Some hits, some misses

The first part of the trip was a little underwhelming - we did mistakenly miss the on the way stop that was recommended which I fully intend of going back and doing maybe this fall. The last couple of stops on the trip were great and I really enjoyed seeing them. Overall it was still a great way to spend the day and enjoy the sunshine.

Amazing day out!

My fiance and I had a great day exploring. We left around 10am and got home around 5pm. There were plenty of options, including great food and drinks. We visited places that were ~30 min away that we never would have gone without this guide. Highly recommend!

Unique Finds That We Would Have Never Picked Ourselves

I love a good plan and I love it even more when I do not have to do the planning! From the suggested departure times to when we could expect to spend money/buy food to including additional activities and stops, Guess Where Trips really thought of all the details. There were so many pros, its hard to capture them in just one review - the biggest one has to be exploring an area we never would have otherwise. The only "con" (I use that term lightly) is that it was advertised as a paranormal tour and while there was certainly some rich history, we did not hear anything about ghosts, outside of the brief NJ Devil tale. With that said, we will be back to hit up the trails and stops we did not get to complete - 2 trips for the price of one!
