Awesome Trip

This was a great trip for the whole family. Both adults and kids had fun and enjoyed the stops. Make sure to bring your swim suits along. Lots of good food along the way too.

Fun Trip!

Our annual Mother’s Day Guess Where Trip did not disappoint!

Our starting point was West GTA so this was a long day but well worth it.

Each stop was very different and we like the different options at each stop since we each have different fitness abilities. Just the right mix of eating, drinking, shopping and beautiful scenery. We have already talked about returning to some of the towns!

Quarters, a cooler for fresh purchases and cash for many roadside stands are highly recommended!

Every envelope is a surprise.

My family and I really enjoyed this. We always need to be in control of every trip detail so it was nice to just be surprised for once. There were places we never would’ve found on our own. Since there are so many options in each envelope, you can do the trip a second time and make different stops. We spent the night so we could enjoy the final destination longer.

Perfect Summer Trip!

This may be our 7th or 8th Guess Where Trip, and we’re still always excited to discover new stops and towns in Ontario!

We left around 8:30 coming from the GTA and completed most stops and activities with the exception of the suggested hike as the weather was humid and the bugs were out!

As someone else mentioned, a cooler would come in handy if you want to purchase extra goodies, especially at the first few pit stops.

The lunch recommendation at the 2nd stop was great! Would definitely visit again if we’re ever in the area.

The last stop is the best! A town worth visiting again to appreciate and take in all the sights. It made for a long day, but well worth the trip
