Comments From Recent Church Tour Group Leaders

“The choral evensong at York Minster was moving and lovely; the local guide was very helpful and interesting. Some found the experience almost overwhelming, in a good way! The end point of our pilgrimage was Canterbury. It was amazing, all of it: St. Martin’s, St. Augustine’s Abbey, and Canterbury Cathedral. The choral evensong was stupendous! And the town and environs were lovely.”
E.W., Reverend, TX

“We had a great trip. Barry was great, and Sue took so much care in getting everything organized for us—we appreciated all the special touches that made the journey memorable. Thanks for all your help.”
M.C., Reverend, TX

“A super-sized “Thank YOU!!” to all the Casterbridge Church Tours team!! I truly appreciate all you did to make our pilgrimage a thing of beauty as well as a time of grace. All the scheduling and accommodations were superb. I heard no complains from any of the group. Everyone fell in love with Guilia as she was very personable and ready to do everything to make our tour enjoyable. All in all I was pleased with your personal interest and concern for our pilgrimage and all the work and planning by your team to make this successful and satisfying.”
E.G., Priest, MO

“The private Mass at Sacre Coeur in Paris arranged by Casterbridge was a true highlight of the trip”
R.A., Group Leader, NH

“Nothing spoke to me about St. Francis of Assisi with such impact as the privilege of sharing the Eucharist where the great saint himself had shared it in the Portiuncula. It was such a privilege to celebrate Mass in a chapel directly adjacent to the place where the bones of St. Peter rest under the main altar of St. Peter’s Basilica.”
D. B., Monsignor, NY

“I just wanted to tell you we had a fantastic pilgrimage!! The guides at all the cathedrals were marvelous. The services we attended at Christ College Cathedral, Coventry Cathedral, Coventry Cathedral and St. Paul’s Cathedral were fabulous. The weather couldn’t have been more cooperative. Thanks again for all your hard work in helping to make this pilgrimage a reality!!!”
R. R., Group Leader, OH

“I cannot think of another company who could have provided us with such an amazing faith experience. Casterbridge was able to blend places important to our Franciscan Community with significant religious sites important to the universal Church. Their attention to detail and their care for all members of our tour made us feel both important and special. I would be more than happy to discuss my Casterbridge Pilgrimage experience with anyone looking to choose a company of quality and integrity.”
Sr. A.J.G., FMSC, US Provincial Superior

“Thanks for arranging for the masses. Everyone thought mass at the Vatican was very special. After mass we enjoyed seeing St. Peter’s with no crowd.”
K. P., Priest, CO

“We’re back from our fantastic trip to England and Italy! Everything you say in your literature is absolutely true. We ran into a group from Johnstown, NY (about 15 miles from Galway) that was traveling with another Tour Operator. They were not at all happy with their arrangements or guide. I told him to contact your company for future trips. You can use my name as a reference for him or anyone else. Everything that we experienced on the trip met and usually exceeded what we were promised and expected. For example, while we were in Rome we not only saw the Vatican, but also were surprised with an audience with the Pope! That was an experience never to be forgotten regardless of one’s religion. As a result, all those on the trip, adults and students alike, were pleased beyond expectation with Casterbridge Tours. As always thanks for all your help, I look forward to planning another trip together!”

“I couldn’t even begin to tell you what an incredible time we had. Barcelona is such a beautiful and vibrant city. The tour guide was out of this world – she took care of us as if we were family. I can never thank you and the folks at Casterbridge enough. EVERYONE, yes, EVERYONE said that it was the best trip any of them had ever taken.”
P. L., Church Choir Director, NY

“It was the best trip yet. In Florence the pre-performance press paid off. There was no room in the Church to sit or stand. In Venice and in Rome the audience vigorously applauded. Even the Chaperones, all of whom have traveled extensively, talked about how it was one of the best experiences in a foreign country they have ever had.”
R. G., Church Choir Director, CT

“I just wanted to let you folks at Casterbridge know what a wonderful time we had on our trip, and how much we appreciated your effort. Our trip to the isles of Mull and Iona were terrific. Singing in an abbey was a very meaningful experience. The folks at St Michael’s Church were just marvelous. What set the tone of the evening was seeing the American flag flying over the church. All in all a wonderful experience. Thank you so much for assisting us with our arrangements; it has been a pleasure working with Casterbridge.”
Presbyterian Church Choir, MD
