How TripContext works

  1. 1

    Tell us about your trip

    You share the context: destinations, dates, who is traveling, the kind of trip you want and how much support you would like. It takes a couple of minutes and costs nothing.

  2. 2

    TripContext reviews the request

    We read the request properly. If something looks too rushed, better done independently, or difficult in the dates you have given, we say so rather than passing it straight on.

  3. 3

    We select the most relevant local expert

    We look at destination, language, travel style, group and the support you asked for, and choose the local expert best placed to help. If we cannot match a request well, we tell you.

  4. 4

    The expert contacts you with a personalized proposal

    The local expert follows up directly, asks whatever they still need to know and proposes a plan built around your trip rather than a fixed package.

  5. 5

    You decide whether you want to proceed

    Read the proposal, ask questions, change it or walk away. There is no obligation to book anything at any point.
