The Best Flights to Western Canada on Guaranteed Dates

We have exceptionally close relationships with many national and international air carriers, and there are multiple options to choose from when flying to Western Canada.

All of these choices allow us to find your group the very best flights and fares, with minimal connections in order to make your trip as stress free as possible. We strive to make your transfers as efficient as possible, without the unnecessary stress and increased cost of tiring, time-consuming journeys.

Casterbridge always guarantee your tour dates and you will know your proposed flight schedule and routing as much as 11 months in advance of your tour!

Our Casterbridge Tour Manager/Guides in Western Canada

As we all know, there can be a few bumps in even the smoothest of roads. While we strive to ensure none pop up on your tour, you can relax knowing that your exclusive Casterbridge Tour Manager/Guide is there if they do.

In Western Canada, your Tour Manager/Guide will live locally and he or she will be with you 24 hours a day, from airport arrival to departure, in order to confirm reservations, help you get from place to place, and suggest free-time and evening activities that meet your group’s needs and budget.

Casterbridge Tour Manager/Guides are continuously evaluated and only those with the highest recommendations from our groups are permitted to stay with us. We hand-pick each Casterbridge Guide to make certain they meet our exacting standards.

The Expertise and Perspective of Local Guides in Western Canada

Never underestimate the value of expertise, especially when it is shared willingly with eager learners of any age. For this reason, Casterbridge strives to provide you with local specialist guides at the most important sites on your itinerary. These local specialists are in addition to the 24-hour presence of your exclusive Tour Manager/Guide.

Each is trained to impart even the tiniest detail of their particular area of expertise. In Western Canada, we generally plan for you to have a local guide with you at some point every day, excluding arrival and departure days.

You can designate those sites where you would like to have a specialist guide and tell us whether you would prefer them to present an academic or a cultural emphasis that focuses on the specific theme of your tour.

A Balance of Educational Visits, Cultural Experiences, and Recreational Activities

Balance is essential, not only in life, but also on a great tour. Casterbridge makes every effort to achieve that balance by offering a variety of recreational and cultural activities to complement the educational opportunities along your tour. Whatever your preference, we have many different options for fun, exciting experiences while in Western Canada.

Our Accommodations and Meals in Western Canada

As a standard, Casterbridge Tours chooses 4-star and superior 3-star hotels, but you are always free to request alternate accommodation for your group. Each hotel is evaluated following each stay and we continue to use only those who are consistently rated highly by our groups.

When possible, we prefer to use smaller, family owned hotels as opposed to giant concrete monoliths. Please feel free to ask for a list of sample hotels in the area your group will be traveling.

As part of our educational travel philosophy, we always strive to give our groups extensive exposure to the local people and culture. Part of that experience is, of course, sampling the local cuisine.

In Western Canada, you will sample regional cuisine, in local restaurants at lunch and at dinner. Generally at breakfast, we seek out options that offer a choice of local or more familiar American options.

This means that as much as possible, we will have meals in local restaurants away from the hotels for an authentic dining experience.

All Admissions Are Included in Western Canada

A standard Casterbridge Tour includes the cost of all admissions, excursions, and cultural activities as per your specific itinerary. There are never any optional excursions or activities.

We feel if you have come the distance to be here, you should have the opportunity to enjoy as much as you can without having to reach into your pocket again. In addition, Casterbridge is one of very few operators who will pre-book your group into as many major attractions as we can.

Pre-booking ensures that we always receive group admission rates, we can pay them in advance, and your group can bypass the lines. This unparalleled level of service and value has come to be expected by group leaders choosing Casterbridge as their tour operator.

Undiscovered Jewels and Hidden Treasures in Western Canada

Because Casterbridge Tours is a custom tour operator, we can offer you tremendous flexibility in your itinerary. We can mold your schedule to your specific, detailed needs.

So we would be delighted to take you to any of the many places in Western Canada that are not necessarily commonly found on a standard itinerary. Just let us know where you want to go and we will ensure you get there!
