  • All Inclusive Tours with Casterbridge

    Our tours have always been fully inclusive of all air and land services. This includes flights, airport taxes, a comprehensive sightseeing programme, all group transportation, 2 meals a day and the permanent presence of a Casterbridge Tourguide. Please refer to our area dedicated to "What is Included" to review the full listing of our included tour services.

    Casterbridge Tours will never induce groups on tour with inexpensive prices only to add on all sorts of extras later. We do not consider this to be fair to either group leaders or tour participants. For this reason, Casterbridge Tours has no registration fees, no adult supplements and no hidden weekend supplements or airport taxes to be added. Quite to the contrary, all excursions and admissions are included, right down to Metro passes in all capital cities!

    Eiffel TowerWhy should a teacher face the dilemma of half the group wanting to ascend the Eiffel Tower and half not being able to afford it? On our educational tours for schools and colleges, our all-inclusive policy is an intrinsic part of our touring philosophy. Casterbridge includes everything in advance so that the students do not need to carry around large amounts of cash. Furthermore, this structure allows us to pre-book many visits to major sights and eliminate unnecessary waiting in line while on tour.

    What should a teacher do for the many free days when nothing has been planned in the itinerary? Often referred to as 'free days to explore' by other Operators, you will discover that these days are nothing more than opportunities for Tourguides to earn commission by pressuring your group into purchasing high price 'optional' excursions. With Casterbridge, there are no free days when you are expected to pay an additional fee for 'optional' excursions. Indeed, Casterbridge can often organise a range of additional, escorted evening activities at every destination featured in our tours, without cost implications, due to the permanent presence of our guides.

    DON'T BE FOOLED... We are amazed when we look at our competitors' brochures, examine the small print and calculate that all the hidden extras usually add up to hundreds of dollars! When you compare the all-inclusive nature of our tours to those of other Tour Operators, you will discover that their low lead-in price begins to add up and up!

    As you can see, the Casterbridge philosophy always emphasises education, safety and the smooth operation of each tour that we operate.
