“We had a delightful time, end to end (the nice weather DID help). The accommodations were all great (with some wonderful gems such as Layside and Carr Edge).”Mr Woodhouse, Canada
“Excellent organisation. Accommodation good to excellent. Holiday worked very smoothly.”Ms Dickenson, UK
“I have dreamed of walking Hadrian's wall for 45 years. Doing so was a dream come true. The walk from Chollerford to Steel Rigg was a real physical and mental challenge compounded by the fact that it was very windy and there was horizontal rain. At the end of that day I felt fortunate to have done it. I highly recommend the walk plus I recommend booking with Contours.”Mrs Wright, UK
“Did this trip once before, in 2010, you’ve seriously upped your game in terms of accommodations. They were amazing this time. Perfect combination of history and scenery. Seamless luggage transfers and accommodations means we put on our boots and go. All else is taken care of.”Dr Burke, USA
“All sections were lovely - most obvious Wall sections and forts in the mid-sections, but the section out of Newcastle has wonderful historic interest, and the views on approaching Bowness are beautiful.”Mrs Yates, London
“An excellent walking holiday. Both my wife and I thoroughly enjoyed our holiday.”Mr Stoddart, UK
“Excellent week and impeccably organised, thank you.”Mr Buchanan, UK
