Waterfalls and quaint spots

What a great way to spend the day! We had been to many of the these locations previously but hadn’t experienced them in the same way. We are planning a trip back to at least two of the stops.
A great gift for any of the difficult to buy for people on your list.

Local Markets and Picturesque Town

This was the first time my husband and I did a Guess Where trip. The first stop was great and we loved the optional stops as well so we did them all! There was a hiking suggestion with a lookout spot that was a bit disappointing but it was still nice to go for a short walk in nature. The second stop was another lovely location and a great spot to check out local shops. The restaurant suggestion was good timing and we enjoyed a good meal. The last stop offered a surprising stop which we also enjoyed. There was one stop we missed due to a festival that closed off the street but we figured we could save it for another time. All in all we had a great day!

An excellent day trip. Even though we had been to a couple of places before, we learned new things. Highly recommend.

What an amazing day!

My husband and I jumped in the car with total excitement opening the envelope - GUESS WHERE Trips - and we were off! First stop was amazing and the second stop was fun and the third stop was our favourite and the fourth was ( like it was meant to be ) a place that meant a lot to us. We have not done anything unplanned by us - like this before and it was the best decision we have made. Beautiful Fall weather and amazing people along the way.
We will be doing this again next year!

My boyfriend and I loved this trip! There were definitely some little gems along the way that we have never heard of before.
