Awesome first time!

This was a great first experience with your trips! We thoroughly enjoyed it and met some other younger couples also doing the trip at the same time! We also have some nice photos as keepsakes and saw some places and things we didn't know about (and I grew up near this area)!

Historic Haunts

A lovely day with a blend of city and country charm. Enjoyed visiting all the locations and hearing the story behind the spot/building/location. Loved that it was self paced and was able to bring my dog. Thankyou!

Haunted Anniversary Trip

We celebrated our 10th wedding anniversary with a historic haunts road trip here in Ontario. It was so much fun and we learned quite a bit. We also were able to venture out and about to places we were not completely aware of as well as seeing some of the beauty of our surrounding towns. We experienced some great small businesses and restaurants as well. I highly recommend trying this out for yourself.
