Educational Student Travel Features Local Specialist Guides

Your Casterbridge group tour will be met on arrival by your own exclusive Tour Manager/Guide, as well as your own exclusive coach and driver. Your tour guide is solely for your use throughout your tour, 24 hours a day, seven days a week.

Your Tour Manager/Guide will have a great deal of local knowledge. They will speak the local language, know many of the less familiar sites and points of interests of the country, and be fully aware of local customs. Most of them will live in the country you are visiting.

Local Specialists

However, for some of the major attractions on your tour, we feel your experience can be amplified by the use of specialist local guides who know about that particular site in greater depth.

These local guides complement our full-time Tour Manager/Guide and we have the flexibility in our planning to allocate these guides to sights or attractions that you might wish to feature or emphasize, to ensure that your educational goals are not only met, but exceeded.

Available in Most Countries – And Sometimes Required by Law!

In the UK, the feedback from our groups has consistently been that the level of information imparted by our native Casterbridge Tour Manager/Guide, combined with the frequent provision of on-site guides at many major attractions, makes the hiring of additional local specialists guides an unnecessary provision. The exception is Westminster Abbey where the vast majority of groups greatly benefit from a Super Tour.

If you have a specialized theme and feel that your group would, however, benefit from the provision of specialist local guides in the UK, please liaise with your tour coordinator. We would normally be able to allocate a specialist guide at each location where you believe it would be beneficial for your program.

Indeed, we could compliment your own desires with options that we’ve operated for similar groups in the past.

Educational Benefits

These specialist guides can transform the tour of a major site from something wonderful enough in itself, to something truly memorable and awe-inspiring. Every nuance you might have otherwise missed will be emphasized by the guide, often illustrated with colorful stories and anecdotes that only they can relate.

If we know in advance the thematic emphasis or educational focus of your tour, we can ensure that all our local specialist guides are aware of that theme and adjust their commentary and tour accordingly. As a result, their local knowledge will often prove invaluable when it comes to fulfilling the educational requirements of your tour.
