“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!"

Chris was exceptional. He made our touring day cery special. We have been traveling for almost two weeks in Japan with private tours every day and Chris has been our best tour guide, Chris even joined us on the train for one stop at the end of our tour to ensure we knew how to get back to our hotel. All we can say is “Wow!!!”
Karin, who spent half a day with us in Kyoto, is very knowledgeable about the history and the styles of the temples that we visited. She was also very accommodating of Katherine’s sore knees and Tom’s cold on that particular day.
Anthony was excellent - he was very knowledgeable and personable, and did a great job making the tour lively for both us and the children. We would definitely recommend!
