We bought the Backroad Bliss package for our son’s birthday in December. He and his fiancé were thrilled and made arrangements to stay over at the final stop. They’ve always enjoyed exploring the area and liked that your package took care of the planning. They enjoyed the experience so much that they plan to go back in the spring and have also purchased other packages.
My partner and I had so much fun on this trip! The stops are thoughtfully chosen out, and they really do feel like hidden gems! I can't wait to go on another trip :)

We went on this trip in early October and had a phenomenal day. Knowing French is an asset but not a necessity. All the merchants and people we encountered were absolutely wonderful. One merchant had no idea that their little shop was in the GW itinerary; they were so pleased when we showed them. The first and third stops are nature-oriented and were the right remedy for highly-stressed individuals. The shops and eateries on the other stops were a perfect complement.
The scenery along the way, the trails, the lookout vantage points, the quaint bistro where we enjoyed a delicious lunch made for a fabulous day trip. We really enjoyed ourselves. Kudos to "guess where" folks for amazing research and planning of "Backroad Bliss". Well done!
