James Jackson Times (UK) .. 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! Jul 15, 2022 Full Review Read all reviews

Michael V 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. Rated 0.5 out of 5 stars 11/16/24 Full Review EV K 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. Rated 0.5 out of 5 stars 02/23/24 Full Review Anna R 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! Rated 0.5 out of 5 stars 02/13/24 Full Review barbara-ann o Brilliant travel show. Interesting good stories and funny! Rated 5 out of 5 stars 09/30/23 Full Review Read all reviews
