Don and Melody Rader who participated in a customized hiking package

"I thoroughly enjoyed the Green Mantle Farm tour. A wonderful learning experience that is once in a lifetime. The tour guide was entertaining and informative. The meal at the end of the tour was excellent with wonderful hosts. The tour to the Harburn Wells was again a wonderful experience. The site is amazing and the guides were excellent."

"Cass Marie's 'rock' concert was unplugged, intimate, and interactive - very cool to have such a personal concert - they both have a really nice, friendly, open manner about them."

Ruth Tait, Haliburton Rocks participant

"I really enjoyed the entire experience. The group was great. I enjoyed the challenge for the ride. I enjoyed the snacks, lunch, service on actual plates, the wine glasses and the local wine. I appreciated the effort/thoughtfulness of having a tent set up. All of the artisans were very receptive and welcoming and I enjoyed listening to their stories."

Suzanne Haedicke, Pedal Yours Arts participant

"Mike's colourful, living history approach to the Fur Trade was captivating, and the cabin was a great winter hike destination. I particularly loved the blend of rugged outdoors, insightful, informative presentation, original music intimately presented, great food, and warm, hospitable accommodation. It's the packaging itself that makes it such a great experience."

Laura Windsor, Walk into Winter participant

"I must admit when I was first approached with the offer I was somewhat hesitant but having signed on and participated in the project I can honestly say it was a wonderful two days. The outdoor activities were invigorating and educational, meals and accommodation were excellent, the expertise of the leaders and speakers was amazing. The packages are very attractive."

Marc Silnicki, Walk into Winter participant

"I usually prefer Inns to B&B's but Jessie and Don are so adept at running their establishment (which is, of course, the perfect place for this experience) that 'accommodation' underscored the pleasure of all the experiences. Every detail of the Stouffer Mill experience is perfect - rooms pretty and comfortable, amenities far above average, food excellent and beautifully served, setting divine!"

Marylou Eaton, Walk into Winter participant

"I enjoyed every part of the tour, especially the Glassblowing, it was a great experience for me. The Inukshuk was a great place to stay, Brian and Dorothy are great hosts. I liked the personal, homelike atmosphere of the whole tour. It was amazing to not only experience the artwork of the people but also see how they live and listen to their stories. This made it very special to me. The overall organization was great - very detailed and always on topic, 'Some like it Hot'. The food was excellent all time!"

Anne Rumohr, Some like it Hot participant

"Overall this has been my favourite package. Well done!"

Tegan Moratz, Some like it Hot participant

"The entire tour was very enjoyable. The group activity making the tortiere was great fun and a good way to get to know everyone in the group. The lunch was very tasty, plentiful and very well presented. The product sampling was yummy and the product information was interesting. The walk in the woods was a delight. The interpretation was great, the scenery beautiful and the atmosphere peaceful. It was fun to taste the edible wild plants and better appreciate what nature has to offer. Rick and Barrie's knowledge and appreciation of nature was most evident. They have a very easy manner and obviously enjoy leading group activities. The pace of the walk was relaxing with adequate time to appreciate our surroundings."

Gail Fulton, Tastes of Haliburton participant

"It was amazing to be able to visit such interesting places without having to travel a great distance between stops. We were never bored and we seemed to be at each stop for just the right period of time. The group was well taken care of -----bug spray and bug jackets available, a cold drink after the walk in the woods."

Connie Simpson, Tastes of Haliburton participant

"Scott and I had a great time on our bike tour. Sean is very knowledgeable about the area and made the trip very interesting and fun. All the artists do beautiful work and were happy to show us their craft. The catered lunch at the museum was delicious. I've been telling all our friends about it and our kids want to come next time! Thanks for a unique adventure!"
