We are delighted to be working with Context Tours as our official affiliates here in Berlin.
Context is a network of scholars and specialists—in disciplines including archaeology, art history, cuisine, urban planning, history, environmental science, and classics — who, in addition to their normal work as professors and researchers, design and lead in-depth walking seminars for small groups of intellectually curious travelers.
Context are committed to the character of the city—its built environment, cultural heritage, and living fabric. Drawing on their network of scholars they organise didactic walking seminars designed to help the erudite traveler appreciate and defend the city without overrunning it. From their vantage point as architects, archaeologists, and historians, the company aim to bring together the traveller and the city in a manner beneficial to both.
Context’s seminar approach means that their walks are narrative participatory experiences, and with no more than five other people, you’ll get to participate in an intimate, hands-on, conversational experience. The company adheres to the precepts of sustainable travel and invest in programs that mitigate the effect of tourism (they are a certified B Corporation – a new kind of company which uses the power of business to solve social and environmental problems).
