Please find below an outline of some of the programs that Casterbridge can offer.

Concert Catalog

Concert Tours and Performing Arts Tours

Casterbridge has an unrivalled range of contacts and venues for choirs, bands or dance groups. For example, in the last year, we have arranged for our custom group tours to perform in such prestigious venues as St. Paul's Cathedral and Westminster Abbey in London, Notre Dame in Paris, St. Mark's Basilica in Venice and St. Peter's in Rome! We always balance a degree of sightseeing with the performance requirements of the group.

Literary Tours With a name like Casterbridge, you can imagine that Literary Programs are one of our ultimate specialities. We have an extensive background in offering custom group tours & small groups travel for schools and colleges, as well as local libraries and bookstores. For example, after visiting the Jane Austen and Thomas Hardy sights in the southwest, your small group of students or adults on a custom group tour might be exposed to passages from relevant works as they walk the Yorkshire Moors of the Brontës or discover the Lake District, immortalized by the Romantic poets.

Historical Programs

Casterbridge has extensive background in researching and operating custom group tours and small group travel for student and adult groups of all ages around specific historical themes. Our custom programs for veterans’ divisions and battalions or small student or adult groups are frequently designed to incorporate the Normandy Beaches or the battlefields of World War I and II in unique thematic and chronological touring programs.

Art and Art History Programs

Casterbridge has introduced a fascinating new program "In the Footsteps of the Impressionists," which begins at Monet's home and garden at Giverny and concludes in Van Gogh's Provence as we get off the beaten-track to rediscover the landscapes that inspired these great Masters. Our custom designed group tours can offer small group travel experiences for adult and student tour groups that combine the above with the art and architecture of Venice, Florence and Rome for a comprehensive examination of art history from the Renaissance to the 20th century.

Language Programs

Our custom group tours and student group travel experiences can expose students first-hand to a language in its most authentic setting by combining a touring itinerary with one of our Homestay or Language Programs in France, Spain, Germany, Italy, Asia or Latin America.

Theatre and Drama Tours

We have an outstanding range of unique inclusions to go with tickets for the best shows. Our adult or student group travel programs can enable small groups on a custom tour to enjoy a workshop on the stage of the Globe Theatre, see make up demonstrations, take in depth backstage tours or even have a meeting with a Royal Shakespearean Actor or Director.

Sporting Programs

Casterbridge has arranged matches for Soccer Tours in France, Lacrosse and Tennis Tours in England and Basketball Tours in Spain.

Religion Tours/Church Groups

Whilst Casterbridge can arrange Religious Heritage Programs for all the major denominations throughout Britain and Europe, we also have contacts to facilitate special visits to other great pilgrimage sites of the world. A visit to the Holy Land itself would truly be a once-in-a-lifetime and unforgettable experience as your church or student group travels on their own custom designed group tour. For example, take a unique itinerary with Casterbridge in Turkey to rediscover "The Journeys of St. Paul" and conclude your program in Corinth and Athens.

Special Interest Programs

There are literally endless possibilities for special subject tours, whether your interest is historic homes and gardens, antiques, or fashion design. Check this section of our website for many other ideas for itineraries with a specific academic or cultural emphasis.

We have worked with all types of local clubs and associations and have experience in arranging professional visits for Rotary or Soroptimist associations or small group of friends wishing to travel and tour together, as well as coordinating travel and conference arrangements for Kiwanis and Lions Clubs.
