I have been purchasing these trips for the last 4 years, as Anniversary gifts, a day to get away for new parents, and my husband for various celebrations. Everyone has been incredibly pleased with the outing, the sites are well chosen, and the excitement of not going where you are going until you open the next envelope is part of the fun of the day. Will continue to buy these!

My favorite trip so far!
We stayed in the recommend accomodation for a night and it was SO relaxing!
For Stop #1 we would have found it helpful to suggest parking in parking lot #6
Stop #3 Ruins. The description describes the initial uphill of the trail very well but there is a portion just before the bridge you mentioned that has posted signs of a steep hill which felt more difficult than the initial uphill. It was a bit shocking to see the caution steep hill sign when the description said the rest of the trail was relatively flat.
Thanks for the great trip!

We loved our guess where trip. It was the first one and definitely won’t be the last. The best part, we didn’t have to plan a thing!! The best mystery was opening the next envelope to find out where you would end up. We enjoyed every minute. We are planning on going back to see the landscaping in the fall.

This made for a fun day for our family. We live in Kanata and never had much of a reason to go into Gatineau. Didn't know where this would lead us when we purchased it, happy that it felt "just down the road" from Ottawa. Found a great cafe we've gone back to a couple of times since. Nice exploring your own backyard and finding new things you can return to.
