Tour Guides as Public Scholars


Greetings! Every single day people around the world are exposed to new information about history, politics, art, architecture, geography, culture and more on excursions in general, and from tour guides, in particular. 

Shannan and I have dear traveling companions, Kirsty and David, who live in Cambridge, England. The four of us travel every two years or so. This year’s trip took our foursome to Prague and Budapest. As one might imagine, we visited all the tourist highlights including castles, cathedrals, bridges, thermal spas, museums and the like. One of the most memorable activities of the trip came in Budapest. We joined a handful of others for a walking expedition billed as RUIN PUBS AND ALTERNATIVE SPOTS TOUR OF BUDAPEST. Our tour guide and Public Scholar in Budapest, Attila, did not disappoint
