Specialists in Group Tours to Brazil
If you’re looking for the largest collection of bio-diversity in the world, you’ve come to the right place. The Amazon Basin in Brazil is the most famous tropical rainforests in the world. Taking a boat ride down the Amazon river, and experiencing all the wild life surrounding you are just some of the things you are sure to experience in Brazil. Outside the Amazon, white sand beaches lined with palm trees, enchanting colonial towns, waterfalls, red rock canyons, the Pantanal, and crystal clear rivers await you, not to mention the breath-taking views of Foz Do Iguazu, which comprises 275 waterfalls plunging 80 meters, is a must.
The Best Flights to Brazil on Guaranteed Dates
We have exceptionally close relationships with many International air carriers. In addition, many US carriers that we work closely with offer excellent connections into all parts of Brazil. 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 less time-consuming and stressful. 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!
Thematic Travel in Brazil
In Brazil, we aim whenever possible to provide a thematic context to your tour. Our more popular themes there are (Eco-Touring), (Wild Life), (Amazon Tours), and (History). We try to carefully design a tour that fits the precise needs of your group. We work hard to create the most beneficial and interactive learning options, which are both engaging and easy to follow.
All Casterbridge tours are highly customizable to fit your educational themes and priorities, ensuring you get the very best out of your travel experience.
Our Casterbridge Tour Manager/Guides in Brazil
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 Brazil, your Tour Manager/Guide will live locally and be fluent in both Portuguese and English. 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 Brazil
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 specialist local 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 if them is trained to impart even the tiniest detail of their particular area of expertise. In Brazil, we generally plan for you to have a local guide with you at some point every other 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. It may be horseback riding along the beach, swimming in a crystal clear waters, Snorkeling, touring through the Pantanal or experiencing life in the Amazon, whatever your preference, we have many different options for fun, exciting experiences while in Brazil.

Our Accommodations and Meals in Brazil
Casterbridge Tours chooses 3-star and 4-star hotels as a standard, 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. Therefore, unless you request it, your Casterbridge tour will not include a lot of American chain restaurants. For dinner, you will sample regional cuisine, either in your hotel or in neighborhood restaurants.
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 Brazil
A standard Casterbridge Tour includes the cost of all admissions, excursions and cultural activities. There are never any optional excursions or activities. We feel that 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 in many cases 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 Brazil
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 “hidden treasures” around Brazil not always found on a standard itinerary.
Whether you would like to spend time snorkeling, learning the history of indigenous peoples, or admiring the shear beauty of Brazil, just let us know where you want to go and we will ensure you get there.
Your tour is truly your tour with Casterbridge!
