I took my friend who was visiting from BC in August to explore “Secrets of the South” as a nice way for us to get away, laugh, see new places and enjoy something different. We invited a third friend and made a very full day out of it! We left Niagara at 8:30am and returned at 10:00pm! This was my second Guess Where day trip and I enjoyed it as much as the first. There are plenty of choices at each location, from hikes, to shops, to parks, beaches, farms, markets, wineries and more! Stops are relatively close together. The drive is scenic and the music is fun! It is helpful to bring a roadmap with you as in some areas, I only have one bar and my GPS wouldn’t connect. Also, recommend bug spray if you plan on walking trails. We all thoroughly enjoyed the day and visiting new places. A nice variety of things to see and do.
Thank you so much for taking the time to leave such a kind review! We are thrilled to hear that you and your friends had a great time on your road trip and that it was a wonderful getaway for all of you. We appreciate your recommendation of bringing a roadmap and bug spray - those are definitely helpful tips for future guests. We can't wait for you to try your third Guess Where Trip sometime soon!

We had a perfect weather wednesday day and myself and 3 friends had a great time. I would suggest Thursday as one stop was open Thurs - Sat I believe but then if you go at the right time one event was special on Wed

The first stop was charming! Enjoyed some of the little shopping stops. The little village and the winery were quite small but enjoyable. The final stop was a bit underwhelming but we had a drink on the patio of a restaurant before heading home.
Thank you for taking the time to leave a review! We are happy to hear that you enjoyed your day overall! We appreciate your feedback and hope you'll try one of our road trips out again soon. :)

We really enjoyed this trip. We stayed at a recommended stop at the end and took our trip on a Monday/Tuesday as this was the only time my daughter had free from work. After emailing with Guess Where Trips we were assured that these days would be great. A few things were closed, but we had so many other options! We so enjoyed the variety of activities. We had a lovely day weather-wise so the outdoor stops (hikes) were lovely. We’ve already chosen another to do!
We're so glad that you enjoyed your mother/daughter getaway! :) That sound so lovely! Thank you for leaving a review!
