The trip was a unique adventure visiting towns and locations for the first time. The mix of sights and activities was well chosen and we enjoyed each and every one. We arrived in Forest at the cafe just minutes after closing but they treated us to a c couple of fritters. We promised to return, which we did a month later and highly recommend stopping there. The apple cider they sell is a must.
We are ready to try our next Guess Where Trip and so are our friends since they've heard our recommendation.
Thank you so much for your lovely review! We're thrilled to hear you had such a memorable adventure and enjoyed the mix of sights and activities along the way. What a sweet story about the café in Forest—it's wonderful to hear they treated you so kindly, and we're glad you went back to support them. The apple cider tip is noted! We're excited to hear you're ready for your next Guess Where Trip, and we truly appreciate you spreading the word to your friends. We can’t wait to surprise you all again! :)

Four of us had a blast together. So many places we never would’ve discovered unless we were on this adventure. The highlight for us was the fantastic charm of Hamiltons Bakery- Patrick Hamilton was so welcoming. What a character! Even had a gift for us when he found out we were on a “Guess Where” trip. So many varied stops-we all loved the whole day.
Aww we love to hear this and are so glad that you had a lovely time! :) Thank you for leaving a review!

This was our second Guess Where Trip and we definitely enjoyed ourselves yet again! Love to start our trips with a great spot to have a treat and fuel up for a wonderful day ahead. Beautiful weather to enjoy the outdoors during our walk in nature. Plenty of sips to round out our day with some beautiful views! Love that we could pick our direction during stop 4, we will be going back and picking the ‘other direction’ another day and exploring some of the stops that were not open by doing the trip on a different day of the week.
We're so happy that you had a great time on your road trip! This is such a great summer day out, and we're so excited for you to visit the other options another time too. Thank you so much for your review!

We (and our dog) started out from Tilbury, so it took a bit longer to get to the first stop, but we spent time at all the dog-friendly stops and added a few we happened upon as well. All the places we chose were dog-friendly and each place was very welcoming to our four-footed girl. It's been quite a few years since we've travelled in this area and there are definitely some great gems to see and experience!! The hikes were beautiful and very relaxing. We had a great day and actually saw some deer!
We made our trip an overnight and talked about doing this one again with the addition of some of the extra places we noted, but didn't take the time to stop and explore. We want to give a shout out to O-Joe/The Rusty Nail in Strathroy - coffee roastery and brewery - where we stopped for a fresh-roasted coffee and snack.
We really like the fact that you can make these trips your own based on what you want to do/see the day you go...and then do it again, but differently, another time. We've got another waiting in the wings!!
We're so happy that you had a great time on your road trip, and definitely LOVE the idea of coming back and visiting some of the other options! So glad you had a great time out with your fur baby too :)
