Kana did a wonderful job explaining the history of the bombing at Hiroshima. She was very personable and knowledgeable, and highly professional. We greatly enjoyed our tour with her.
It was great. We loved the tour and our guide Kana who was very pleasant and knowledgeable
Context travel is the best! I got a reminder text for my trip to Nara and realized I misunderstood the meeting place (we were supposed to leave together from Kyoto and I’d already gotten to Nara myself). No problem! I was able to contact my guide easily and we made new arrangements. The individual tours ensure the experience is always customized to meet your needs, whether logistical or relating to your research and sightseeing interests. Building my itinerary around the Context tours helps me make the most of my visit. I’ll always rely on Context when visiting someplace new.
