“In the round, no pun intended, the standard of accommodation and facilities were the best we have had in some eight walks with Contours.”Mr Henderson, UK
“It was very helpful to have the accommodation near the track at all the places we stayed in now. We will recommend to others. Everything went well. We will definitely recommend your company and tours to others. If we come back to England, we would like another walking holiday. We were very pleasantly surprised by the quality of food on our route.”Mr Hanson, USA
“Such a wonderful way to see the Cotswolds area, relax and get some fresh air. For active adventurers looking to explore England this is the one!”Ms Johnson, USA
“Everything worked like clockwork. We hadn't done one in about 20 years (with you) and it was just the same. Turns out the weather was rather warm for this time of year but not much you can control about the weather. Very much enjoyed the walk. Fun, fun fun. Loved the towns, paths and the views where at every step. We did a holiday 20 years ago with you and never forgot, so we booked this trip.”Mr Blackley, USA
