A Beginner's Guide to Context Tours: Private & Small Group

Context Singapore Night Tour

Context Singapore Night Tour

When you book a Context walking tour, you might notice you are asked to select between two options, either private or small group. So which option is right for you?

Private Tours - For One-on-one Learning

Available in over 60 cities worldwide, our signature private tours pair you with an expert that is exclusive to your party. While our private tours follow a set itinerary, you'll have more freedom to adjust the tour to fit your needs. Want to spend some more time with a certain painting? Want to dive deep into a niche topic? With our private tours, you'll be able to ask your expert to adapt to your party's interests for a truly unique experience. Please leave our team a note at the time of booking, so that we can match you with the best expert for your interests. 

Private Tours:

  • Perfect for travelers looking for a true deep dive into a city or venue with a leading expert
  • Follow a set itinerary, but are adaptable to your needs and interests
  • Offered daily in over 60 cities worldwide

Small Group Tours - For Travelers Who Want to Learn with Others

Available in a selection of our most popular destinations—Rome and Paris—our small group tours are perfect for couples and solo adventurers looking to meet other intentional travelers. But don't think this is a standard follow-the-umbrella tour: at Context, we cap our small groups at ten guests to allow for deep conversation and dialogue with the expert and other like-minded learners.

Small Group Tours:

  • Perfect for customers looking to connect with other travelers
  • Led by the same world-class experts that lead our private experiences
  • Follow a set itinerary but still offer adaptability. No two Context walks are the same.
  • Offered on select days and times in our top venues. View our current availability here .
