GBBeautiful 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.

GBI had a wonderful experience hiking on… I had a wonderful experience hiking on the Coast to Coast Path. I took over one thousand pictures and I am still processing them. I also really appreciated Deidre's touring expertise. She did everything but walk for me and always with laughter and a smile. I would highly recommend the trip.

GBBest 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!

GBAfter 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

HRExcellent Cotswolds exploration The scenery was lovely, the company was congenial and the length and pace of each day's hike was perfect. Deirdre's leadership was -- as usual -- excellent. I liked the daily combinations of cultural and historical elements with the hiking. Local expert Phillipe taught us so much about the birds, plants and trees in the area.
