Discover a World of Difference on a Casterbridge Group Tour
The fundamental mission of Casterbridge Tours is to reliably deliver a truly rewarding travel experience for all our participants. This means that every group tour is a private tour. We never combine groups.
In fact, Casterbridge’s standard practice of conducting an exclusive private experience for every group tour has been our hallmark for over 30 years.
Casterbridge Advantages Mean “A World of Difference”
This gives every Casterbridge performance tour several unique advantages. They are as follows:
- Custom-designed performing tours are inherently safer, more educational and enjoyable, more flexible, and more personally satisfying for each participant. It is your tour, your itinerary, and your Tour Manager/Guide.
- We can custom-design your itinerary around your own musical themes and priorities to create a touring program that most ideally suits the artistic, cultural, and budgetary requirements of your performance tour.
- We can offer flight arrangements that match your group’s preferred travel dates and guarantee your travel dates at the time of booking. Your flights will always be on regularly scheduled flights with major carriers, such as British Airways, Delta, or Air France. We never use chartered flights.
- Casterbridge can hold your airline seats for up to 11 months before your departure, while you recruit participants to your group.
- There are no “fine print” costs with Casterbridge. Our philosophy of honesty and integrity in pricing ensures that we charge no “add-on” fees for tour registration, “membership fees,” weekend or adult supplements, airport taxes and fuel surcharges, or optional excursions and admissions.
- Every Casterbridge performing tour undeniably benefits from its own exclusive Tour Manager/Guide, who will accompany you from airport arrival to departure, will stay at your hotels overnight, and will eat dinner with you. Your tour manager will meet you at the airport, along with your own exclusive tour bus and driver. He or she is trained to handle all the logistics of your performing tour, is always available to advise your group tour on local evening activities, and can provide you with the additional peace of mind for which we are so well known.
- We often use the expertise and perspective of local specialist guides for in-depth or thematic tours to major attractions. These local guides complement your full-time Tour Manager/Guide, in order to make your tour experience even more meaningful and interesting.
- We can customize your hotels to fit your specific tour itinerary. We always use quality 3-star (on occasion 4-star or superior 2-star) tourist-class hotels that are clean, safe, and convenient, and that normally reflect the charm and character of the area you are visiting. We primarily use twin rooms. We strive for centrally located hotels in capital and major cities to make sightseeing easy.
- We feel that cuisine native to the country or region you are visiting is an integral part of any touring experience. As such, we provide quality meals that feature authentic cuisine. Breakfast is included at the hotel, as are dinners in the provinces. In capitals and some large cities, we include dinner in local restaurants that provide menu options in the regional cuisine.
A Casterbridge performance tour program is carefully planned to offer variety, as well as a balance of these three elements:
- Educational and cultural visits to important sites
- Quality performances with enthusiastic audiences
- Free time for exploration and interaction
Unmatched Personal Service and Promotional Assistance
Casterbridge takes great pride in our efforts to give the very best personal service and attention to all our group leaders. This includes the crucial period of planning, promoting, and recruiting for your tour.
In order to make this process as easy as possible for group leaders, we will provide you with the following:
- Promotional Packs – Our promotional packs make an ideal handout once tour promotion and recruitment have begun. They include a Detailed Copy of Your Group’s Specific Itinerary, an Information and Enrollment Guide, and a Travel Insurance Brochure. (Let us know how many Promotional Packs you need.)
- Promotional Posters – We have a large selection of posters that are ideal to place around your institution to promote your performance tour program.
- A Tour Group Meeting – We would be delighted to schedule a personal meeting to discuss your performing tour program in detail.
- A Formal Evening Presentation – If you believe your potential group members and their families would benefit from a PowerPoint slide presentation about Casterbridge and the specific sites in your selected itinerary, we will be delighted to check our presentation schedule for you. Often, a presentation by Casterbridge can make all the difference as to whether a tour proceeds as planned.
- A Promotional Web Page – We can provide a web page exclusively for your group, which will include a copy of your group’s itinerary, contact information for those wishing to join the group, and links to our website. Once your web page has been designed, we will provide a web link that can be given to any interested participants.
