Great Stops

This was a fabulous day trip. Each stop was great, and with friendly people. The scenic drive between stops was an added bonus. The brewery stop had exceptional service, the best food and delicious ciders.

Was so much fun!

I purchased Taste of Country this fall for a special adventure for my sister and myself. It was fabulous. It had a variety of things to do on our journey. We shopped, ate and walked. It was so fun to open the envelopes after each location. I look forward to going on another surprise road trip.

Had the best time!!

We did the Taste of the country Road trip, and it was absolutely amazing! All of our stops had something unique to offer. We did have an issue with our second stop, in which we reached out to customer service right away and they were quick to respond and offer their apologies and compensation for the inconvenience. Guess where trips is a unique day trip company, and I will definitely do this again, in fact, I’m browsing to see what my next trip will be that I will take probably by the end of the year!!!
