Lovely easy-going trip. It is a bit of driving but each stop was fun in its own way. Loved the little hike in the forest area and the bakeries. We enjoyed the recommended shops. We could have stayed longer exploring the towns.

Wonderful day Exploring

Even though it was a mystery trip it turned we had been to some of the places but found new things to see and learn.

We always love to hear this when travellers have a fabulous day exploring even if they come across places they've been to before. The surprise is the best part, and spending time with loved ones (even at familiar spots) is always a great way to spend a day. :) Thank you for your review!

Every stop was better than the last. Totally relaxing and a charm-filled day. What a wonderful surprise to visit the places where Schitt's Creek was filmed! I am a HUGE fan and was beyond trilled. I thought nothing could top that until we went to Port Perry. What a wonderful place. I would recommend that travellers go to both Uxbridge and Port Perry as both should not be missed. We initially were going to go to Old Flame Brewery for dinner but it was very loud and overcrowded and smelled very funny inside. The patio was not very pretty. We opted to go to Jester's and it was perfect! Charming, friendly, beautiful patio, wonderful service and great food. We will return for sure to Port Perry. It is only one hour and 15 minutes away from home but it felt like it was far away from our every day and a grand adventure. We purchased this tour at the One of a Kind show in November in Toronto but didn't go until July 12. For months I looked forward to the surprises and I was not disappointed. Thank you for a perfect day!

This is such a lovely review, thank you so much! We're so glad you had an amazing day out, and hopefully you'll try another one of our trips soon!
