Can’t wait to go back and redo this one, we were also lucky and found some extra great locations nearby.
My husband and I did the waterfalls package. We love going for walks and chasing waterfalls! I do photography as a hobby and was able to get some great fall pictures as well as waterfalls 😊. Such a great idea! Looking to doing some more
My family explored “All the Pretty Things” one Saturday just last weekend. The trees were still lovely and the weather was perfect! The only stops we could not take part in, leaving at this time of year, we’re the Rideau Tours and Kiwi Gardens.
Even if you have been to the destinations before, you still get to explore places within you might not have otherwise.
Lovely time, lovely day, lovely company.
This is a great road trip if you love relaxing back road drives this is the package for you.
Driving down the road with blue mountains in the foreground is such a great experience.
We had a wonderful day visiting most of the stops along the way. It was a great idea to list optional stops so we could choose 'to do' or 'move along'. We got to see places we would have most likely just drove by. We got to talk to a lot of people and shop owners. Again... Just a lovely day full of new memories.
We recently did the “Vistas & Caves” trip and it was such an incredible experience! The fall colors were absolutely breathtaking, making every stop along the route even more beautiful. Each destination was thoughtfully chosen, and the restaurant and food recommendations were perfect—great quality and variety. We can’t wait to do another trip and are already planning to buy some as gifts for friends and family. Highly recommend for anyone looking to explore new places and make wonderful memories. Thank you for an unforgettable day!
I decided to try this trip around Halloween because what better time to do a haunted tour. Definitely worth looking into if you’ve ever thought about it. It was amazing to see all these hidden gems within 1.5 hour radius from home. Don’t want to give anything away. Fantastic day and will definitely be doing this again.
This was a fabulous day trip! My mum and I left for our destination early in the morning and were able to complete 3/4 cards. The trip gets further and further from the leave point so we had to turn around to make it back home. Card 4 also requires a 4 wheel drive for an adventure which we didn’t have at the time. Caution though for card 2 - the site gets closed on September 18 as they stop maintaining it. Go before then! We had a great time and I can’t wait to complete card 4’s stops!
We had such a great time celebrating a 40th birthday! Definitely recommend this for anyone looking for a great day out with friends or family!
My boyfriend suprised with this for my birthday and we had such a great time exploring all the sights and food! the coffee spots were amazing! Thank you!! :)
This was a birthday gift for my husband. We had never heard of get Away Trips before. We were so pleasantly surprised. We chose a beautiful sunny day in Autumn to travel through the back roads in the area. We were excited to open each envelope as we headed to our next destination and discovered new towns and places to visit. It was a unique gift to receive, very well laid out and informative and we will definitely do it again. Plus it will make a great gift as well.
Such a wonderful day. Each envelope took us to a new destination. We took 2 friends with us and enjoyed each place we visited. There was a true gem here. We were surprised to find it here. Would recommend this to everyone. Cannot wait to do another one
We had a wonderful time.
Went to places we never been or heard of. Highly recommend will be purchasing another trip.
What a blast exploring small town gems in the fall! Went with our parents and had a great day with an awesome mix of activities for everyone.
We went with our adult kids and wecall had alot of fun. Seen and went to places that we had no idea about. Nice pretty gowns and shops. Cant wait till our next one.
Overall, this was a good experience with some interesting spots. It was a good way to encourage us to get out of the city and see parts we otherwise wouldn't have while on our trip. We did have some challenges because there are no actual maps or driving directions provided, which there should be since the instructions also say "headed to a place with limited cell service". We had a hard time getting Apple or Google Maps to recognize the destinations, even while we had service, which meant we missed our turn and the stop we were most excited about. Basic driving directions from the major city (get on i95 west, etc) should be included - both for those who are not familiar with the starting point and those who are more technologically challenged. The included maps were also useless and it wasn't until we stopped and got a park service map that we really figured it out - especially for places where it may be less wall traveled roads, I would expect a better quality map to be included.
The trip was very nice. I found it hard to walk in some spots, I have a bad back and legs. I use a cane to walk with. The waterfalls would've been more beautiful if they were dried up because of not having any rain. But we enjoyed ourselves.
We ran out of time for the last envelope. Because that place had the most to enjoy, perhaps making it envelope 1 would help out better. Envelope 3 was a waste, in our experience.
I bought this trip as a gift for my sister and she absolutely loved it. She thought it was amazing, and couldn’t believe she didn’t know some of these spots around her even existed. This was an awesome way to spend the day.
After her description I knew I would be buying other trips from you guys.
We had a great time, we live close to the stops, but there was so much we leaned. We had no idea about the history in Sparta.
Great idea, I love this. Surprised my boyfriend and he adored. All the little stops were so fun and well planned out. We had fun with the envelopes along the way!
He actually wants to do them all now!
We absolutely adored this trip! We made the most out of each stop and we actually turned this trip into two separate occasions- we did the first two stops in one day (since we made the most out of each stop + bonus stops, it took us all day, which we loved!) and then did the other two in another day. We brought our dogs along with us and they had the best time, too! I absolutely recommend this trip to couples or friends, especially those with dogs.
We thoroughly enjoyed our day! My husband has some mobility issues so we opted out of the first suggested activity and modified it for his abilities. The 2nd and 3rd stops were great! We had a late start to our day, so opted out of stop 4. I would do this again!
I'll be buying other packages for sure.
We loved the laid back feel of this day trip. We love all the options offered for all 4 stops, the only one that wasnt totally for us was the 4th stop. This wasnt your fault. We just couldnt decide which to do. We are definitely wanting to do another trip in the future.
