Country to Coast

Gave this to my husband for his birthday. I booked a hotel so knew we would be able to take our time at each stop. The next day we even back tracked to a few places we didn't make it to the day before. Very fun and made for a great weekend. We even met another couple on the same trip.

What a great idea to turn this into an overnight getaway! This area is so lovely, and we're glad you were able to experience everything over two days. :) Thank you so much for leaving a review!

Great Anniversary fall trip

What a great way to celebrate our Anniversary! This was our first GWT, and we enjoyed how well planned out it was. We got to see places we had never been and saw several other groups of GWTrippers :). If you choose this trip, the second stop definitely requires good walking shoes :). We will be recommending this to others for sure!

We're so happy you had a great time celebrating your anniversary, and on your first GWT too! :) We can't wait for you to try out another one! Thank you so much for leaving a review!

Hikes, cocktails and new scenery

We really enjoyed our Country to Coast Guess Where trip! We chose to stay near the location we had picked, our first stop ended up being in the area we had just driven 45 minutes from (London - Grand Bend)...lol. It made for an adventurous day. It was a beautiful Fall day and the hikes were stunning, the beer was cold at the brewery and the wine tasted perfect swinging while enjoying a delicious slice of pizza. It was the perfect day and I highly recommend it :)

We couldn't be happier that you had a great time! :) Thank you so much for leaving a review!

From Country to Coast

Love driving the country roads away from highway traffic. Bought some yummy baked goods from the family run bakery, coffee across the road & parked to enjoy both before heading to our 2nd stop. Waterfall, secret garden & cider stop made for an enjoyable day.

Loved it!

A really great trip if your dad's visiting and you want to show him some cute Ontario gems. We ended up going further north than the last suggested stop, but the sights (and food!) along the way were great.

We're so glad you had a great day exploring with your dad! :) Thank you so much for leaving a review!
