We adored our private tour of the Louvre with Pablo! He fully maximized our time and shared so many special details about the building and its most famous pieces of art. My two daughters, ages 7 and 11, remained engaged the entire time. This experience is a must for families visiting Paris!

From families to couples, here's what travelers are saying about Context's expert-led tours around the world.
"Tim was great. Knowledgeable. Cheeky. Motivating. It was a wonderful tour. We could have talked for hours. This is the exact reason small groups are the best. One on one, non scripted information from a dedicated and knowledgeable professional. Thank you, Tim."
“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.”
“Fantastic way to learn or refresh your understanding of key aspects of Britain’s history. One of the great things about a Context private tour is tailoring your experience to your group's interests. This was our third Context tour and we’re 3 for 3 for top shelf guides - highly recommended!"

Don't just take our word for it
The review link didn't work because I don't have the password saved on my iPhone unlike on our home iMac. But the tour was excellent - an A+. Our guide, Tiago Neiva, was excellent - including finding us after our taxi driver left us at the wrong place even though the taxi driver had the Context Travel information with the address and map in hand! Because Tiago realized as we walked along my interest in the Romans in Lisbon, he took us by the José Saramago Foundation with its exquisite archeological site on the glass (?) covered ground floor showcasing Roman-era walls and fish-processing tanks - something I'd not seen even mentioned in the several travel guides that I'd read. And of course Tiago took us by the Roman theater ruins that are usually mentioned. And he was a very likable fellow - not unimportant. Again an A+!
The tour was excellent. On time, 3 guests one guide. Isabelle was very informative, great knowledge of the Cathedral, religious history, and details within the Cathedral. We also saw the surrounding area with interesting discussions and ended at the Cluny Museum. Very happy with the whole experience
