“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
“Life changing walk. Will have these memories for the rest of our lives.”Mr Burdick, USA
“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
“Firstly the holiday exceeded all our expectations. We had great weather maybe if anything a bit too hot. All the bookings made by Contours went to plan and everything was great. Transfers of luggage went really well. All the accommodation was very good, obviously she slightly better than others but all the hosts were very friendly and helpful. I already have recommended you to others. I took my three grown up children, (40, 38 and 34) and they want to do something similar next year. You did exactly what you said, no fuss and it all worked without a hitch.”Mr Jenkinson, UK
“Lovely walk full of historical interest and information. We felt a bit like the Romans! Really easy to follow and the best signed route we have done in England.”Mrs Turnelty, UK
“Quite amazing scenery along the walk with many historical sites Roman and later.”Dr Tomkins, USA
“A unique and memorable experience. Good to excellent. A bit more demanding than I had expected. I have recommended your company to an interested party, and I will recommend Contours to any others interested in this walk. I have had very little contact with Contours because everything was done well, making contacts unnecessary.”Mr Sloan, USA
“Really good holiday, rather sad it had to end. The organization was very good, luggage transfers perfect.”Mr Blomley, UK
