The History of ClassicTours
*** Managing Director of Classic Tours Awarded Knighthood in New Year's Honours - see 'News' section of website***
Classic Tours has been leading the way in charity challenges since we originated the concept in 1992.
Since then over 42,000 people have cycled, trekked, run, scaled mountains and even ridden horses and camels with us to all corners of the globe while taking part in a charity challenge event.
A staggering £60 million after costs has been raised for hundreds of good causes from large national organisations to local charities and trusts. This has proved to be a new source of charity income - funds that would not otherwise have been available for their invaluable work.
For many people taking part in a Classic Tours charity challenge has been quite simply a life changing experience. We have enabled them to achieve amazing personal goals while at the same time helping those in society less fortunate.
Why not break out of your usual routine and do something different? Whether it’s a long weekend cycle ride from London to Paris or an intrepid trek to the top of Kilimanjaro. We have something for everyone. We hope you decide to take up the challenge – we’re waiting to help you help others!
