I gave this trip as a gift to a newlywed couple and itvwas very well received. It was totally their vibe and it was a nice little getaway for them since they didnt take a honeymoon
Thank you for leaving such a lovely review for 'The Whimsical Route'. We are so happy to hear that it made a great gift for the newlywed couple. It's wonderful to know that it was their vibe and provided them with a nice little getaway. :)
I’ve only used it a little, specifically around dining spots, but looking forward to trying it out this summer on a road trip.
We can't wait for you to try it out! Be sure to tag us in all of your Ontario adventures!
Easy to follow. Love the binding on the book.
Thank you so much for your kind review!
This made the best gift for my mother in law !
We're thrilled this made a great gift! Thank you so much for leaving a review!
Let me start with the good:
Customer service is stellar. I went on vacation and forgot my envelope and they were able to quickly send me the digital version so I could still enjoy. 5/5
This trip was great in itself. Very fun, tasty, and informative. My wife and I had a blast. I would easily recommend for another couple or adult friend group. 5/5, no notes.
The less good: Really pay attention to the note about being better for older kids. We missed that note when booking. It’s true, there isn’t anything not inherently kid-friendly content-wise, but after the first set of stops, our kids were very bored (aged 7, 10, and 11). I’ll go into a few notes below. Warning for some very vague and general but not at all specific spoilers.
First set of stops was great for kids: breakfast, animals, and food tasting. The second set of stops was some shopping locations, only one of which had any interest for kids. The third set of locations were wineries/lunch options. Neither winery had anything for the kids to do and the one that was a restaurant didn’t even have a children’s menu. The last stop went way over the heads of the kids content-wise, and at least one of the stops could be iffy based on the kids maturity levels.
Again, I don’t want to be a downer because my wife and I enjoyed ourselves and I think this would be a great day trip for adults, but I would caution against bringing the younger kids on this one.
Thank you so much for taking the time to leave such a detailed review! We are thrilled to hear that you and your wife had a blast on your trip and that our customer service was able to provide you with a quick solution when you forgot your envelope. Your tip about the trip being better for older kids is definitely great to note. We apologize if your younger children were bored during some of the stops, but we appreciate your honesty and will take your feedback into consideration. We are glad that overall, you enjoyed your experience and we hope that you'll try another one of our trips in the future!
Sturdy bag that holds a lot!
Thank you so much for leaving a review!
What a great idea : ) I now have all my Guess Where Trip packages, my copy of Detour Diaries and my travel journal in one place. I keep everything in my car so I'm always ready for an adventure.
Aww what a great use for our tote bag! :) We love this idea!
very fun day! no complaints. easy going day with lots of options! cannot wait to try another trip
We're so happy that you enjoyed your road trip! :) Thank you so much for leaving a review!
This was such a great trip for me and my girlfriends! Will definately do it again!
Thank you so much for leaving a review! We're so glad you had a great road trip with your friends! :)
Really enjoyed all the outdoor experiences. We took our dog with us and he only wasn’t welcome at one coffee shop. We will have to return to XXXXXXXXXX because the stairs and terraces were made of metal grated and my dog was spooked by them. Other than that all in all a great experience and a fun time. Plus we had beautiful weather which made it extra special.
Thank you so much for leaving a review! :) We're thrilled that you had a great day on your road trip and brought your pup along too!
We really enjoyed our Guess Where guide. We explored the area as recommended. Very well laid out and easy to find the locations.
Thank you so much for leaving a review! :) We're so happy you had a great time exploring!
I love what your company is doing to get people togather and outside getting to know nature at its best. With you doing this, it helps little business to make money by having people stop in and buy a butter tart or a doughnut 🍩 The water falls and trails are amazing and there are lots of them. Keep up the great work
Thank you so much for your kind review! We're thrilled to hear that you enjoyed your experience and that you appreciate our efforts to bring people together and connect with nature. We also love supporting small businesses in the area and are glad you were able to enjoy some delicious treats during your visit! Thanks again for your support!
We absolutely love this. We travel for hockey within Ontario multiple times per year. Having this with us makes those trips SO MUCH MORE FUN. There isn't a city/town/village where we can't find something great to do, or refer to the team. Thanks again!
Aww this made our day! So glad you're enjoying the book - we love to hear it! :) Be sure to tag us in all of your adventures!
