I give you a rating of A* – fantastic. I can’t speak too highly of the services you provided us with. We felt very safe and the itinerary was very interesting. A young guide Neeraj “made” the trip. He went above and beyond what we might have expected. I wouldn’t travel with anyone else after this wonderful experience.

This was an excellent tour with many fantastic guides who made it a wonderful experience for both pupils and staff. We have had a wonderful time, done many, many different activities, seen so many fantastic sights and had so many great experiences that have all contributed to a once in a lifetime experience that none of us will ever forget.

I’d like to thank everyone at Casterbridge for another amazing tour. It was a packed itinerary with something spectacular to see every day and the students have simply had a ball. They’ve come back with a much better grasp of American History and a greater experience of American culture and this will prove very useful as we continue to study the US in class. Moreover, all the arrangements went extremely smoothly and even as staff we were able to sit back and enjoy it.

Fantastic. An excellent tour. I have been on many school trips and have never had such an excellent dedicated guide, an absolute gem.

We were very satisfied with the sightseeing element and the educational benefits of the tour. John was an excellent Tour Manager, friendly and pleasant, great to have an Italian speaker. I have recommended you to colleagues and we will be travelling with you again.

M.C. Group Leader, Educational Tour to Iceland

I’d like to thank everyone at Casterbridge for another amazing tour. It was a packed itinerary with something spectacular to see every day and the students have simply had a ball. They’ve come back with a much better grasp of American History and a greater appreciation of American culture and this will prove very useful as we continue to study the US in class. Moreover, all the arrangements went extremely smoothly and even as staff we were able to sit back and enjoy it. All weekend I’ve had parents on the email saying how the students have had such an amazing time and how they’ve come back bubbling with enthusiasm. Roll on Russia!
J.B. Group Leader, Educational Tour to USA

The educational benefits of the tour were enormous: hearing about Cuba’s history, communism, geography, Spanish lessons, new food to sample and a completely different and poorer way of life to sample. Our guide Lazaro was with is for the whole tour. An ex-teacher he had the girls enthused and happy, all the girls gave him 10/10, outstanding.
A.B. Group Leader, Educational Tour to Cuba

Overall an absolutely superb tour. Thank you for putting together an itinerary that ensured another phenomenally successful tour. I didn’t think it possible to experience a tour as good as the previous one to the Western USA but my expectations were exceeded considerably.
G.C. Group Leader, Educational Tour to China

Our guide was brilliant, very knowledgeable and he brought Iceland’s culture and scenery to life. He was always helpful with brilliant organisation. The students and staff praised the accommodations, super breakfasts and evening meals. Our driver was friendly and helpful at all times, very professional and skilful.

We had a really remarkable and excellent trip to a very interesting country. It was a really balanced and excellent programme, a really fascinating blend of history, culture and the beach. We were fortunate to have an exceptional tour guide who worked hard for the group and was a pleasure to be with. All the hotels were very good and you arranged a good variety of restaurant settings and locations with really good food.
S.L. Group Leader, Educational Tour to Cuba

The trip fulfilled the educational objectives we had set out and the tours were well planned and effective. We were very appreciative that you provided such an effective package at such short notice: flights, transport, hotels, restaurants and guides were all excellent.
M.B. Group Leader, Educational Tour to Berlin & Krakow

It has been even better than our previous tour, an excellent biological, geographical, cultural, linguistic experience. Rodolpho is an extremely well educated and knowledgeable guide who inspired the students with his ecological interests and passion for conservation; he offered many individual learning experiences in response to searching questions by our students.
A.H. Group Leader, Educational Tour to Costa Rica

The tour has been fab, it definitely met our expectations and more! The students learned and experienced so much. Our tour guide was truly fantastic, all the excursions were excellent and the local, specialist guides very stimulating and knowledgeable. Hotels and meals have been superb.

I am writing to say a huge thank you to all at Casterbridge for arranging a wonderful trip to Vietnam. It really did live up to our expectations and everything ran like clockwork.

Thank you for organising our recent trip to Tunisia! We all had an amazing time – the trips, tour guides, hotels, excursions etc. were all brilliant and the boys have talked about nothing else since! The organisation was first class from the first moment I got in touch with you and your efficiency made my life so much easier. I will definitely use you again and recommend you to other colleagues.
J.J. Group Leader, Educational Tour to Tunisia

I used a different company on our last trip, there is no doubt that our Casterbridge experience was better – you get what you pay for! The flights, hotels, coaches, meals and guides were excellent, they taught us about the culture and language of China. Every place we went to exceeded my expectations, and I have high standards from organizing many trips in the past. Your company delivered on all its promises. At no stage did we feel we were on our own to deal with anything and that made for as relaxing a trip as you can expect to have with a party of that size.
R.W. Group Leader, Educational Tour to China

Everything on our tour to Brazil was fantastic! It was an amazing cultural visit with lots of variety and interesting points to stimulate and encourage further exploration. Our guide was a superb help, he was calm, professional, supportive and had excellent local knowledge.
J.R. Group Leader, Educational Tour to Brazil

You should have been with us at the airport the day we left – soooo many tears, warm embraces and a demonstration of genuine affection for our guide, Francesca. We definitely would ask for her again! The guides used are wonderful – punctual, knowledgeable, engaging and we loved them all!! The selection of hotels and restaurants were excellent as well. I think everyone’s favorite hotel was in Aguas Calientes. There were other “nicer” hotels, but the service at the Cabana was outstanding. The manager worked his “buns” off for our group and went the extra mile to make our visit truly memorable. My hats off to Casterbridge from beginning to end – the staff is most professional, on-task, and helpful.
C.B. Group Leader, Educational Tour to Cuba

Excellent, enjoyable and educational, I could not have hoped for a smoother trip. We were well looked after and fell in love with the country. Thanks again for all your hard work in putting together the trip, we all had a wonderful time and it lived up to all our hopes and dreams.
