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

Fantastic trip! Fantastic trip! I'm a repeat traveler with BIG ROUND WORLD for good reason. Deirdre and Phillippe worked together to provide a truly enjoyable trip including historical facts of the areas, current fun events like wine tasting, art immersion in a real quarry, and tasting the regional specialties of local foods. The daily walks/hikes are designed to enhance the views and cultural sites of the areas. The small group size allows for individual attention while also promoting group experiences and new friendships. In addition they use great hotels, and wonderful local restaurants. I have the highest regards for this travel company and look forward to traveling with them again!

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.

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.

My first trip w/Deirdre was 2013 My first trip w/Deirdre was 2013. With the exception of 2014, I have participated in her hikes every year since. I love England so it’s always special to return. Deirdre is wonderful- infinitely patient, very knowledgeable about an area’s history, & knows a thing or two about keeping a group together! Her co-leader,Philippe, is an enviable hiker with an extensive knowledge of the flora & fauna. I’m very much looking forward to the upcoming trips to Cornwall & Provence. Bonnie Wright
