Historic Walking Tour of Charlottetown
Description
Being an Islander all my life, with my family having deep roots here, you will not only learn about the history and geography of Charlottetown and the Island as we walk through the historic streets but also hear many personal anecdotes. Some of these will be about the history of the Kelly family while others will be will be more personal. Whether your from here or from away I think you will leave with a deeper appreciation of the place I call home.

This was a great walking tour with lots of great information about the city. Jaime is very knowledgeable and friendly with lots of good stories. We enjoyed it a lot and definitely recommend!
Our tour guide Jaime is a fifth generation local resident and very knowledgeable about the area. This walking tour requires traversing approximately 4 to 5 kilometers on mostly level roads. The walk included short visits to several houses of worship as well as visiting buildings memorializing the confederation meeting of 1864. The tour is definitely worthwhile.
A really good walking tour with lots of local and historic information provided - I would recommend this .
We loved this walking tour! It was a great way to see Charlottetown and Jamie was an excellent tour guide. Highly recommend!
Jamie was fantastic. He is knowledgeable, friendly and very professional. I highly recommend this tour. A wonderful experience and great introduction to Charlottetown
Jamie was excellent. I was in Charlottetown for a conference, I have been before but decided to do this guided tour. Walking the streets solo you don't learn the history. I have a new appreciation of PEI. I learned many fun facts about Charlottetown, out tour guide Jamie is a wonderful spokesperson for Charlottetown, and the tour group was a great group of individuals. Well worth it! Thank you.

A very good tour with lots of info and it's not too strenuous. I wish I could remember our guide's name because he did a really good job.
Jamie was welcoming, knowledgeable and a good story teller. We very much enjoyed the walk and his explanations.
It was fun and no one else showed up so we got a private four.
Great overview of history and town of Charlottetown. Interesting tour guide with lots of personal tips and recommendations
