“This was one of the most enjoyable long distance walking holidays yet! We barely needed the handbook and maps, it was so clearly signed. We have always found the Contours service reliable.”Mrs Burke, UK
“Thank you for everything. We have been most impressed with our booking with Contours doing the Cleveland Way last week – every accommodation was perfectly situated, clean, welcoming and excellent food. Thank you for your excellent organisation, we have felt very comfortable with all the arrangements and could not fault anything. Last year we did a Camino walk booking with a Spanish company that felt badly short at times on communication so it really highlighted to us how booking with Contours gives us much more peace of mind.”Mrs Steele, UK
“The combination of the moors and the sea coast is stunningly beautiful and provides great variety in the terrain and views. I am amazed at the amount of work that has gone into creating and maintaining the trail. This was my fourth holiday with Contours; I expect to book more in the future.”Ms Matthews, USA
“Yes this was a great walk which I really enjoyed particularly the contrast between the moorland of the first few days and the coast thereafter. I really enjoyed it all and would do it all again although I might book an additional day in Scarborough next time to see round the town more. I think this holiday has something for everyone whatever type of walker you are.”Mr Madge, UK
“with whom else would I book with”Mr Van Den Busch, Germany
“The walk was the best we have done so far with Contours. The walk itself was varied, challenging in places, and it obviously helped that the weather was nearly perfect. The instructions from Contours were excellent as always and the accommodation was mostly good or better. The baggage transfers worked without a hitch.”Mr Gill, UK
“Four days good walking, with rain on one day only! Overall excellent. The Cleveland Way is an excellent walk. It can be demanding and the geography means accommodation can be widely spaced, making for some long sections. I've walked with Contours on five long distance walks now and have always been impressed by your professional efficiency.”Revd Moorhouse, UK
“I was lucky with the weather. I had only one day with rain and two days with some drizzle. The views were great. And I met interesting people. The Cleveland Way is an excellent mixture of moorland and coastal walk with some places of history, e.g. Rievaulx Abbey, Whitby Abbey. Again the team of Contours did a good job. It was my walk no 14 with Contours!”Mr Witzel, Germany
“Hampered by an infected and sore foot, which was obviously no fault of Contours, but it was still a good experience. Would have been excellent had I been fit, but that is another story.”Mr Spencer, UK
