Someone asked Mark Twain why he was so successful. He answered, “Because I was born excited.” At A Classic Tours Collection, we understand that travel is a people business. The success of a tour depends on the people who planned your journey, the quality of the care you receive before you travel and, most of all, on the people who provide services at each of our destinations. Because of this understanding, we are consistently looking to improve our tours. We understand that knowledge, skill and commitment are necessary for success. But, like Mark Twain, we also understand that, above and beyond all that, enthusiasm and passion are critical to providing travel experiences that surprise and delight.
The best-laid plans lead to the best experiences, those magical moments that elevate a trip to a journey and elevate to a priceless memory. All of our destinations and services are thoroughly inspected, and tour programs meticulously planned—mostly by one of the owners of the company. We also listen to past travelers, many of them are regulars and following their suggestions, recommendations. Other times, it’s understanding and learning from leading tours and our own experiences. Our tour programs are designed to take you to the profound and famous places everyone must see-” the secret gems we know about and provide”.
Each traveler is assigned a single Passenger Service Representative who will coordinate all aspects of their travel arrangements and ensure that all is set for a successful travel experience.

Having travelled to over 130 countries and some repeated many times, my desire to explore the rest of the world is unending”.To Me- Travel is the only thing you buy, that enriches your life.
