Such a fun adventure!

This was our first Guess Where Trip and we've already bought more! We had so much fun being surprised and seeing where the day took us. The packaging is fantastic, the interactive maps and guide information are incredibly helpful and it's something we've recommended to many friends!

Girls Day Trip

I enjoyed doing this Guess Where Trip with a friend from work. The third and fourth stops were the best. I definitely plan to return to the third stop to explore the hiking in the area with outdoorsy friends. Overall, it was a fun and busy day.

A fun day out with my granddaughter

Chloe is 16 and I’m over 80 so it’s sometimes hard to find a day trip which we can enjoy together. However this trip satisfied us both. She had never been to the area (an hour and a bit west of Toronto) and I hadn’t been there for ages. We didn’t make all the stops as it was a very hot day and we decided to go swimming at a local beauty spot not on the itinerary. We also stopped at the campus of one of the universities she may end up attending. But the itinerary did take us to a number of places we would definitely have missed on our own and gave her some insight into a community which has a unique local culture. An added attraction for Chloe was that I allowed her to drive on some of the quieter roads, as she is the proud owner of a learner’s permit. All in all, it was a lot of fun.

Great Trip for All!

We did this trip with my mom and our two teenage children. It was enjoyable for all ages and we enjoyed the different stop options that would allow you to further explore / experience each stop. Although we had been to some of these places before, at each stop we discovered something new. Our favourite was stop number three - something I’d always wanted to see! We will be booking more trips in the future!!
