Least favourite Guess Where Trip

We decided to take my two granddaughters on the Fairy Tale Trip because it is recommended for children. We have done many Guess Where trips and this was not for kids and was not what I usually expect. Most of the trip was city and the park was closed, and the entrance was an encampment which did not make my granddaughters feel comfortable. We went to the donut shop, it was ok. We just did the Country to Coast trip yesterday and this was amazing trip for adults and would be awesome for kids!!

Thank you for letting us know! We actually included in our udpates section as much of this trip has changed unfortunately. I'm so sorry for your experience and if you email us we can provide you with a refund.

Name of this trip is a bit of a stretch

The trip was okay, not necessarily the most kid friendly thing to do with a toddler. I expected it to be a bit more kid focused but it really seemed like something only the elderly would really enjoy. The one recommended spot to eat was surrounded by a tent city, was super sketchy and had uncomfortable seating. We checked with a friend from that city on a spot to eat. Had I had any idea of the city we’d end up travelling around I would never have purchased it. Not really my idea of a great toddler friendly outing to go to such an industrial city. I did buy two trips during the recent sale and I’m quite nervous to do the next one. I wouldn’t say there is much fairy tale about it. We made the most of it but I was pretty underwhelmed.

Gift for Coworker

I didn't go on this trip, but it was a gift for a coworker/friend and her family. She told me it was an amazing day and such a great gift! Highly recommend as a gift for a family!

Fairy Tale Trail

My daughter and I have done this trip and will do it again. I have since gifted it to two other people. So much to do.
