My recent experience with Big Round… My recent experience with Big Round World was very satisfactory. We had a small group with enough health precautions to keep Covid worries to a minimum. The trip was both educational and fun. The food was excellent! It was disappointing that the trip had to be modified for both weather and Covid. There were alternatives offered although a few times it was unclear if we would have had enough time for either the original activity or the substitute. In cases where time was tight it would have been helpful to know in advance what part of a museum we should focus on such as the paintings at the Coronado State Museum. And to have a clear time limit set. The hiking was all that I could have asked for. I was expertly guided over challenging parts and satisfied with the length of the hikes. One suggestion would be to leave the Santa Fe and Taos city experiences to the end of the hike and go first to Bandolier. It was a bit disappointing to do so much van travel and city walking at the beginning of the trip but it would have been a nice way to wind down at the end. I learned a great deal about the Chaco Phenomena and I am interested enough to continue reading on the topic. Our guide was knowledgeable and stimulated our interest. I might suggest a audio system in the van to hear the leader better. It might also have been used to facilitate a group discussion about our experience while we were driving. The van was comfortable and I appreciated the suggestion to rotate seats. Anyone taking this trip should know there are long distances to cover and some rough back country roads. Overall this was a very good trip and I would highly recommend to anyone interested in spending time in the Four Corners

Cheerful and well-paced The trip was well-paced; we traveled and hiked to many great locations, and I never felt rushed. Unexpected events, like the delayed Cook Sound crossing, turned into a unplanned visit to the Wellington Botanic Gardens. I appreciate the trip leader's can-do attitude, their cheerful flexibility, and attention to detail.

An amazing blend of culture An amazing blend of culture, North American native peoples history, natural beauty, excellent food, historic inns, and great company. Great attention to individual needs of participants as well as COVID-19 safety precautions. Guides provided yummy homemade cookies and healthy outdoor snacks and delicious "on the go" lunches in the beautiful surroundings. I would suggest future trips in this area provide more details on difficulty level of hikes the day before so appropriate choices can be made. Calls to restaurants a few days ahead would assure open status.

Given the challenges of the Covid… Given the challenges of the Covid epidemic, Big Round World was able to provide a very good trip. They had back up solutions when key areas were closed to public access. They also provided some unique experiences with local experts.
