Such a fun day!

I took this road trip with my bestie and it was a day of smiles, laughs and adventuring! The mystery of not knowing your next stop makes it so much more fun. I also love the option to pick and choose different spots to go to depending on the time of year. There are lots of options in each envelop so we were not disappointed!

Enjoyed the trip with lots of stops. Was a bit worried about how much driving it would be but the stops broke the drive up nicely! 10/10 would recommend

Just awesome

Took my mother for her bday gift and kept it all a mystery for both of us. We absolutely loved our day out together and actually ended up so near to my grandmother’s old house so ended up with a mini trip down memory lane. We had fun !

One of the recommendations the trip had was Duntroon Cyder
House & Farm, we thought they closed at 5pm but I guess they had changed their hours to 4pm. Make sure to tripple check when things close. Otherwise it was super fun and unique!

Great road trip itinerary for friends, family and couples!

Loved Guess Where Trips!!!! They had way more activities planned per stop than we had anticipated (which is a good thing!) Def think if they recommend following their instructions (ie. leave EARLY and grab those hiking shoes if they say to) and also to make this an overnight trip. We did a day trip, but with the amount of activities, it would have been smart of us to turn it into an overnight trip :) All the places were super cute - altho wish there were more instructions for the hike locations (where to park our cars)
