See the world in Context Personal tours for the intentional traveler

For the curious

Some people are deeply curious about the world. They’re interested in how it works. How history and architecture and food and fashion and art and everything sensuous, exciting and intelligent is connected. How their own way is never the only way. 

So when these interested people travel, they travel deeply. 

Our Context experts add to this experience. Academic insights alongside untold stories. Beautiful nuance and local subtlety. Genuine world wisdom.

“Our morning with Rafael was the quintessential Context experience - and why we keep coming back. We saw a part of Tokyo we would never have experienced on our own, but more importantly we left with a deeper understanding of Tokyo, why it’s developed the way it has, and how its citizens actually live their lives. So much more valuable (and interesting) than simply seeing the sights.”

Experts, not guides

“William literally writes the book(s) on the D-Day memorials which led to an incredibly informative day tour. From age 77 to 11, we were all captivated by his knowledge and his ability to connect the dots.”

Tailored, not one-size fits all

“Fantastic way to learn or refresh your understanding of key aspects of the history of Britain... One of the great things about a Context private tour is your guide. You can tailor your experience to your group's individual interests. This was our third Context tour. We are 3 for 3 in terms of top shelf guides, each very knowledgeable and personable. Highly recommended!"

Lisa is personable, professional, and fun! This was the best tour in my three weeks abroad! Lisa is incredible; her training, education, and hands-on experience in the chocolate making process--from growing and processing beans to making delicious treats--makes her a top tier chocolate professional. She is very flexible in her presentation and tailors it to the customer(s) rather than just repeating a canned speech. Lisa has made the Context Paris Food Tour a memorable part of my vacation, and I truly appreciate her expertise, style, and genuineness. Thank you Lisa!
Estela was excellent and knowledgeable. She provided great insight into the locations covered. But, we were expecting to cover the moorish castle at the top of the hill and not just the Palace and the private home.
We had a wonderful evening learning the history of Rome through the buildings and churches of piazza navona. Dimosthenis was a wonderful guide!
