Claire is everything you would expect from a Context guide: Knowledgeable, erudite, experienced, and gracious. She grew up in the U.S. and she has taught English in Turkey so her English is perfect, but she's lived in Turkey for 30 years so her Turkish is also excellent. She is a student of the culture and she communicates what she knows effortlessly. My wife and I enjoyed this tour very much and we benefited from it greatly.

The heart of a Context tour is learning the reality of the situation and the moment in time. There are no easy answers and Context makes it easier to say what is important

We had a great tour! It was a delightful introduction to the city and Claire was the perfect guide--very responsive to what we were interested in and so knowledgeable when answering our questions. It was definitely a highlight of our visit to Istanbul.
