Deep, Engaging, Tailored: The Tour for Everyone in Your Party

Conversations, not umbrella tours

"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."

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!"

What a special way to see so many well-known landmarks and learn about their history. Our tour guide Rebecca was a wonderful companion as we walked through the Westminster area. Parliament, Big Ben and Westminster Abbey are familiar and famous names, but Bex placed them all in context for us. Our journey on the clipper ferry down the Thames to the Tower gave us a new vantage point, highlighting both the ancient and modern buildings of London. We loved seeing skyscrapers next to the medieval castle, prison and fortress that is the Tower of London, and bits of Roman wall. One highlight was learning more about the sculptures and statues and other monuments along our walk. Particularly intriguing were panels highlighting the Battle of Britain down at the Victoria embankment, and the sundial outside Tower Hill. Thanks again Bex for our delightful tour! My husband declared it his favorite tour ever!
We have taken multiple tours with Context, and our Munich history tour with Achim lived up to our high expectations. He has a wealth of knowledge which he shared in an approachable, lively, and informative way. Achim is able to adjust to the pre-existing knowledge baseline of his clients and, we liked how at one point in the tour he gave us various options for where to go and what to see. I would recommend this tour to anyone interested in WW2 history.
Emily was a fantastic tour guide. She tailored the tour for our interests and really made the history come alive. She answered every question - the breadth of her knowledge was so impressive. Would highly recommend.
