Travel around to ancient city (4)

I believe the answer is:

tour

'travel around' is the definition.
(synonyms)

'to ancient city' is the wordplay.
'ancient city' becomes 'ur'.
'to'+'ur'='TOUR'

(Other definitions for tour that I've seen before include "Go round" , "Short trip; spell of duty" , "Rout on excursion" , "Extended journey" , "Trip, visit" .)

I've seen this clue in the Sydney Morning Herald.
