Welcome to Ankara, Turkey! A fascinating city with excellent history, fantastic food, and unbelievable views. Today we will be taking a walk through most of Ankara's neighborhood, Ulus. Ulus is one of the oldest and most historic districts in the city due to its vast collection of museums, restaurants, archaeological sites and artifacts, and so much more. The first half of our tour will be making our way up through some of the winding and steep hills in order to get the best 360 degree view of the city at Ankara Castle. Then we will be able to make our way down to our last stop of Gençlik Park. We are going to have so much fun today, be ready for some hills, views, history, and food!

Welcome to the incredible city of Tokyo! I am so glad you decided to join me today. We are going to make our way through some of the oldest and most historical sites in the city, but we will slowly make our way to more modern additions. It will be a nice walk through history, almost like a time machine! We will begin in the town of Asakua, known for its traditional Japanese architecture, temples, and shrines. Our halfway point is perfectly marked as we cross the Sumida River, to reach the town that surrounds the Tokyo Skytree, a more modern section of the city. I will make sure to point out as many sites as possible, as there truly are so many amazing places to learn about. I want to add that as we are ending at the Tokyo Skytree so I highly recommend searching for tickets online prior to our arrival so you can tour the tower once you and I have completed our own! So what do you say? Let's get this show on the road!

Hello! I'm Sue from Virginia, and my husband and I lived in Cihangir (pronounced chee HAN geer) for three months and learned all about the shops and little restaurants in the arts and antique district of the city. We absolutely loved our neighborhood and learned it inside and out while we were here. This tour starts a quick walk or tram ride from the tourist area and right across the street from where the cruise ships dock, but you'll quickly be in a fun and thriving area with very few tourists and the best antiquing in the city. Also an amazing bakery. And Sesame Street. The real one. https://youtu.be/eA7SpoSA8yc
