“We all loved walking through the forests, lanes, pastures and over the way too many hills. We explored villages and found pubs with great food and atmosphere. People were friendly and the weather was lovely. Our luggage was moved on time each day, the hotels were well situated and comfortable and the food was delicious. The maps and directions were accurate and we never got lost. I will be signing up for another walk through Contours. Hadrian’s Wall is next.”Mrs Eddy, USA
“It was very helpful to have the accommodation near the track at all the places we stayed in now. We will recommend to others. Everything went well. We will definitely recommend your company and tours to others. If we come back to England, we would like another walking holiday. We were very pleasantly surprised by the quality of food on our route.”Mr Hanson, USA
“The route notes were very good which is so important for a worry free walk.”Mr Le Sueur, UK

“First time taking a walking tour and really enjoyed the experience”Mr Fischer, USA
“Great holiday and would use company again. All of the route was enjoyable and had attributes that we enjoyed”Mr Davies, UK
“The route directions were excellent and the map was well detailed. The problems we had initially were dealt with promptly and we were given reassurance that holiday would go to plan. It was a different holiday to anything else we’ve experienced. We like being active every day. Luggage was always waiting for us on arrival at the accommodation.”Mrs Braid, UK
“Lovely towns and villages to visit, accommodation to enjoy, walking not too challenging, all helped by warm, dry weather. A well thought out walk linking some of the Cotswolds' loveliest towns and villages, using a series of well-established and waymarked routes - Monarch's Way, Warden's Way, Windrush Way, Cotswold Way, etc. We've been on 15 Contours holidays, starting in 2010, and never been disappointed.”Mr Parkinson, UK
“Walking is the way to go! Next time I go I will take a longer walk.”Ms Nelson, USA
