asterbridge Tours was founded by Michael Bromfield, a former geography teacher, and has been operating educational and cultural student tours since 1979. For thousands of schools and teachers across the English-speaking world, the name Casterbridge is synonymous with the highest levels of quality, personal service and peace of mind. We are now delighted to present our programmes and services to UK Schools and Teachers.

Our philosophy is reflected in our motto, 'Learn to Travel, Travel to Learn'. This is indicative of our mission and reflects our commitment to providing unique and meaningful learning experiences through travel. We passionately believe in the educational and cultural benefits of our programmes and the unique concept we have pioneered in the schools travel industry.

We specialise in custom-designed academic, thematic and special interest tours throughout multiple worldwide destinations.

The fact that Casterbridge has grown to date primarily through word of mouth recommendations is a testimony to the quality of our services, the academic nature of our programmes and the unparalleled level of personal attention that we offer. We are always aware that each school has its own unique aspirations and requirements. Our reputation for excellence is based on our ability to provide unique customised tours that are carefully planned to meet the specific requirements of individual teachers.

The knowledge and expertise we have accumulated over 20 years, both in worldwide destinations and diverse cultural and academic themes, is invaluable when planning any itinerary.

We can customise every tour to suit every budget. Savings can be offered to student groups by utilising more budget accommodation and sometimes using public transport, which often actually enhances young people's enjoyment of a tour. If a teacher is familiar with the country, a tour manager or guide may also not be required. Furthermore, airlines occasionally offer special low student fares so competitive prices can always be offered.
