Context Travel

For all the self-explorers out there, Context Travel welcomes you! Whether you are keen to stroll the streets of Venice stopping to enjoy a bite and aperitif or learn about the history of Broadway in New York with a musical theater historian in your ear, our passionate storytellers will whisk you beyond the beaten path and inspire curiosity at every turn. In addition to the exceptional, expert-led tours that we operate around the world, we believe audio guides fill a need for many travelers, particularly for those planning last minute, who are more budget conscious, or those eager to reduce the impact of over-tourism by exploring lesser-known destinations. We're proud to partner with VoiceMap Audio Tours to continue to provide flexible solutions for travelers. https://lnkd.in/gY5SbfgN #traveltrends #tourcompany #audiotours #privatetours

"Always look through open doors because you never know what can be hiding right behind them! The history of Paris is literally written into its streets and buildings, and there are so many cool parts of the city’s past that can be hiding in plain sight… when you know where to look. My favorite examples are the Cour du Commerce Saint-André and the Rue Monge entrance to the Arènes de Lutèce. In both cases, rather unassuming doors open portals into Paris d’autrefois." - Lindsey, Paris Ambassador What does it mean to be a Context Ambassador?

👋 Bidding farewell to ContextLearning.com (read below) In 2020, Context Learning was born as a way to keep curious travelers and lifelong learners engaged with the world and pursuing knowledge, even when travel wasn't possible. Over the last four years, thousands tuned in to support Context experts, diving deep into the topics they cared about most — from survey courses about Tudor History and studies in the lesser known facts of World War II to even the most niche topics like “Feline Masterpieces: Iconic Cats from the Art History.” Together we stayed inspired, explored new destinations from our living rooms, and once we could travel again, prepared for our adventures back into the world. Our community participated in over 4,000 seminars and over 200 courses with more than 400 experts. Now, as the world has continued to evolve, it’s time to embark on a different adventure.

Our Pre-Trip Talks will continue on ContextTravel.com, where you can inspire your future travels, learn before you go, and show up better prepared to connect authentically with places and cultures around the globe.
