Continental is notorious for having narrower than advertised tires. That said, it does depend, to some extent, on the rims. I've got 700x28 Conti GP 4 Seasons on one of my bikes. The front tire, on a Salsa Delgado Cross rim, measures at 28.4. The rear tire, on a Ritchey Silhouette rim, measure 26.3.
