The Customized Group Tour Specialists

Casterbridge’s fundamental mission is to deliver a truly rewarding travel experience for every customized group tour. Because of this, we do not combine groups. In fact, our standard practice of conducting a private tour exclusively for each customized group tour has been a hallmark of our tours for 30 years now.

Casterbridge is one of very few group tour operators exclusively offering private tours with genuine personal service, as well as a customized tour designed specifically for each leader, with as few as 10 participants. So it is no surprise there is more and more demand for the unique educational travel services we offer.

Our North American Sales Offices employ staff members with extensive knowledge of every option available for adult and school group tours. After you call our toll free phone number or register online, we will provide a customized group tour quote, complete with a description of all of the educational travel services included, within 72 hours of your inquiry.

We encourage your group tour leader to include elements from the classroom as part of the itinerary and are always pleased to fine-tune your customized group tour until it meets your exact educational and, whenever possible, budgetary requirements.

Educational group tours enjoy thematic custom-designed programs or have thematic or chronological sightseeing days created and included as part of the itinerary planning process.

We are the only group tour operator that offers private tours with genuine personal service, as well as a customized group tour designed specifically for each leader. So it is no surprise there is a constantly increasing demand for the unique educational travel services we offer.

As most of our competitors are high-volume operators, it becomes difficult for them to offer any personalized service to groups once a group is on tour. Furthermore, their groups and participants are often combined and tour dates may be changed at the last minute without the group leader’s consent to take advantage of the discounted airfares that are often made available to tour operators. With Casterbridge you can rest assured that the same personal service you experienced in planning your customized group tour will continue while your group travels.

Design Your Dream Tour

We appreciate that the customized planning of a group tour requires considerable time and fine-tuning, and our dedicated team of tour operators is always available to provide the service and support your tour preparations require.

We relish the challenge of specific requests and always do our utmost to accommodate individual requirements.

After you call our toll free phone number or register online, we will provide a customized group tour quote, complete with a description of the educational travel services included, within 72 hours of your inquiry.

Our Educational Tour Coordinators make regular visits to meet with adult and school group tour leaders around the country, and will also give slide presentations to group members, explaining the benefits of a customized group tour and the precise educational travel services we provide.

Our Dedicated Team of Tour Coordinators

Our North American Sales Offices in Virginia and Toronto employ staff members with extensive knowledge of all the options available for adult and school group tours.

The majority of our coordinators are former teachers or adult and school group tour guides who have an intimate familiarity with your preferred destination or particular area of academic expertise. They will work with you to design your ideal customized group tour, and will endeavor to get as many of your desired educational travel services included in your package as possible.

Unlike with many other adult and school group tour operators, our coordinators work year-round in our office, enabling you to maintain one single contact throughout the entire planning process for your customized group tour.

We are always pleased to fine-tune your customized group tour until it meets your educational and budgetary requirements.

Flexibility

When designing your customized group tour we can offer total flexibility in your choice of tour components. You can nominate your preferred airline, select hotel classifications, or even specify certain hotels. We are also happy to include specific restaurants and theaters

To help support your educational goals, we can also include extended time at certain sites for study or increase the amount of free time on your customized group tour. We have a wide selection of Cross-Cultural Connections that allow you to be flexible with content and activities, ensuring that your tour matches your group’s interests.

Once you are on tour, your Tour Manager/Guide can assist you further with any flexibility you require.

Finally, we can be somewhat flexible on the budget of your customized group tour, working closely with you to ensure that whatever program you create will be marketable to your group.

With our dedicated and knowledgeable staff to support you, we assure you that your tour with Casterbridge will excellently compliment your educational and budgetary goals.
