We went in October as the guide said April-October but our party agreed it would be much better for most of the stops in the summer. Stop 1 was pretty, food and beverages were alright but nothing special. Stop 2 we’d been to nearby locations but was nice to explore more in depth. We did 3/4 options and they were all nice although 2 were very quick. Stop 3 was confusing with minimal direction on where to go. Once we figured out where to go it was very pretty but definitely rocky. We didn’t do the optional part of this based on other reviews. Stop 4 was a bust. The places offered didn’t have many options to suit some of our parties food requirements (vegetarian, vegan) and one of the options was fully closed. Ended up choosing a random place in town for a snack and then eating once we got home, which was a disappointment. We did do the optional activity and it was fun, although not as much to do there as we thought. Overall it was an okay day, fun to do once maybe but I’m not sure if I’ll bother with another GWT anytime soon.

My husband Ireally enjoyed this gift. We loved the cafe at the first stop and also got some nice pictures. We did all 4 suggestions on the second stop and ran out of time to complete the 3rd and 4th stop so we saved them to have another adventure two weeks later. The hike was great but glad we had brought walking sticks to reach the top as it is very rocky. The Sucerie was pretty but a bust in September, nothing going on there. We enjoyed the other stops and really appreciated the overal experience !! The not knowing where you will go was lots of fun. The package was well prepared and organized. Makes a great gift :-)
We love that you turned this into an adventure over two different days and got to take in all of the options! :) We're so glad you enjoyed your days of exploring, and hope you'll try another Guess Where Trip sometime soon!

It was a nice tour around an area we've been to previously but hadn't really explored in any sort of depth and not for a long time. We didn't have enough time to do everything so we've left the 4th stop for another time.
Thanks so much for taking the time to leave a review for Hidden Hideaways. We're happy to hear that you enjoyed your tour and were able to discover new places in an area you've been to before. Definitely save your envelopes and check out that 4th stop another time!

We thoroughly enjoyed this driving excursion. The four stops were varied and offered good option choices. There was only one stop that was disappointing where you
should not go during the summer months as it is poorly staffed and that is Le Sucrerie.
Thank you so much for your feedback and for leaving a review. :) We're so glad you enjoyed your road trip!
