Walking tours for the deeply curious

Because travel should be a tool for immersive and respectful discovery, not for checking off destinations on a list.

Every Tour is a Story Waiting to be Told

Context walking tours unlock hidden histories, inviting you experience the stories and culture that lie beyond the surface of both iconic venues and lesser-known destinations. Spend time with welcoming, knowledgable historians, archaeologists, food experts, art historians, and locals who are eager to unveil the secrets most travelers miss.

Book a private tour for your party to explore a city side-by-side with your own local expert. Connect on the topics that interest you most and get a structured–not scripted–walking exploration of the destinations and venues that call to you. Context walking tours will connect you to the soul of a place through the eyes and stories of those who call it home.

What People Are Saying

"Our food tour was a highlight of our time in Paris! It’s rare to spend an afternoon with someone who has such a vast knowledge of food, wine and all things related to travel! We thoroughly enjoyed every minute with our guide Seth. When we return to Paris again, this food tour will be at the top of our list."

Paris Food Tour: Essentials

"The tour was wonderful as was Cecilia! She provided so much context for all the sites we visited and it seemed that there was no question she could not answer. Would highly recommend this tour to anyone looking to see the highlights of the Vatican!!"

The Complete Vatican Tour

"I loved this tour. The combination tour of the two sites worked so well. I knew I wanted to see the Sagrada Familia but the tour of the Hospital Paul was an lexpected delight. Our guide, Tate, was a fantastic guide. Her in-depth knowledge of not only the two sites but Spanish history made this tour very special. Highly recommend."
