Avoiding the well-known tourist attractions, each journey in the Six Degrees series begins with a traveller arriving in a new city with just a single point of contact. From this initial encounter a chain of connectivity is forged across the city as one person leads to another and another. Meeting six strangers in sixty minutes, our traveller experiences the city through the eyes of some of its most colourful and clued-in residents, proving that it’s the people that give a city its soul.
In this third series, we are treated to unique guided tours of Dublin, Istanbul, Bangkok, Perth, Taipei, Miami, Rio de Janeiro Tokyo and Kaohsiung.
