Ho-hum

The lakes are beautiful but in my opinion it was too much time going place to place and not enough time to do anything. I would have preferred to have hiking or canoeing time instead of photo time It was a hohum experience in cramped van. Thanks to the driver for stopping to let me off at my hotel as we passed by so I didn't have a 20 min walk at the end.

Wonderful autumn lake colours

This was a lovely day trip to Couchiching, Algonquin and Muskoka areas. We had a great day and enjoyed the autumnal colours and sunny weather. Cindy Chen was welcoming, helpful and friendly - she kept us up to date via text when the traffic delayed the tour start, and then drove us safely to and from the destinations providing interesting commentary. It was a long day but Cindy Chen made it very enjoyable. Thank you!

Muskoka daytrip , huntsville, Algonquin park

Commuting was very comfortable , well organised n seamless . It’s a short trip but it covers all the beautiful lake in Gravenhurst. Algonquin park is breathtaking. So scenic and picturesque. Simply Amazing..

Blessed to have done this tour

Daniel, our driver, was amazing. My cousin and I were the only ones on the tour, so we had some time in the morning. Daniel was willing to drive us to IHOP for breakfast, and then to Splish Splash. We didn't have a set time to stay in the park; we just needed to leave before it closed. Daniel was kind enough to drop us off at our homes instead of the meetup spot, which was quite far from where we live. He is very welcoming and kind. I would definitely recommend Daniel.
