Ken was amazing! As a PEI native he was able to also weave in family stories to further enrich the history of the island he was telling us about. Very engaging! Thanks Ken!
Carolyn was an absolutely wonderful knowledgeable guide. She shared a wealth of historical information that was very interesting. I would highly recommend this tour. It was excellent!
We had a great time on our tour! Our guide Ken was outstanding. A long time Islander, he was extremely knowledgeable about the history of PEI, had lots of personal stories that related to the tour. He was a fantastic story teller and really brought the history of the city to life. I appreciated his pace, his love of his province and city and how engaging he was. I would highly recommend this tour.

We had Ruth as our guide. She was very knowledgeable and informative. I’d recommend this tour - and then you can back track and see places she introduce on the tour.
We had a wonderful experience with our tour guide! Carolyn was very informative, engaging and knowledgable. We learned so much about Charlottetown and all of its charm thanks to her! The walk was a pleasant and quaint stroll around town at a very calm and leisurely pace.
Tour was really excellent; Ruth was very knowledgeable, amiable and considerate- we learned a lot and had a wonderful time. Highly recommended. The tour company was also extremely helpful in facilitating us joining a bit late after our ferry was delayed.
Great walking tour with friendly, knowledgeable guide! She created a wonderful atmosphere to ask questions. Ruth’s personal knowledge of PEI made it even better.
