Tours led by scholars, not scripts
Context's guides are working art historians, archaeologists, chefs, and academics in the city you're standing in. Groups stay small — usually six or fewer — so the conversation is real, not a megaphone.
Context Travel is a certified B Corp, Doorways' editorial partner on the mindful-travel side. We share the same standards on who books a private guide and who waves a flag.

A private cooking class with a Michelin chef. A vineyard with the founder. A truffle hunt in November with the dog who actually finds them. Tell us the brief and we'll have our partner build the experience around your week.
