Our group really enjoyed the Small Town Charms trip. It was a good length of time for my elderly parents and we enjoyed visiting places we hadn’t seen before. We are intending to go back to at least one of the towns to explore more fully. The suggestions on different shops/businesses to attend were very helpful. We had a delicious lunch and made some excellent purchases in several of the shops. We would definitely recommend this trip.
We're so happy that you had a wonderful road trip with your parents! :) Thank you so much for leaving a review!

It was a fabulous experience. I will definitely do it again. I did this trip with my sisters. We didn’t open up the cards until we are ready for the next stop. That way it would be a surprise. The only problem is by the time we got to the end Some of the places were already already closed. That was disappointing.
That might be something that you could add to the itinerary without ruining the Surprise.
Thank you so much for leaving a review! :) We're so glad that you enjoyed your experience! We will look into the information in the booklets and see whether we can make the timing clearer for future travellers; thank you for letting us know about this!

Perfect driving weather day. I would rate this higher except that this turned out to be an area we have travelled several times, so we had already visited a number of places on the route. However, we did check out some new spots and revisited one of our favourite shops on stop 1. I don't recommend going on a Saturday if you want to want to find a parking spot for Stop 4. We were disappointed not to check out areas we had never explored on stop 4. If we had more energy, we may have persisted to find a parking spot.
Thank you so much for your review! :) We're so glad you enjoyed your day of exploring, and hopefully you'll try out another one of our road trips soon in an area you're less familiar with!

A perfect gem trail . Some unique spots to explore. Pleasantly surprised by some quaint towns right near by. We ran into many people on the same trail and enjoying the day as much as we did. We had a great day and are looking forward to another Guess Where adventure.
We will definitely try out other GuessWhere trips.
We're so happy that you had a great day and met some fellow Guess Where Trippers on the way too! :) Thank you so much for leaving a review!
