“Overall, we’ve loved the walk. It has really allowed us to de-stress and the views have been fantastic. Everyone we’ve interacted with has been really friendly and helpful.”

Mr Fleetwood, UK

“A positive experience for me as a solo walker. Contours adjusted the length of walks each day to fit in with what I wanted to do along the way.”

Ms Moorcroft, UK

“It was a fantastic break. Superb scenery, pleasant, easy walking, lovely accommodations. It all went as we hoped it would. The paths were very well signposted (no need for instructions whilst walking) and the walking was good and relatively flat.”

Miss Arris, UK

“Everything about the holiday was great. The individual B&Bs were excellent, the 2 hotels not quite as good but were still very good. They lacked the personal touch we got from the smaller places. Instructions for finding the accommodation were good and the one taxi we had to use was easy to contact and on time. The list of places to get evening meals was good and those we used were all excellent. It was all wonderful. The coastal walks were wonderful in their variety of flora and fauna and views. Going inland for some of it added variety. The best was properly the walk across to Lindisfarne using the pilgrims path in the torrential rain! A memorable event.”

Mrs Thursfield, UK

“We found all the accommodations very clean and the staff helpful. The best one was Malabar in Seahouses (Five Stars!) It was well arranged by the Contours team, at quite short notice and we appreciate the work you have put in.”

Mr Howatt, UK

“A perfect combination of walking and sightseeing.”

Mr Mountford, UK

“Very much enjoyed the puffins tour to Farne Islands from Seahouses. Even though most of the puffins had left for the sea, there were still about 200 puffins left so that I was able to take lovely pictures of them. Greatly enjoyed the walk across the sand to Holy Island during low tide along those long sticks helping me to find my way. Did probably more than half of the hike barefoot along the beach. I could have left my walking boots at home (joke). Even went for a short dip in the chilly North Sea. But if I had not forgotten my bathing cap I could have swam for a while. Had lots of lovely little conversations along the way, as people there are friendly, open and have all the time of the world for a chat.”

Ms Cullmann, Germany

“Contours staff and admin support was very good and so were all the B&B's.”

Mr Pert, UK

“Overall we were very pleased. Since we'd never been to Britain before, and were worried about losing our way, we bought a handheld GPS and downloaded your files. They were very helpful. We have friends who are interested, and now that we're back, we plan to encourage them to book too! Our bucket list is long, but we hope to make it back to the UK and would love to do another walking holiday.”
