Testimonials
"My husband and I took one of the Unexpected Journey's day trips last weekend and loved it!
It was the perfect self guided tour with just the right touch of mystery and surprise. Every place we stopped had some adventure or beautiful Instagram worthy sites to see.
Towards the end of each "secret stop" we couldn't wait to open the next envelope and head to our next destination. It was amazing!
If you live in the Ottawa area or have plans to visit Ottawa, I highly recommend booking an "Unexpected Journey"!"
