Context Trips - 2009 Season
Our trips are much different than a normal packaged tour. Instead of a single guide leading the group, we pass you from specialist to specialist depending on the topic, which makes this a much more in-depth experience. We also limit group size to no more than eight people which allows us to go at the pace of the group and adhere to sustainable travel principles.
"The docents at Context Travel are scholars who are well-versed in fields like architecture, history archaeology and art."
- 2- and 8-day trips
- led by scholars
- Small groups (6 or 8 people max)
- themes include archaeology, art history, and cuisine

Mini Trips
In addition to our longer trips, we're offering the following 2 1/2 day trips that are designed to orient and immerse you in one of our cities.Each trip features a series of walking seminars led by our scholars interwoven with each other to create a deep learning experience. We also include meals, many of which are programmed by our culinary docents. A great way to begin a longer, independently organized trip of your own or as an add-on before or after a longer packaged tour.