This Detour Diary is such a fantastic resource for exploring Ontario! I love how thoughtfully it’s put together with destinations all across the province, making it easy to find adventures no matter where you’re located. The variety is amazing — from hiking trails and caves to wineries, farms, and hidden gems I never would have discovered on my own.
What really makes this stand out is how stress-free it makes planning a road trip. The added recommendations for places to eat and stay overnight are incredibly helpful and take all the guesswork out of organizing a getaway. Whether you’re looking for a day trip or a full weekend adventure, this diary makes exploring Ontario feel fun, easy, and inspiring. Highly recommend for anyone who loves road trips, local adventures, or discovering new places!
WOW! Thank you so much for your kind words and review! We're so thrilled that you're enjoying using our book; a lot of time went into creating it and we love seeing our customers using it on the road. :)
Lots of fun for kids got it for my wife/daughter for mother's Day and we had great fun just done one stop so far but enjoying it
Ooo we're so thrilled that your family has enjoyed our new product! :) Thank you so much for leaving a review, and be sure to tag us in your adventures - #guesswheretrips!
Purchased this as a family Christmas gift. We live close to the 1st stop and aren't really a fan so we skipped it found our own starting point in Antrim, hint, hint.
We had a fantastic day finding some local gems we weren't aware of and will be going back. From start to finish it was a great day.
Thank you so much for leaving a review! We're so glad you had a great day on the road and found some local gems to return to again and again! :)
This was the first package I tried with my best friend for her birthday. It was laid out perfectly and very easy to follow. Each step gives you multiple recommendations to choose from in case you like options or want to extend each stop to explore each area more. Without spoiling anything, some stops led us to cute downtown areas in smaller towns to walk around in. The hotel recommendations to make it an overnight trip was actually such a great idea! We decided last minute to book something, and we ended up staying a beautiful Inn. One suggestion before hitting the road is to look at the "Updates" as some restaurants/ destinations were no longer open or under construction. I'm looking forward to trying out more packages.
Thank you for taking the time to leave us such a detailed and positive review. We are happy to hear that you and your best friend had a great time! It's great to know that our layout was easy to follow and that you enjoyed the multiple recommendations. We can't wait for you to try out more of our packages in the future! :)
Hi
We had the best time with our trip! It was so fun going to the next stop. This was a birthday surprise for my husband. He absolutely loved it! It was easy to follow and we had a blast at all our stops. Everyone we met was great!Can’t wait to do our next guess where! 10/10😎
Thank you so much for your kind words and lovely review! We're so glad that you had a great time on your road trip - what a fabulous birthday surprise!
We had a very good time. We did do it on a Sunday so the bakeries were not open for our first stops. But we may do by just going to a Tim Hortons getting a coffee and a treat. The hikes were nice. We ended up not doing the very last one as we were both tired. The weather was perfect. Not too hot, not raining. Sun was out. My husband and I both enjoyed the Hardy trail. There's very scenic and easy enough to do. We did the three kilometer loop.
Thank you so much for leaving a review and sharing your experience! :) We're so thrilled that you had a great time!
Got this as a gift for my sister who's the queen of planning stuff, but has 3 little ones at home so I thought this might give her some fresh ideas for the summer. She LOVED it! She's already done two of them lol Also nice that it's not just Toronto, but also GTA so it's a nice mix of destinations and you're not driving downtown every weekend.
Thank you so much for leaving a review for our new product! We're thrilled that your sister loved Play Day Passport; we hope she and her kids get lots of use out of it! :)
bought this after seeing it on instagram and my kids fought over who got to scratch the first one 😂 we've only done one so far (the one they posted with the rainbow hot chcolate and allan gardens) but it was sooo fun! the kids loved it - cant wait to do more
We're so happy you're enjoying our new product! Thank you so much for leaving a review, and be sure to tag us in all of your adventures!

Thank you so much for leaving a review about our Detour Diaries book. :) We're happy it came quickly and so glad your wife has enjoyed it so far!! Be sure to tag us in your adventures!
Really enjoyed this! Our one regret, was not bringing a cooler and ice packs so we could purchase some of the frozen meat pies and other items requiring refrigeration. But, no problem, if it hadn't been for this trip, we never would have discovered these places! The rescue farm was amazing. Fantastic staff and SO many animals! A couple places on this trip that we will go back to, and spend a lot more time.
We're thrilled that you had a fantastic time and found lots of places to return to. :) Great note about bringing a cooler and ice packs too, thank you for mentioning that! Thank you for leaving a review!
