Experiences Guided by Curiosity

Where will your curiosity take you?

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!"

It was a pleasure to spend the morning with Carlos. He was knowledgeable and friendly. We learned a great deal about the history of Madrid plus some interesting and obscure tidbits. As an added bonus, Carlos gave us many suggestions for dining in Madrid, and recommended ideas for an itinerary in Toledo. We heartily recommend a tour with Carlos.
Marvin was enthusiastic, knowledgeable and extremely engaging. He went out of his way to make sure that it was a tour to remember.
Amazing tour! Shinya was extremely knowledgeable and well versed about the Geisha. Thank you so much for everything!!
