“We have done a lot of holiday with you before. Very good.”Mr Colwill, UK
“We had a wonderful trip!! Loved every minute. I had been on three previous walking tours with Contours, but none of my three sisters had. This was new to them, but they had a great time and were very happy with the accommodations, the information provided, the transfers, and the luggage service.”Ms Green, USA
“All the accommodation was excellent - the standard seems to improve year by year - and we had an excellent walk.”Mr Howell, UK
“We were lucky with the weather, and May was a great time to benefit from wild flowers in bloom and birdsong along the route. All the places we stayed were very welcoming of our dog and ourselves.”Mrs Woods, UK
“We had a great time in Scotland and England along sent St Cuthbert’s Way. The tour was beautiful. The people we stayed with were very friendly and helpful and our food and rooms were spot on.”Ms Lucas, Canada

“The walk included an interesting variety of landscapes. It was well laid out and the distances walked each day were good.”Dr Matthews, UK
“An excellent and not crowded walking route with decent accommodation.”Mr Biro, UK
“St. Cuthbert's Way was, though incredibly challenging, a magnificent path to follow, especially the last day, walking across the sand and mud to Holy Isle. MOST of the accommodations were good, and we were absolutely DELIGHTED by the cab drivers. I never would have thought that cab drivers would be a highlight of the experience, but they were. The luggage transfers were flawless, which was so helpful. The Allerton House and the Lindisfarne on Holy Isle were superb lodgings. Like any such experience, there were ups and downs, but overall it was a great experience.”Ms Kleeman, USA
