Great first trip!

This was our first Guess Where Trip Adventure and we loved it! We used to do the Shunpiker tour in London every Mother's Day and when the Free Press stopped running it after 50 years we were looking for something similiar and we definitely found it. This one was close to home and we split it up over two weekends. We love taking our time and looking at things. Although it was local we found places we have never been to and some have become places we visit regularly now. Every time we are at one of the food stops we see others with their Guess Where package.

Great September Girls Ramble!

We chose to do almost all the suggested stops - recommend! We would have loved to have had more time, coming from Kitchener area. Next one will be over a weekend so we can really take our time. It was really nice to explore after the summer rush. There are definitely a few spots I'll return to. I'd also recommend saving 1-2 hours for the last envelope!

Lots of variety

It was raining but we still had a full day of indoor stops, which was nice. That said, the food stops could have been better and the shops were very much “live, laugh, love” - not worth stopping at.

Secrets in the South Review

My sister and I got this trip for our mom for Mother’s Day and just went together (end of June). It was such a great girls day trip! The first stop had the best treats to purchase! The last stop was the perfect ending to the trip- highly recommend going on a nice, warm/hot day! We really enjoyed each stop and can’t wait to go on another!
