Testimonials
"I've done 7 challenges organised by Classic Tours and have found them efficient, meticulous and friendly. I would recommend them to other charities who want to raise money in this way."
Edwina Currie, Former Health Minister
"BHF had the best year ever in 2006 from overseas charity challenges. We have been doing events with Classic Tours since 1994 and last year we had more participants than in any of the previous 11 years."
Julie Sorrell, Head of Events, British Heart Foundation
