We've had many Context tours over the last 15-20 years (all in Italy), and this may have been the best. Andrea is enormously knowledgeable, and her choice of focus, comments, and analysis are all superb. We had a capsule art history course from her (with a good deal of Spanish history thrown in) that was really quite dazzling. She could be teaching in a first-rate university art history department. We're grateful to have had her as our guide at the Prado.

I cannot compliment our guide Carlos enough, he was absolutely amazing and is a true asset to your company. You can tell that he loves his city and is very passionate about keeping people engaged whilst learning. Our children loved the tour and were actively engaged. He went above and beyond for us with recommendations for shops and restaurants and I can say without hesitation that we would recommend Carlos to anybody.

Carlos was a friendly, personable and superb guide. He gave us a clear, comprehensible outline of Spanish history, illuminated the architecture he showed us, and explained the connections between them. He has an encyclopedic knowledge of Madrid, provided information about restaurants, tapas bars, and museums, including specifics about which art was on which floor and when the museums were open or closed. In general, he was enormously helpful and pleasant to be with. It's hard to imagine a better introduction to the city, especially the historical core. Bravo, Carlos, and muchas gracias!
