on't take our word for it. Listen to those of Music Directors who have recently led groups with Casterbridge Concert Tours and hear what they say about their experiences.

Fred Trumpy - School Jazz Band:
Tanja has been fantastic!! I don't believe there was a question among our group that she could not answer. She was very sensitive to the needs of the Jazz group. Very Professional, Outstanding! Our students have been profoundly enriched by this experience. Rental equipment was excellent. Great job handling last minute changes i.e. sick student, early departure. Tanja was excellent - I have taken 3 previous European tours & Tanja was by far the best guide I have ever worked with. The educational benefits of this tour were superb, it was well planned and executed. Everything we asked for was well carried out.

Harrell Lucky, Choral Director - Adult Choir:
The concerts were all well-attended. It seems that the publicity did make a difference. I would happily recommend Casterbridge to any who ask. I appreciate your work and the professional manner in which we were able to work around all the problems. Please let me know if I may supply additional information to you. Again, thank you and all those who made our stay so memorable and happy.

Mandy Carr, Choir Director - School Choir:
Everyone in the UK and USA offices was extremely helpful. Calls and faxes were returned promptly and problems or details were solved quickly. The friendliness of both offices made my job, as director, much less stressful.

Doug Henry, Band Director - School Band and Choir:
The tour was everything I expected and more - we thoroughly enjoyed this trip. Everything Casterbridge did to set things up in advance, and to alter to suit during the trip was great! We will use your service again. I am a very satisfied customer.

Marilyn A. Downes, Music Director - Adult Bell Ringers:
Even the weather (to date) has been perfect! I have heard the group members say over & over again - what a wonderful time they are having. You have blessed us with Anthony Russell. He has such a wonderful personality - is so well prepared - is fun to be with - and has provided us with so much understanding and knowledge of the various places that we visited. We have learned so much about this beautiful country. We are home, safe and sound, and VERY HAPPY! Thank you to all at Casterbridge who played a part in arranging our tour. Everything moved along smoothly. Without exception, everyone felt the tour exceeded our expectations. Thank you all so much!

Dorothyann Davis - Church Choir:
Our entire group sends many thanks for your planning and support of our choral tour during March. Just one week ago tonight we all gathered at the church for show and tell of many interesting snap shots & videos. It was quite obvious that a good time was had by all. Thanks again for all your help. Our group had an excellent experience and a great bonding with your personnel - Robert, Simon and Alan as well as with one another.

Victoria Koelsch, Choir Director - School Choir:
The singing element of our tour was a unitary element that brought our group together. It also connected us to the local people more.
