Our trip with BigRoundWorld was Outstanding! Our trip with BigRoundWorld was outstanding. Throughout our trip we were provided a level of personal experiences that can rarely be found with larger travel companies. If you are looking for “top shelf” care and enjoyment BigRoundWorld is the boutique company you should travel with!

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

Coast to Coast with Big Round World Have just been on the Coast to Coast with Deirdre of Big Round World. A truly wonderful experience. Hiking across England - with breathtaking scenery brought to life by daily local guides whose love for the history of their surroundings was all apparent. Management of the whole trip flowed beautifully. Deirdre’s experience, knowledge and enthusiasm for the trip shone through. Long standing relationships have been built up over the years not only with all the hosts of our B&Bs but also with all the local guides who were obviously delighted to be sharing the C2C trip with Deirdre and her participants once again.

After a long flight it was good to get… After a long flight it was good to get to New Zealand and start the fun. The weather was not on our side and it rained everyday which made changes to the plans. Out guide and the Big Round World worked hard to find alternate things to see and kept a positive attitude to help keep our spirits up. Even when 5 people on the trip came down with COVID, extra care was given to them to get them isolated and able to kind a way home. Looking forward to another trip with Bid Round World. Pat

Hiking in the Heart of the Dolomites The Italian Dolomites are stunning, and BRW is such an easy, happy way to experience them: a lovely breakfast at a nice hotel, a cab ride all lined up to the trailhead of a well chosen trek, a cab to meet you at the end of a good strenuous hike, and a nice local dinner at a well chosen restaurant. What could be better? The trains in Italy are fantastic, so if you throw in a trip to, say, Milan, afterward, you have the best of all (hiking/city) worlds. Bolzano was a great place for our BRW meet-up and to get over jet lag, and the Cortina Express back to Venice was excellent. I would happily take this trip all over again, and isn't THAT the measure of a great time?
