This was a fantastic day trip for a childless adventure with my partner. We enjoyed the recommend stops and hike and even got to see the spots filmed in one of our favourite tv shows! We even discovered a few fun farm stops to bring our kids back to. I can't wait to do another trip!

Thank you so much for leaving a review! :) We're so glad you two had a great day of exploring and got to enjoy some quality time together!

Taste of the country - its was Ok

This was our second guess where trip and we were so excited to go on it. The first 2 stops are not places I’d recommend. We spent all of 5 minutes at the first stop and I believe the same at the second. There was not much to do. I was actually a little surprised they were part of the trip. Perhaps if I had kids the first stop would have been ok but we didn’t.
I totally loved the first guess where trip but this one… nothing wowed me.

Thank you for taking the time to leave a review for 'Taste of the Country'. We appreciate your feedback and are sorry to hear that your experience was not as enjoyable as your first trip. Our goal is to provide a memorable and exciting experience for all of our guests, and we apologize that the first two stops did not meet your expectations. We hope you will give us another chance to wow you in the future!

Best Day Ever!!!

If I could give 10 stars I would!! I gifted this trip to my mom for Mother's Day and we ended up doing it together on my birthday! This experience was truly the best. We spent so much time at each location and were eager to open our envelopes to get to the next spot. It was so neat going to new places so close to us that neither one of us had heard of before. We already have plans to travel back to the area!! Didn't realize how nice it is not to plan a day until it's done for you. We're already planning our next Guess Where Trip!!

We love this so much! :) We're so happy you had a fabulous day exploring with your mom, and we can't wait for you to do another trip sometime soon!
