Client Accolades
Those who have not experienced Context may not be able to grasp the unique connection a traveler experiences in the hands of someone who speaks your native language, but translates just for you the language of the soul of his country. There is no greater gift than to translate that beauty across the cultural divide. Thank you for showing me the Venice that is not Disney World. Without Context, my European travels would be constrained by assumptions and language barriers. I would be merely a tourist. With Context, I break free for moments and, wide-eyed, gaze through a portal to the real, the organic. My thanks for this could not be overestimated.
Nancy Little, July 2008
My family and I attended your context tour of the Cloisters today and were very happy to see that you have continued in NYC the high standards we found with Context in Italy. It is always a privilege to be in the presence of such scholars in their element.

All of our activities with Context Rome were awesome! Each guide had his/her own style, was knowledgeable, adapted to our needs — in short well worth the price!
Joanne Brattain, 28 October 2006
We had a great time in Italy and the four Context tours that we took were fabulous. We could not have asked for better guides in Florence and in Rome. There was no comparison between a Context tour and the other tours that I saw people on. We feel very fortunate to have used Context.

Our docents were so knowledgeable and gave us so much insight into what we were seeing a truly enjoyable and educational experience! Thank you for helping make a lot of wonderful memories!
John and Darlene Skellion, 10 October 2006
We cannot rave enough about your quality, and the amazing knowledge your docents have of their subject area. We felt like we were in a graduate level college course when our guide explained the historical significance of the places we were seeing.
Hilarie and Joel Wasserman 19 September 2006
The best thing that has happened to us in planning our Italian trip is the recommendation to use Context. No matter what question I have had, your team has given a thorough and helpful answer.

My wife and I thoroughly enjoyed our Context Paris experience. The website was very easy to use, and everything ran very efficiently! It was an experience that would have been impossible to duplicate on our own.
Jordan Pockross 16 July 2006
The tour was anything but canned. It was well organized and informative but beyond that it was her deep passion for her city as well as her rich knowledge that made the difference.
Tish Sandos 11 July 2006
Thank you for the information and the lovely map and directions. Even though I have a pretty good knowledge of Florence by now, it is a display of how careful and graciously concerned Context is about their guest. Mille grazie.
Maryann Terillo 6 June 2006
We wanted to let you know that our cups runneth over with our experiences on these tours! The depth and breadth of [the docents'] knowledge and the ease of sharing the fruits of their studies in clear terms was awesome! We are still reeling from the experience! Many thanks for your help in making our trip to Rome an incredibly rich experience!
Glenn Gissler and Susan Harris 19 May 2006
I can’t begin to tell you how much our Context Rome experiences enhanced our trip. The insiders views were so important, and helped us feel that we lived in Rome if only for a short while!
Joanne Bartram 15 May 2006
In each case, the docent you provided was a treasure. Each were highly trained in their field, yet able to discuss the topics at hand with the likes of we amateurs. They were willing to accommodate the needs of members of the group, both related to mobility, as well as interests.
Joan Zack 24 July 2007
You and others at Context Travel most certainly contributed to the success of our trip. I mentioned to Kathryn that I felt like we were traveling with a guardian angel at our side. We did so sincerely appreciate meeting you on the first night, and all of the docents were terrific, far exceeding our expectations.
