United Kingdom & Ireland Private and Small Group Walking Tours
Famed for their music, theater, literature and sport, these small island nations have had an outsize influence on the world
Situated off the coast of western Europe, the United Kingdom’s four countries—England, Scotland, Wales, Northern Ireland—and the Republic of Ireland have long stood apart from the European mainland, defined by the mingling of their native Celts and Anglo-Saxons with visitors like the Norse, Romans, and Normans.
These unique dynamics are reflected in the UK and Ireland, which all bear distinct customs and traditions but also share a long history of cultural innovation—ranging from illuminated manuscripts to Shakespeare to soccer—not to mention a lively and welcoming pub culture.

Apart from Alan's insights being thoughtful, deep and engaging on the subject matter, he relates the experience back to you - what you observed previously about something or an interest that you expressed. In short, it is the epitome of a personalized experience.
As it turns out, Alan took my daughter and me on a personal tour of the British Museum back in '18 which made the Tate tour that much more enjoyable.
Put simply, if you want to invest in a curated experience that will last well beyond your time at your actual destination, I cannot recommend Context in general - and Alan specifically - more highly.

Alan was amazing. So knowledgeable and informative without being dry or boring. The way he interacted with the kids was great. This really helped us streamline what could have been overwhelming trying to decide what to see and where to go. 10/10
