Private Coach Transportation For Our Performing Groups
Transportation is one of the most important aspects of your travel experience. When properly arranged and coordinated, it can result in your concert tour program being a seamless experience and an unqualified success.
From Arrival to Departure
In addition to your exclusive 24/7 Tour Manager/Guide, your private coach and driver will meet you at the airport. Your group will have a private coach exclusively for your use during the entire tour. This will allow you to take full advantage of both your arrival and departure days.
You will never be combined with other groups on a coach and have to wait at your arrival airport – sometimes for hours – for those other groups to fly in. You will be on your way within a few minutes of passing through customs.
Flexibility
Casterbridge’s private transportation service allows you certain latitude to make special or unscheduled stops or visits, as long as your ensemble’s planned itinerary and concert program is not compromised and the laws affecting your driver’s hours are not violated.
These unplanned stops can greatly enhance any touring experience.
Comfortable Coaches and Professional Drivers
Even for a group of 10 travelers in Europe and North America, you will normally have your own professional driver and comfortable 26-, 47-, 49-, or 53-seat tour coach for your own exclusive use. We will hire two (or more) coaches for groups that have 48 or more participants.
Most of our vehicles are fitted with high-backed reclining seats and seat belts and feature air conditioning, an on board toilet, video screens, and a refrigerator. They are spacious, with well-upholstered seats and wide windows to give you the best possible view of the passing landscape.
Minibuses
On our worldwide tours, we occasionally use minibuses because they can provide our tours with greater flexibility and convenience.
Indeed, our smaller groups in Africa, Asia, Australasia, and Latin America find that minibuses provide an ideal opportunity to get off the beaten track and explore back roads and towns not on the usual tourist trail.
Capital City Travel Passes
With larger performing tour groups, having a private coach throughout your tour is usually the most efficient way to travel between sites in major cities. Your coach will be available for transport of musicians, instruments, and equipment to and from any concert venue in capital cities.
If it is more logistically feasible to use public transportation in some instances, we will include that in your tour price. Taking advantage of a city’s subway or bus system is another way to experience the local culture. Of course, your Tour Manager/Guide will escort your group on all sightseeing activities if you are using public transport.
Let the Train Take the Strain
The European rail network has no rival for speed and comfort. Traveling by train is fun, so ‘Let the train take the strain!’
Fast, modern trains mean your journey passes more rapidly than by road. The Eurostar service, for example, will whisk you between London and Paris in just three hours.
On certain concert tour programs, we may use overnight trains for an authentic European travel experience. You will enjoy comfortable couchette berths in cabins that house two-to-four travelers, depending on your route.
If an itinerary requires, we may also use internal flights or ferries. We will always include these costs in your quotation and describe them in your detailed itinerary.
