Casterbridge Tours & Group Travel

Casterbridge Tours – Over 30 Years of Excellence

Casterbridge Tours is an award-winning educational travel company specialising in customised group travel programmes for schools, churches, musical ensembles, sports teams, universities and colleges, as well as adult special interest groups and alumni associations.

For over 30 years Casterbridge has pioneered the development of educational group travel for both student and adult groups. Today, our extensive portfolio of travel programmes can transport you, year-round, to the cultural wonders of Europe, the exotic forests and ancient civilizations of Central and South America, the distant marvels of China and Asia, the national treasures of North America, and the wild expanses of Africa.

Over 30 Years of Group Travel Experience

Casterbridge was created in 1979 by former educators in Europe intent on building an educational travel company that could deliver a truly cultural and meaningful travel experience. “Travel to Learn – Learn to Travel” soon became our motto and the name Casterbridge has, in the course of three decades, become synonymous with the highest levels of personal service and touring excellence.

Offices in Britain and North America

Casterbridge’s operations team and head office are based in Europe, which gives us unparalleled experience and contacts in Europe, as well as an intimate knowledge of the region’s sights, accommodations, and educational opportunities, whether it’s for concert tours, church tours, sports tours, or educational travel.

Equally, the experienced UK tour coordinators will work in detail with you to design your own customised, private touring programme to any continent you choose. Our tour coordinators are all specialists in group travel and, as a result, our clients benefit greatly from a level of expertise and personal attention that is unequalled by any other educational travel company.

Continuing To Grow: Royal Recognition

After two decades of continued success for Casterbridge’s educational tours and adult and student group travel programmes, the company expanded into performance and musical programmes, as well as religious heritage programmes. In 1997, these became two separate divisions of our travel company: Casterbridge Concert Tours and Casterbridge Church Tours.

By 2002 Casterbridge Tours had expanded so expeditiously, while continuing to provide the very best in educational group travel, that we were awarded the highly prestigious Queen’s Award for Enterprise. Indeed, the award was presented in person at the Casterbridge Head Office in Dorset, by Their Royal Highnesses, Edward and Sophie, the Earl and Countess of Wessex, on 24th March 2003.

Casterbridge Today: Worldwide Educational Group Travel

As suggested by our name, Casterbridge began in 1979 by focusing on literary tours of Britain, but now offers an extensive, worldwide portfolio of customised group travel experiences, served by our 6 specialist Divisions:

Today, Casterbridge is widely recognised as a market-leading educational travel company to Asia, Africa, the Americas, Australasia and Europe. With more than 30 years of expertise and operational experience and hundreds of references who can testify to the quality of our programmes, no other educational travel company can offer such an unparalleled record of excellence and personal service.
