The Reviews Are In:
We’ve taken three Context tours of Istanbul in the last 6 days. This last one, with Claire, was emblematic of virtually all the Context tours we’ve taken over the last decade. Deeply informed, fully engaged, a quiet enthusiasm which can only be sustained, day after day, year after year, by a fully felt passion for the subject. No matter how many different guides we use in no matter how many countries, none ever comes close to the professionalism of the Context staff
