A friend recommended Context tours. We initially hesitated because of the price, but he told us the tours "are worth every
penny." He definitely was right. Mr. Brown was a profoundly knowledgeable host. He
conveyed information in a conversational format. At the end of the tour, we not only had a
fairly in-depth understanding of the history of the CWR but also grasped the social and cultural implications of the war. This was so much more educational and interesting than any other tour we experienced in London.

We had a lovely and informative food tour with Alice. Even in the windy - rainy day, we were able to visit interesting food and specialty shops. Alice was energetic and knowledgeable, and able to blend history of London with the emergence of the food evolution. We thoroughly enjoyed our experience with Alice. Thank you.
