Green Gables House & Our Island Experience
Description
Discover “the fairest land ‘tis possible to see” on our Green Gables Shore half-day tour from Charlottetown. This is the quaint, historic region of Prince Edward Island that inspired L.M. Montgomery’s classic 1908 novel ‘Anne of Green Gables.’ You will see rolling hills of farmland, sandy beaches and sandstone cliffs. Tour the popular Prince Edward Island National Park and Green Gables Heritage House with a knowledgeable guide, visit a fishing harbour, pass by oyster and mussels farms, then stop at the Prince Edward Island Preserve Company with artisan preserves, fine teas and giftware. You will return to Charlottetown within 4 hours, leaving you time to explore the compact, walkable downtown on your own.

Great excursion to be able to get to know about the island highlights and spend an hour at the Green Gables house. We had time to walk through the house and walk on the trails. We also learned about the local lobster and mussel fishing industry. A stop at a local jelly maker and a quick beach stop. Great tour and a great guide (Cindy).

We very much enjoyed the Green Gables and Our Island Experience. We saw the Green Gables for the first time and enjoyed the grounds as well as the stops in New Stockholm, North Rustico and the PEI National Park. Maura Lee was a great tour guide. She was very knowledgeable and enjoyed her descriptions of the history but also the little things such as pointing out lupines and talking about the industries of PEI (potatoes, seafood, etc). We recommend this trip as a nice half day tour of PEI.

The 4 hours flew by. We enjoyed the whole tour. The tour guide was excellent (sorry I don’t remember her name). She gave great information on the history of PEI and shared additional stories as well. Anne of Green Gables tour was an hour long and it was just the right amount to explore the house and surrounding areas.
Thank you for your positive comments on our Green Gables and Island Experience tour. We look forward to seeing you again.
It was really good. Cindy did a wonderful job as the tour guide. Very well organized. I am happy I went.

This was such a great excursion! The little preserves shop stop was great. I recommend taking a few minutes to walk out into their garden area, too, if you can. It was so quiet and pretty along the river. The Green Gables house was a dream come true! We could have easily spent more time there, but enjoyed it greatly all the same. There were no other tour buses there that day, and I recommend taking the full Lover’s Lane walk if you have the time and weather permits. We also enjoyed stopping to learn how lobster catching works and seeing the fishing wharf while also getting to do some quick stops to see the beach at Cavendish and a view of the area just before you would get to the Cabot Trail. Also, HUGE shout out to our tour guide Cindy! She was incredibly informative and interesting to listen to. We learned so much about Prince Edward Island, from its education to its history to its fishing economy and so much more! She even did a fun little trivia game on the bus at the end. Don’t miss out on this one!
We appreciate your positive comments on our Green Gables and Island Experience tour. We hope to see you again.
PEI (Prince Edward Island) is a small island but we were glad to take the tour. Hadn't read the book, but do know that this is NOT the house the author grew up in, but was still quite old and a good representative of the time depicted.
Thank you for choosing Prince Edward Tours. We look forward to your next visit to Prince Edward Island
