way. The show becomes about the trip which is why I was watching in the first place.
So few of us can take off three months or have the funds to safely plan such a wild endeavor. And as a woman who loves to travel (and loves traveling by motorcycle), off-road adventures into the backwoods of Siberia are sadly not an option. I'm so glad that these guys chose to document their trip so we can experience their travels with them. I felt like I was on the back of one of their bikes just watching the gorgeous scenery unfold in front of me.
Travel? Adventure? Motorcycles? Asia? People? -- any of these Dec 30, 2011
By J. R. Smith
This will appeal to a wide variety of people. We loved it for thre scenes in Mongolia, from where we had returned a few weeks earlier. Definitely matched our experiences but made for even more excitement in places we never got to. Wetted our appetite to return to some and NOT to others. Slow start to the video but you can fast-forward through the planning to the actual trip. We found it worth viewing from start to finish!
Long way round Jan 05, 2011
By Ssnake
I had a bad time ordering this DVD. I live in Illinois and the DVD that I get was not able to be viewed because it was sold to me in the US without being able to be veiwed on a US DVD.
Other than that it is a great series.
Excellent Video. Dec 16, 2010
By KC Shep
Excellent video for anyone who likes two wheels. Maybe a little dramatic after watching it twice but excellent for planning a bike trip and also excellent entertainment.
