Context , the tour for intellectually curious travelers, is taking on Canada. 

Look for tours that detail food history, art and architecture, photography, and gastronomic delights. 

The network of scholars and professors who organize in-depth walking tours of European and American cities, most notably Rome,Paris, London and New York - is now being represented by Exclusive Tour (http://www.exclusivetours.ca), experts in small ship cruising.

"Exclusive has great resources in Canada,” says Context co-founder Paul Bennett. “They’ve built a solid reputation in the travel business." 

What does this mean for the walking public?

Context’s inventory of scholar-led half-day “walking seminars” will be rolled into Exclusive's portfolio of tours and other travel services supplied to the Canadian travel market. The travel group will also represent Context’s newly launched multi-day tour packages.

Founded by National Geographic writer Paul Bennett and designer Lani Bevacqua, Context is a network of scholars and experts in such fields as art history, archaeology, gastronomy, and architecture who organize and lead thematic walking seminars in eight cities: Rome, Paris, New York, London, Naples, Florence,Venice, and Istanbul.
