New York - June 12, 2012: Ever since journalist and travel-guru, Peter Greenberg, launched his one-hour Royal Tour travelogues on The Travel Channel a decade ago, he has recorded unique travel experiences while being "guided" by the King of Jordan, the President of Mexico, the President of Peru and the Prime Minister of New Zealand, to name a few.

Now that the show has been upgraded to the U.S.'s PBS (Public Broadcasting System), Greenberg's latest venture has him touring Israel with Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu. "It's been a long time coming," says Haim Gutin, Israel Commissioner for Tourism North and South America, "as it's been three years since we invited Peter to Israel to scout the show, and we're thrilled that it's finally in process."

Greenberg's Royal Tour of Israel is set to appear on U.S. television in late 2012, and has the Prime Minister acting as his personal guide throughout the country, from Rosh Hanikra in the north, to Eilat on the Red Sea, to Jerusalem, Tel Aviv and the Dead Sea.
