Overall an enjoyable trip Overall an enjoyable trip. The single use of the hotel room was great, including the view of the Dolomite mountain range.Most of the hikes were great, although the initial explanation of the hikes in the literature was incomplete. Since this was the inaugural trip to this region I'm sure a lot of the issues and confusion will be corrected on the next trip. The other group members were fun to be with although their were some conflicts with meal times and some other minor issues, which is always the case with a group trip.I would recommend to anybody this is an enjoyable trip.

I 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.

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?

C2C splendid! C2C splendid! Deidre....beautifully planned, experienced leader, paid attention to individual strengths and needs of team members, smart and FUN! She can herd cats. Local guides.... wonderful additions to our group as we crossed 3 national parks Group.... fit, fun, kind. B and B’s.....all great! Highly recommend Big Round World! I look forward to going on more BRW adventures.

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.
