“Overall, this was an excellent walk, well organised by Contours, luggage transfers went smoothly and accommodation was generally of a high standard.”Mr Cribb, UK
“All the arrangements, including accommodation, transfer taxis and baggage transfers worked extremely well. The weather was perfect and the quality of walking on the Dales High Way was brilliant, spread over eight days. The descent from Ingleborough was hair raising, as described in the guide book; we are very proud that we have done it though!”Mr Turner, UK
“Definitely the best trail I have done so far.”Mr Parish, UK
“This was our seventh long distance walk planned for us by Contours - a very enjoyable and peaceful walk. Thank you! Wonderful countryside, great accommodation, weather very good for September! A good variety of walking - a mixture of gentle sections and more challenging ascents and descents. Looking forward to the eighth next year!”Dr Roberts, UK
“Very well organised and a lovely walk. I enjoyed all the days in their own way, but the 3rd day over Ingleborough was particularly enjoyable.”Dr Hutt, UK
“We were blessed with great weather, guide book excellent, high standard of B&B's, easy to find and all in all, fabulous week. Too difficult to pick the best bits .. all different and all superb!!”Mr Needham, UK
“We enjoyed the contrasting landscapes that we journeyed over, the changing views & the highlights, such as Malham Cove & the many waterfalls. We were pleased to see the absence of litter on the route & in the towns & villages. Luggage transfer by Sherpa worked like clockwork. The taxis also worked well & were flexible. I would rate River House as one of the best B&Bs that I have stayed in.”Mr Hind, UK
“Overall, very good standard of accommodation and good walking instructions. Maps and walking books excellent. Overall, holiday very good indeed.”Mrs Matts, UK
“We had a wonderful time! Challenging but not too taxing, beautiful scenery even in wet days. Our first experience of a self-guided walking holiday definitely won't be the last. I have already recommended Contour to friends. We were impressed by the whole process, from enquiry to booking and during our holiday.”Mrs McKenna, UK
