Custom Itinerary Planning for Your Ontario Adventure
Feeling Overwhelmed Planning Your Ontario Trip?
Ontario is vast, diverse, and full of hidden gems—but planning the perfect trip here can feel like a lot. Whether you’re dreaming of an unforgettable road trip, exploring charming small towns, or diving into Ontario’s natural beauty, I’m here to make it simple for you.
With my Custom Itinerary Planning Service, I take the guesswork out of planning and design the perfect trip based on your unique interests, travel style, and budget. As a certified local tour guide and Ontario native, I’ll ensure you get an itinerary that blends must-see highlights with authentic, off-the-beaten-path experiences.
Do you hate doing travel research, or just don’t have the time?
Especially for an area you are not familiar with, research can take hours, but it is essential so that you don’t miss out on amazing experiences on your trip simply because you didn’t know it was there!
Staring at a map of Ontario and realizing it’s bigger than France and Germany combined can be daunting. Where do you even begin?
- Are you searching for the best road trip routes, hidden gems, a deep dive into a city, or authentic experiences that only a local can reveal?
- Feeling overwhelmed by logistics in an unfamiliar area?
- Not sure how to craft an itinerary that makes the most of your time?
Let me take the stress out of your planning with a personalized, custom itinerary.
I’ll provide tailored recommendations for places to go, stay, and eat to help you feel confident and excited to explore Ontario. Whether you’re planning a family vacation, a romantic getaway, or a solo adventure, your itinerary will have a plan that feels just right for you.
Why Choose Pamela, Your Guide to Ontario
If you want local knowledge from an (almost stereotypical) Canadian local, that’s me!
I was born and raised in the forests of Ontario, which I still proudly call home. My dad’s family has been in Canada since the American Revolution, and my mom’s family has lived in the area where I grew up since the 1860s.
With deep roots in Ontario, I have a strong love for our history and culture, and I’m excited to share it with you.
I Understand Your Travel Challenges
I’m a traveler like you! My adventures have taken me across the globe — from Greece and Egypt to Australia and New Zealand. I’ve even lived in England for a few years and completed a summer exchange in France. I share your love for adventure, learning, and meeting new people.
But I also understand the challenges of planning dream trips on a budget. The overwhelming amount of research, the stress of avoiding tourist traps, and the uncertainty of finding hidden gems in an unfamiliar place can feel daunting.
That’s why I’m here to help. When you plan your visit to my home province, Ontario, I want it to be as stress-free and rewarding as possible. My goal is to help you uncover the beauty of Ontario and love it as much as I do!

FAQs
What if I have a specific theme or interest (e.g., food, nature, history)? Can you tailor it to that?
Absolutely! In fact, the more you are able to tell me what you want, the more precise I can be and the happier you will be with my recommendations.
What is Thatch? And why do you go through them?
Thatch is an amazing company that has developed an app and website to help travel creators (like Guide To Ontario) deliver high-quality guides and itineraries with interactive maps, notes and voice notes from the creator, and all the information you need for your trip. Thatch’s interactive map, connected to your itinerary, is my favourite feature and adds a super cool, useful tool to your trip.
Guide To Ontario uses Thatch to provide detailed, industry-leading custom itineraries to travellers, as well as consultation calls and pre-made itineraries.
How do I access my custom itinerary after purchasing it?
You will access it through Thatch, a professional travel website and app. You can create a free personal account, save your custom itinerary to your library and take it wherever you go!
Can you book the hotels or tours that you recommend for me?
No, I am not a certified travel agent. I provide local knowledge and research services, including hotel and tour recommendations.
Do you really know all of Ontario?
Of course not, it’s massive! However, I have been to more places in Ontario than most people, I have lived here most of my life, I’ve been a professional tour guide here, and what I don’t know, I will research for you – I am an expert trip planner.
