Took this during the winter time when a lot of places were covered in snow. Will definitely go again sometime. Hopefully to see places that I missed the first time due to road conditions.

Overall, it was a great trip with plenty of activities and sights to enjoy. I’d definitely recommend making it a two-day trip if you’re traveling from far away—it’s almost a three-hour drive each way from our home. We stopped at all the recommended spots and especially loved the fourth one!
Cons:
• I wish some of the spots felt more “hidden” or unique. Half of the locations were already well-known to us, so it wasn’t as adventurous as we hoped.
• The food options were limited, and there weren’t any updates on what to expect. One of the restaurants we visited wasn’t great—the food was undercooked and didn’t taste good, even though we ordered the recommended dishes.
Overall, it was a great experience, but there’s room for improvement in certain areas.

We had a beautiful 3 day adventure. We made our own reservations for a Muskoka River cruise. The cruise was well run and weather was sunny and warm. We had 2 highlights on Guess Where's suggestions - discovering the haunted hotel and enjoying an adventure outside and discovering weird types of artwork. This latter adventure is not too accessible,. - I had a walker and it was exhausting. The search for various wall art was too difficult in a car - there was a great deal of traffic in town and it was raining. We enjoyed some of the dining suggestions, but again, the towns were so busy and the restaurants were filled. It was a very enjoyable trip, but, for us, we wouldn't be able to do it in one day. Staying at a B&B was excellent and relaxing.

This was a gift for my Mom, we did it yesterday. It was a fabulous day. Many places I would have never been to or heard about otherwise.
Thank you so much.
Wish there were more around Peterborough area.
