Casterbridge Is the Leader in Educational Tours

Casterbridge Tours has been operating educational travel services for adult and student tour groups since 1979. Casterbridge differentiates itself from other educational tour operators by having a unique educational travel structure, as well as clearly defined touring and travel philosophies.

‘Learn To Travel – Travel To Learn’

Our motto reflects the fact that we passionately believe in the cultural benefits of our educational travel services. We guarantee a quality educational travel experience on your own custom-designed itinerary, with the use of a private bus and Tour Manager/Guide, with as few as 10 paying participants.
In addition to having a customized group tour, you will never be combined with other educational travel groups that may not share your particular educational travel goals or disciplinary standards.
This structure of providing a private educational travel experience exclusively for student tour groups offers clear advantages for everyone:
You can custom design your itinerary to suit the precise cultural and educational travel requirements of your group based on the dates, themes, and destinations of your choosing, as well as the specific goals you have for your tour.
Since you will not be combined with other groups, we can provide a personalized educational travel program on the best scheduled flight routing, confirmed at time of booking, and on guaranteed dates, unlike the majority of other educational tour operators.
A Casterbridge Tour Manager/Guide will be with your group at all times, from airport arrival to departure, and will help chaperone your group on evening activities to consistently maximize the educational travel experience for your student tour group.
Excursion and admission costs, airport taxes, and weekend flight supplements are included in the cost of your travel program. There will be no hidden costs for registration fees, optional excursions, or adult supplements for you to encounter at a later date, as is often the case with other educational group tour operators.

Our Educational Travel Philosophy – Honesty, Integrity, and Variety

Casterbridge will always guarantee a private custom-designed educational travel program for your educational tour group to complement your classroom teaching.
This is just one reason why Casterbridge is a truly educational tour operator. We invite you to view our Casterbridge Charter and Educational Travel Philosophy, which describes the foundations of our educational travel programs and outlines how we integrate travel with real learning on every student tour.
Our educational travel components include thematic and chronologically arranged content, as well as a carefully planned balance of educational experiences and cultural activities. These are combined with numerous recreational opportunities, such as coastal walks, river cruises, or the ascent of a tower.
Our specialized educational tours provide participants with a well-rounded cultural and educational travel experience. It is not our philosophy to entice student groups to travel with Casterbridge and later hit you with extra charges for excursions and admissions. These ‘add-on’ charges penalize individuals and often dilute an educational travel experience.
Comments from teachers and students alike testify to the benefits derived from our unique educational travel philosophy and structure. Our emphasis for all student tours is on honesty, integrity, safety, and education.
We at Casterbridge aim to provide total peace of mind for our educational tour group leaders. The personal service and attention to detail we provide in the operation of each educational travel program is why we are widely recognized as the leader in educational group travel for middle schools, high schools, colleges, and universities.
