e Have Offices on Both Sides of the Atlantic and Over 30 Years of Experience.With a Sales Office in the USA and a Tour Operations Department in Europe, Casterbridge Concert Tours is ideally placed to provide you with the necessary support and expertise in both the planning and operation of your Concert Tour. You have the assurance of knowing that you are working with an organisation that has intimate, personal knowledge of the sights and venues you are visiting.

Personal Visit and/or Slide Presentation
At Casterbridge we place a great deal of emphasis on meeting our potential customers face to face to discuss your precise hopes and needs for your tour. We aim to offer you a tour which exactly meets your requirements - not just one off the shelf which is somewhat near. Although there is some geographical limitation to these visits, our coordinators do cover most of the country during the course of a year and we visit the vast majority of our concert groups at some stage during the planning process. Combining a meeting with a slide presentation of your proposed tour is an excellent way of bringing your ideas to life for the group and of gaining momentum for your trip.

Guaranteed Tour Dates and Year Round Concert Tours We operate tours all the year round and will make your arrangements for the dates of your choosing. Not only that, but as we make your flight arrangements at an earlier stage in the planning process than most of our competitors, we can confirm in writing at time of booking that your tour departure is guaranteed and that your tour dates will not change.

An Outstanding Range and Variety of Concert Venues for Your Group
Whether you wish to perform in great cathedrals or to meet your peers throughout the world by performing at a local school or church, our Tour Operations Department will liaise closely with you so that you obtain venues that coincide with your group's specific performance criteria.

Customised Itineraries
Almost every tour which Casterbridge Concert Tours operates has at least an element of custom design incorporated in it. Whether we start by adapting a tour, which we have previously operated successfully or build a tour from scratch around your plans, we want to provide you with your tour exactly as you envision it.

You Will Have a 24-Hour Escort and Guide Service
In order to ensure that your group receives maximum cultural insight, a guide is available for the exclusive use of your group at all times to ensure that very insight, and that the tour is an unqualified success. Your guide will even stay with your group after dinner to suggest evening activities and to chaperone as required.

There Will Be No Hidden Extras on Your Tour
Casterbridge has no registration fees, no adult supplements and no optional excursions or hidden extras. Quite to the contrary, all admission costs to the major sights are included for your group.

An Understanding of Musical Requirements for all those Extra Arrangements
As we are concert tour specialists, the provision of music stands, risers and advertising posters are already included in our initial quotes. Hire of large instruments, use of church organs, additional publicity packages and almost any other additional requirement can be included in your proposal.

Meticulous Planning and Attention to Detail
Timing and planning are critical on a concert tour and at Casterbridge we are renowned for our meticulous attention to detail. Sufficient time must be allowed for rehearsals, changing into concert uniforms and for transfers of performers and instruments to concert and rehearsal venues. We liaise directly with Musical Directors to arrange the appropriate balance between sightseeing, free time, rehearsals and performances. We will liaise with your venue hosts to promote your concert locally and make all pre-performance preparations.

Take Advantage of the Expertise of our Flights Department
Casterbridge has both the buying power and expertise to provide the best flight itineraries at the best rates. We only use scheduled airlines and normally have a block of seats in place for your group well before you even book.

We Have The Flexibility to Suit Your Desired Budget
Whether your group wishes to stay in the finest hotels Europe has to offer, hotels full of character and charm in a medium price range or budget accommodation/hostels to help keep the price down, we will specify hotels to suit your preferences.

Casterbridge Has a Track Record of Financial Security and Excellence
Casterbridge has been operating under the same management for over 30 years. Please call us for references throughout North America who will testify to our credibility and standards of excellence
