Great company, great guides, and a really fun time Our tour guides were fantastic. They paid attention to everyone's needs, were very knowledgeable, and were constantly looking out for the entire group. I had a broken foot during thsi trip, and there was constant monitoring of the activities for what I could do. It also rained a lot while we were there, and they were very flexible about where we went to make sure we didn't have too many walks in the rain. Our group also had a lot of COVID, and they were great about following their COVID policy and turning quickly with the events. I was very appreciative of the experience.

Best Trip Ever! The landscape and history were amazing and I learned a lot. But the best part was the trip leader. She created an environment of trust and care that turned a group of strangers into a community that looked out for each other. She was not only knowledgeable but cheerful and attentive to small details. I can't recommend Big Round World highly enough!

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.

The 4 Corners trip with Big Round World… The 4 Corners trip with Big Round World was a cultural and environmental eye-opener, in addition to being great fun. The itinerary was comprehensive and helped to ingrain the extent and complexity of our early Native American culture and architecture as well as the modern Southwest vibe. Our group of 7 wanderers was extremely convivial as were our two leaders. The meal/restaurant selections were delicious and in keeping with our immediate environs. Unfortunately, some of the places that were on our original itinerary, were closed to visitors due to Covid. The substitutions were good but I was a little disappointed. Accommodations were very comfortable and clean, especially our inn in Santa Fe. Top notch for friendliness, atmosphere, and location. Again the only downside was the breakfasts that were to be included as part of our room price, were not prepared because of Covid. This was my first trip with BRW although I have been on earlier trips with one of the leaders prior to inception of BRW. I think they did a commendable job in making the trip as fun as it was while still balancing the complexities and vagaries of dealing with Covid. Their Covid protocols enabled the group to remain healthy yet feel at ease in our pod. That was a monumental achievement during this pandemic and it contributed to a relaxing, informative, fun and delicious trip. I would definitely participate with another BRW trip in the future!

Beautiful Cotswolds. Hotel was adequate but far from any town and impractical for any alternate activities. Comfortable but would not move the needle of a charm scale. I was surprised we stayed in the same place the entire trip and were bused, often for over an hour, to the hiking sites. More hiking than I could handle, not their fault, but I wish I had a better idea of the venue. Attentive and knowledgeable guides, beautiful towns and countrysides. Good dinners.
