I’m spending time on the previous tours because they set high expectations and a very high bar for Context Tours. The tour in Stockholm was informative; we learned some stuff; but by comparison it lacked the kind of focus and context of our Italian experiences. It had a lot of history but also a bit of current politics and just a bit of current life in Gamla stan. And there was little opportunity to connect with the residents. As to our guides, once again our Italian experience set a very high bar. Our guide for the Intro to Florence was an architect and our guide in Venice has a university degree in Food Science and is a certified Italian sommelier. They clearly have deep knowledge of the focus. Again, it wasn’t that the he was a poor guide, but he didn’t rise to the same levels of knowledge and enthusiasm that we experienced in Italy.

Tina was delightful and gave a wonderful tour. She included great mix of history, culture and key city sites as we walked, and is very knowledgeable and versatile. I highly recommend taking a tour with her.

Very very bright and talented. She was great!!!
