Make this into an overnight trip!

Fantastic trip to one of my favourite areas in Ontario. Highly highly highly recommend booking an overnight hotel at last stop. Book as early as you can as the hotels fill up. Would be great for a girlfriend getaway trip or bachlorette. If you're doing it as a day trip from Toronto leave early!

An Epic Weekend Getaway

All I can say is WOW! I had been to this area quite a few times before but Guess Where Trips introduced me to so many new hidden gems. Don't even get me started on that taco place on the fourth stop. One of the best meals I've ever had!
