Itinerary

STOP 1

Start your day in a town by the river. Grab a coffee and explore a few shops set in a historic mill from the 1800s. Drive time to the second stop is 13 minutes.

STOP 2

It’s time to stretch your legs! Here, we recommend two trails of varying lengths. One even lets you feed chickadees out of your hand. Drive time to the third stop is 5 minutes.

STOP 3

Up next? A farm distillery, brewery & restaurant all in one. If you're not in the mood, we recommend a funky country market instead. Drive time to the fourth stop is 15 minutes.

STOP 4

Choose between a couple of breweries, a riverside stroll with a connection to Hollywood, a gorgeous historic spot, or a farm for local goodies and furry friends.

Beautiful day

Love the idea of these. We were a little disappointed as the trip was called Riverside Roaming and the only stop that was on/near a river was the first one but other than that it was a beautiful day.

Riverside Roaming day trip

Since the first time I discovered Guess Where Trip, I have been impressed. Riverside Roaming is my third purchase, and I have nothing but praise for this service. From the impeccable customer service to the final product you deliver, everything has been outstanding. I loved the towns we visited on this itinerary and appreciated the charming places you recommended along the way, especially the coffee shop with a beautiful view in the first city we explored. I highly recommend this experience and can’t wait to embark on another adventure with Guess Where Trip!

You are so sweet, thank you!!

Riverside RAoaming

My Daughter and I did this road trip a few weekends ago and we quite enjoyed it! We were lucky and had the perfect day to stroll thru the beautiful towns, one in which we had never been too surprisingly! I think my favorite stop was the café at the beginning of the trip, unique and delicious!
