A great experience recommended for road trip and curiosity lovers. - My husband and I are newly canadian residents and fond of road trip, so when we saw this activity we were intrigued as it looked like a way for us to learn new things about our new home combined with our love with driving.
At first but weren't sure what it really was or if it wasn't even a scam seeing there is no review of the product, but we told ourselves that the price wasn't really high and that it could be a good surprise.
When you pay, you receive a code on your email address, you'll need to download the app Trivia Tours (it's free) and enter the code you've received in the trip you booked (here it is the Canada > Ontario > Wasaga). Then you need to download the trip and you're settled and ready to go. You just have to open the app and follow the map, the sound plays automatically when you approach a point of interest. The voice is supposed to be a robot, but you can't really tell, it's really pleasant to listen to!
It was overall a really fun activity, we discovered a lot of things and the trivia questions were really difficult to answer (and we love being challenged!) and they are not obligatory, you can just ignore it if you want.
You can pause when you want, which allowed us to goto Wasaga beach in the middle of the trip.
Overall, we do strongly recommend this activity if you love driving while learning and discovering new things, and they even have tours available in whole Canada, so we'll definitely try many of them in the future.
The only downside was when I left the application running in my phone in the background, it ended up being killed by my phone to save battery (I think) so I had to let my phone unlocked the whole time, but it was really minor so I won't remove any star for that little of a detail.

nice place - Wow! What an experience. It was my first time and it was great. The rides are amazing. But be prepared for long wait times for the really big ones but they are worth trying it out. My recommendation is to get the fast pass so you don't have to wait in line. However the food within wonderland is a bit expensive but I'm not surprised. All together, it was a great time and definitely worth going.

Navigation didn't work - It was informational.
A new experience.
However, the navigation part didn't seem to work.
Some of the cues were designed to work only in one direction (form Vaughan to Wasaga Beach), however, we were doing in from Wasaga Beach to Vaughan.
