Ken is a Knowledgeable friendly local guide with a great knowledge of history including personal family stories. Enjoyable nicely paced informative tour.
Excellent guide -Jamie Kelly. Knowledgeable, friendly and professional.
Ken was our guide and his family has been on the island for generations so he has great stories and fantastic knowledge to share. The first part was a lot of standing and listening to history, and I thought the whole thing was going to be in a few blocks, but then we got moving! We saw quite a lot of the town! The architecture is beautiful, the history is rich and interesting. Great tour!
Enjoyed the 2 hour tour of Charlottetown with Ken. He is a PEI native and brought a lot of his personal memories and experiences of growing up in PEI to his tour. Also provided broader information on PEI on its history and economy. Great tour and very informative.
Excellent guide. Very knowledgeable and personable. Told interesting stories.
Great information about Charlottetown PEI. Good stories and memorable time. Tour meeting area was easy to find and we stopped right in front of another place that we wanted to tour.
Valued, research by our guide. Learned other info, I had not achieved from another tour. The gent kept our interest.
Very good tour with a very knowledgeable local guide. Well worth the time and money. About 2-2.5 hours, walking through the town. Would recommend!
A relaxed walk through town led by guide Ken, a lifelong native of PEI. Ken had many interesting personal stories and experiences that he freely shared, allowing for questions. Would recommend this tour for anyone interested in an easy walk with a knowledgeable and personable guide.
Very informative guide about the history of Charlottetown, not much walking, would need a microphone to hear while continuing to walk with the explanations
