"The Royal Tour," a one-hour PBS special hosted by travel journalist Peter Greenberg,  showcases a country’s tourism spots, history, culture, food, personal stories and current events. But with a twist: The country's head of state is Greenberg’s tour guide.

To have a president, prime minister or member of the royal family show a journalist and camera crew around their country seems like an incredible opportunity, not to mention one filled with logistical hurdles. Both Greenberg and Travel Weekly editor in chief Arnie Weissmann join 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 filming a "Royal Tour" in Tanzania.

Our summer 2022 series revisits some of our favorite Folo by Travel Weekly episodes. This episode was originally published April 18. It has been edited for length and clarity.
