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!"

I’ve been on many tours in Europe, always searching for new, interesting and enlightening experiences. I found all this in the London.Legal History tour with Imogen. She was articulate in her presentation, interesting with facts and unusual tidbits, and was very familiar with the courts and their history. One special moment occurred when we found a court room in session in which an appeal of a murder conviction was taking place. This was the highlight of the tour for me, I can highly recommend this tour and Imogen for anyone interested in better understanding London’s legal history.
Jane was absolutely lovely. She had all the patience and kindness for our 8 yo with adhd and her many questions and zero filter while also keeping our 9yo engaged too. She was flexible and quick to match our speed and modify our pace and sites, all the while engaging us with interesting information, enriching London history! Highly recommend Jane and this tour. Thank you!
Manfredi was just wonderful. So full of knowledge! Clearly he loves what he does as he does it so well, another wonderful context tour in the books. Looking forward to our tour tomorrow .
