The Leader in Thematic Tours for Groups
Casterbridge is the leader in thematic tours for groups. We can custom-design a touring program around any theme or themes. Over our thirty years we have designed thematic tours for groups across the globe. They range from your basic academic categories to in-depth themes, such as “Clay Pipe Organs of Britain.”
Our most requested thematic programs include Art and Architecture, Literary Landscapes, Historical Journeys, Gourmet Touring, Nature and Wildlife, Wellness and Adventure, Cruises and Rail Journeys, as well as programs that center on Seasonal Events or Special Activities. We have a large selection of sample itineraries that are a great starting point when looking to design thematic tours for groups.
Custom-Designed Thematic Tours for Groups
Because our travel philosophy is to provide an independent tour and a custom-designed itinerary for each group, we can provide thematic touring programs or thematic touring days for all our groups. We believe that thematic touring is one of the best forms of educational travel and is an ideal way to bring former classroom learning to life.
Casterbridge has a team of experienced specialist Tour Coordinators that are always ready to assist you in planning a thematic group tour. We have an abundance of resources and all our Tour Coordinators have travel experience. Our goal is to always provide thematic tours for groups that meet your special and exact requirements.
As group leader, you can custom design your travel program around the specific themes, destinations, and travel dates that you prefer. This is a service Casterbridge provides all our clients, as we are truly dedicated to providing quality life-long learning travel programs.
Include Thematic Days on Tour
In addition to designing thematic tours for groups, we can custom design a program to include thematic days. These days focus around a particular topic and are often run in chronological order, as we believe this makes the visits more meaningful to the participants.
Imagine a day in Rome with a focus on the Baroque period. We would design a program around some of the great works of Bernini and Caravaggio. This may include major attractions, as well as smaller churches that house one or two of these great artists’ most important works.
Your day may include visits to Santa Maria della Vitoria, the Museo Borghese, Santa Maria del Popolo, San Luigi dei Francesi, and a stroll through Piazza Navona. This thematic day will bring to life the great works of the Baroque period that you may have learned in the classroom.
