If you're looking for a fun way to explore your area with some guidance (but not an overbearing amount), buy a ticket to the Cecil/Harford County's Best Kept Secrets Tour. This isn't your average city tour. It runs from April 26th through May 12th, and during that time, you can explore the lineup of top-secret tour spots at your own pace.

You'll get a guide booklet that lays out all of the stops on the tour, a roster of unique local businesses that are off the beaten path. Although the exact locations will remain secret until you open your booklet, the list includes two local wineries, fashion boutiques, popular restaurants, and even historic homes. Your $10 ticket grants you access to each location, as well as special discounts when you buy something or dine at any of the establishments.
