I agree that playing tour guide is a great way to see a place with new eyes. It can also get you out to those 'touristy' destinations that are so easy to miss when you live in a place.
Choosing a tour guide sounds exciting. It reminds me of the beginning of an O. Henry story.
Walking is a great past time. It's good for the heart, legs, and lungs, but also for thinking things over.
Safety, I must agree, should always be a priority. I would like to think, however, that after some timid ventures into those dangerous parts of your city you might find that they are not so 'bad' after all. Use your own common sense and discretion of course, but challenges to perception like this are, in my opinion, a significant part of travel.
