“This is the first time I have used a company to arrange our walking holiday. I was a bit worried that the accommodation wouldn't be as good as when I have arranged it myself but I was pleasantly surprised.”Ms Fiona Day, UK
“It was an amazing walk and an enjoyable time with all the hosts we met during the walk. We don't have enough words - especially in English - to explain how much we liked it.”Mr Moreno, Spain
“A fine walk which we were glad we had done from North to South. This was our sixth trip with Contours as a group and on the whole we were pleased with your standard of service once again.”Mr McDonough, UK
“Contours, thank you for a wonderful holiday.”Mr Windle, UK
“Thank you, we had a lovely, hassle-free holiday.”Mrs Cresswell, UK
“Everything with your service went smoothly! We had wonderful B&Bs and good service with the hosts as well. Everything worked well. Accommodations were excellent. Our things were smoothly transferred!”Ms Aaltonen, Finland
“Everything was perfectly organised and timed. Thank you very much!”Mr Gubser, Switzerland
“The hike was very brilliantly organized by Contours Walking Holidays. Simply put, Contours knows hiking, as the entire staff is out there doing it! The B&Bs and their locations were well placed along the hike. All the B&B’s were so helpful in planning where to eat, things to do in their village and packed us a wonderful lunch for the next day. We did take a day off from our hike in Fort Augustus. In Fort Augustus we played all day taking boat rides in an attempt to track down and find the Loch Ness Monster. Oh, yes, we came so close but Lizzie did indeed avoid us! We walked around the beautiful town, toured the Abby and grounds, and met so many awesome local people. There are so many choices for restaurants. I would describe the hike as “easy to moderate”. The views along the way were breath taking. Our pictures (over 1,000) and videos don’t even come close to what we saw with our eyes. I would recommend extra days in Fort William and Inverness as there is so much to do in those cities. If you are looking for a spectacular long-distance hike you owe it to yourself to have Contours Walking Holidays set up on the Great Glen Way! Great job Contours! We love you guys!”Mr Richards, USA
“We had a fabulous time. All the B&Bs were super - baggage transfer no problems.”Mr Dunn, Germany
