ining out and sampling local specialties should be one of the cultural highlights of any tour abroad, and we always
try to give our groups a taste of the local cuisine.
WHAT'S FOR DINNER?... Dinners will either be in the hotel or in local restaurants. Often on tour there will be a mix of both for convenience and also to give a chance to sample meals at local restaurants. The restaurants we select will serve authentic and traditional meals representing each country/region's typical menu. Sometimes there will be a set menu, while other times you can select from a range of dishes.
BUT WHAT ABOUT LUNCH?... After
morning sightseeing, we generally combine lunch with some free time
- generally an hour or two, in a specific area for students to shop
or spend time in smaller groups before meeting up again for afternoon
activities. As each student has different desires for lunch and soft
drinks, we usually find it easier for students to buy lunch individually.
When lunches are at the expense of individual group members and are
not pre-booked, this also provides an element of flexibility to each
day. Your guide will recommend local cafes, restaurants or bakeries.
We suggest budgeting £10-£15 per day for lunches, snacks
and drinks. If necessary, of course, we can arrange for a group to lunch
together and include it in your costing if this is the Group Leader's
preference.

"I would like to thank Casterbridge for finding us some lovely restaurants for authentic cuisine, as I had requested. The students loved the various locations and types of meals."
