This week marks the premiere of the latest episode of "The Royal Tour", a one-hour PBS special hosted by travel journalist Peter Greenberg that showcases a country’s tourism spots -- and history, culture, food, personal stories and current events -- but with a twist: the country's head of state is Greenberg’s tour guide.
Our editor in chief Arnie Weissmann has been along for the filming of several "Royal Tour" episodes, and most recently he was in Tanzania to see the country with its current president, Samia Suluhu Hassan.
To have a president, prime minister or member of the royal family show you around their country seems like an incredible opportunity, not to mention one filled with logistical hurdles. Both Greenberg and Weissmann joined the Folo to talk about the origins of the "Royal Tour", its protocols, some of Greenberg’s greatest memories and the most stirring moments of their time in Tanzania.
This episode was recorded Thursday, April 14, and has been edited for length and clarity.
