Loved the trip and so much to do

Very much enjoyed this trip but simply could not finish everything in one go. We have now covered parts of this trip on three different day trips through the area and have to say that it was great. I had no idea the first stop existed but is now one of our go-to favorites in the fall.

One thing I will note is that many of the restaurant options are not available on Sunday, keep that in mind.

I could have planned this myself for free

The trip itself was great. Enjoyed the stops and all. You're getting a three star rating because I cannot believe we paid $75 for a bunch of photocopies of paper, on places we could have researched ourselves. I get that this is a novelty, but in the future, Guess Where Trips should consider enclosing a gift card with spending money that can be used at locations mentioned in the stops, as part of a partnership with the businesses. $75 for just a bunch of brochures and envelopes is a rip-off.

Decent but not amazing

Everything was there as described and we had a good time. The vistas were nice but there was a distinct lack of caves. Some of the restaurants were great and others were a bit lackluster. We had the most fun seeing the art gallary and just walking around.

Amazing family day!

Amazing time exploring places so close to home. Each stop had something for all of us to enjoy, we met so many friendly people. Even our dog had a great experience as she had lots of treats and pets. Even though the weather wasn’t the best we had an amazing time. We made a few stops of our own at some pottery places along the route. Would definitely recommend this to our friends.
