Context Travel (Philadelphia) - Philadelphia, Pennsylvania

Steve H.

My wife and I had an absolutely delightful tour yesterday with Joella as we were given a perfect overview of the key historic sites around the Old City and City Center of Philadelphia! It was our first day of our week-long visit to this wonderful city, filled with history related to the founding of our republic. Joella immediately asked what our desires were for our tour so she could customize her plans accordingly. She was excited about sharing valuable insight about the places we visited and her tour was the perfect mix of walking, standing, and resting along the way during our three-hour tour. We were completely satisfied with her choices and would certainly recommend her walking tour to other visitors to Philadelphia who also want a tour that stands out among many available here in the City of Brotherly Love. One of the things that capped our excellent tour was the three of us sharing our reflections on some of the key sites Joella led us through, including how the historical events and "sides" of the political and moral issues of that time period are still reflected in many of today's world events. Thank you, Joella - and thank you Context!

I have just booked Context Travel Tours 4 & 5 because I know they will be TERRIFIC! After 2 tours in Spain and 1 in Germany, we didn’t even look at another tour then Context. The guides are great, but the staff who set them up, specifically Kayla Owen & Brittany are “Out of This World” ! Thanks Kayla.

A friend who recently did a Context tour in Italy recommended the company to me before my trip to NYC, and am I ever glad she did, because they were the highlights of Manhattan! My husband and I did the History of Finance tour and the Architecture of New York tour, and they were great. Not only did we get the benefit of having locals show us their city while talking about subjects they were clearly experts in and passionate about, but they were so friendly and fun that at the end of the tours, we felt like we were saying goodbye to friends. I will never travel again without checking the Context tour schedule again! Thanks to Context, but mostly thanks to Bill and Emma - you guys were amazing!

We spent 3 hours on a Colonial Philadelphia tour with John, and it was so enlightening. Even though I grew up in the area, the information John shared with us was so fascinating, and he brought our local and national history alive. This tour will be our favorite memory of our visit to Philadelphia.

Our first domestic Context walking tour, and it was just what we wanted. Our guide was both entertaining and knowledgeable, providing us with the social, political, economic, and architectural environment of the city on the eve of the American Revolution.
