Summary:

Blind comedian Chris McCausland travels the globe to explore some of the world's most iconic landmarks in a new and unique way that discovers things the ordinary traveller might miss. In each episode, reluctant traveller Chris is joined by a special celebrity guest as his travelling companion. He explores The Acropolis in Athens with legendary comedian Harry Hill, The Colosseum in Rome with comedian and presenter Tom Allen, the ancient city of Petra in Jordan with comedian, actor and writer Guz Khan and Niagara Falls in Canada with broadcaster Liza Tarbuck. The companion's job is to provide audio descriptions of the wonders, and also try to engage Chris' other senses, to prove that there's so much more to those famous landmarks than what they look like. Can they convince Chris it's worth getting off his couch after all?
