“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
“Varied landscape easy to follow route with way markers. Crossing to Holy Island a highlight.”Dr Mansfield, UK
“We were very lucky with the weather, didn't need any of the wet weather gear we had packed. So grateful that it was carried from place to place efficiently for us. The most memorable part was walking the 4km across the Pilgrims' causeway before the tide rose. The whole route was gently undulating and varied, and on hot days walking through deciduous woods provided welcome shade. It appears this is not a well-known route and there were few other walkers. We were glad to avoid crowds. We're grateful to Contours for making the bookings at short notice and finding accommodation for us.”Dr Moss, UK
“Arrangements were all efficiently made. Very good choice of accommodation and useful advice in the pack. Route maps and guide books helpful.”Mr Garner, UK
“Thank you for first class organisation and information sent to us in preparing for the walk which made it a fabulous holiday, stress free.”Miss Douglas, UK
