Andrea was an amazing tour guide. He was full of excellent knowledge and kept us entertained from start to finish. We loved the tour! Thank you so much!!

Liz is an expert in Roman architecture and its preservation. Our group of 3 (one seasoned visitor to Italy, the other two first-timers) appreciated the depth of information she gave, targeted to our level of knowledge of Roman history and architecture. She was willing to answer ALL our questions, was generous with her information, and flexible to respond to our needs. She took us on serendipitous visits to parts of the Forum area off the beaten trail. When members of our party stopped to help an injured child, Liz volunteered to fetch the medical team. In addition, one of our members had limited mobility, and Liz was solicitous about her ease and comfort during the trip. Altogether, a stunning morning in Rome with a delightfully informed guide. We thoroughly recommend Liz.

Our tour of the Colosseum with Antonella was one of the highlights of our trip to Rome. It was a brutally hot day, but Antonella kept the entire experience engaging, energetic, and fun for both the adults and the kids in our group. Her deep knowledge and storytelling brought the history to life, and time flew by despite the heat. Context Tours represent the difference between seeing and knowing. Thousands of people visit the Colosseum every day and leave having seen an incredible monument. We left with an understanding of its history, architecture, and the lives of the people who experienced it nearly 2,000 years ago. Antonella answered every question with depth and appreciation, making the experience memorable for all. We didn't just see the Colosseum—we truly got to know it. Grazie, Antonella!
