“Well organized and well prepared by your organisation. And we had a marvellous time walking Hadrian's Wall Path with our dog Tom.”Ms Van Binnebeke, Netherlands
“Quite amazing scenery along the walk with many historical sites Roman and later.”Dr Tomkins, USA
“The whole process worked like clockwork.”Mr Packman, UK
“We enjoyed the challenge of completing the Hadrian's Wall Path. Having someone else book the accommodation and organise the luggage transfer for us made this so much easier.”Miss Jevons, UK
“The accommodation was really good and the route markings are very clear. We have always found all the Contours staff to be incredibly nice and helpful. I love the whole concept & style of how Contours works, the luggage transport and all the accommodation has been great.”Mrs Mccourt, UK
“Fabulous trip and very well organised. Thank you!”Mrs Walton, UK
“The sections between Heddon-on-the-Wall and Carlisle were spectacular, with the combination of sweeping views and the remains of Hadrian’s Wall. The beginning and end sections were less striking but still enjoyable. This was the seventh holiday I’ve booked with Contours. I can’t stop now!”Ms Matthews, USA
“We had a wonderful holiday. Scenery was beautiful, lovely people, nice B&BS and guesthouses, and the weather was great.”Mr Gundersen, Norway
“Everything went seamlessly. As this was our first long distance walk we were apprehensive about it all coming together, and it did almost perfectly. Our friends thought we were a bit mad (I am not a walker really) but hopefully I can convince some that if I can do it then anyone can. We are thinking of doing the North Norfolk walk next year.”Mr Illingworth, UK
