Holiday Magic with Context

Picture yourself wandering Vienna’s Christmas markets, snow falling softly, as a historian shares the wild imperial tales behind every steaming mug of glühwein. Or slipping into a tiny Naples workshop where an artisan shows you how they’ve been crafting those glowing nativity scenes for generations.

That’s the magic of diving into a Context holiday tour. No loud groups, no scripted lines. Just you, a ridiculously knowledgeable local expert, and the kind of stories that make you forget the cold. 

Whatever lights you up—art, history, food, architecture—we’ll match you with the perfect guide who turns twinkling lights into stories you’ll retell every December for the rest of your life.

Deep, Engaging, Tailored: The Tour for Everyone in Your Party

Conversations, not umbrella tours

"Tim was great. Knowledgeable. Cheeky. Motivating. It was a wonderful tour. We could have talked for hours. This is the exact reason small groups are the best. One on one, non scripted information from a dedicated and knowledgeable professional. Thank you, Tim."

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!"

This was an interesting tour with a wide sampling of food items. Our guide, Niccolo, was knowledgeable and helpful.
We had a fun and interesting tour with Susan. She has extensive knowledge of Japan history and culture and explained things well. In addition, she went above and beyond to help us find a store selling Fushimi wraps.
We had a very interesting tour with Olesia. We enjoyed seeing the very advent guard architecture mixed with historical shrines. Olesia, our guide, was very knowledgeable and went out of her way to help us use the train system to get back to our hotel. It was a fun and interesting morning.
