Prague - Day Five - Prague In Context

I love to travel. I enjoy discovering and learning about new places, people and cultures. For me - each trip is much more than the time spent touring the location. I can spend months of self-study researching the location's sights, museums, art and food before making final plans.

Many years ago I stumbled across Context Travel (http://www.contexttravel.com). Paul's company is simply one of the best in the World. They hire local experts in every profession to serve as docents for travelers. Whether a group tour, limited to 6 people, or a private tour of your group - the experience is consistently positive. I can hardly keep up with Paul's company and their every expanding coverage of new spots on the globe.

Despite months of self-study - nothing can add to the value of a trip aboard than a knowledgeable guide. Today we are joined by our Context docent, Vadim Erent for a 3 hour walking tour (they like to call them seminars) of art nouveau and modernism architecture in Prague at the turn of the century. Vadim stepped in when his wife Bonita got sick. I am sure Bonita would have done a fine job - but Vadim was outstanding. We all enjoyed his architectural seminar of Prague.
