Wonderful day!

We thoroughly enjoyed this driving excursion. The four stops were varied and offered good option choices. There was only one stop that was disappointing where you
should not go during the summer months as it is poorly staffed and that is Le Sucrerie.

Thank you so much for your feedback and for leaving a review. :) We're so glad you enjoyed your road trip!

Stop 1 was a bust for us. It has only 1 option listed - a coffee shop, which we were not interested in visiting. As for Stop 2, we have already done 2 of the 4 options listed in the past before doing this trip. We have yet to complete Stops 3 and 4. So far, we are not very impressed with this Guess Where trip. Hopefully Stops 3 and 4 are more interesting. I don't think I would recommend this trip to friends already familiar with the area.
