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!

From country to coast

It was my first experience on a guided tour! It was amazing, although a little confusing when you have to choose between 2 places! We did it , but we didn’t have enough time to do our 4th stop! We did it next week! I highly recommend for someone new in Ontario.

Thank you so much for leaving a review! We're so glad you enjoyed your first road trip experience with us, and glad you got to go back and visit some options that you missed the first time! :)

Thoroughly Enjoyed our First Experience

My husband and I are hooked. We loved our first Guess Where Trip. The only negative we experienced was the 3rd stop. When you open the 2nd envelope it suggests getting on the wait list for the 3rd stop, however, we tried and could only book for end of day and based on the timeline, you end up there closer to lunch. Their website, suggests booking 3 weeks out. We ended up opening the 4th envelope to see if we could switch the stops, but it did not work with our schedules. We did get lucky as I called and they fit us in, but I sure there were groups after us that could turned away.

Thank you so much for leaving a review and providing feedback. You're right that one of the options on stop #3 is very popular in the summer, but we know they always do their best to fit in our Guess Where Trippers whenever they can! There are two other fabulous options on stop 3 to choose from as well, but we're so glad you were able to get in and enjoy the rest of the road trip. Thank you for your continued support!

Great One Day Trip of Fun & Sun

Enjoyed this one-day excursion immensely. From the tasty treats to the roaring waterfalls and beautiful beach. Topping the trip off with a yummy pizza and wonderful glass of wine.
I would suggest, if time permitted, to stop in at the Lambton Heritage Museum. This place is full of wonders from the past.

We're so happy to hear that you had a great day of adventuring! :) Thank you so much for leaving a review!
