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.

I was expecting much more very disappointed
Fantastic tour, it was just nice to see more of the island as the drive is decently far. The guide provided fantastic information during the drive. The green gables house itself was decent.
Have A Great Day And Have Fun With Everyone And Enjoy Your Time With The Different Sites You Visit On This Journey
Thank you for your comments on our Green Gables House and Our Island Experience. We hope you enjoyed your trip to beautiful Prince Edward Island and look forward to your next visit.
A lot of driving but great scenery and information about the island. Only snacks at Green Gables house so if you take a tour over lunch time as we did be aware. I do have to highly recommend the beaver’s tail pastry (maple of course) at the coffee shop onsite. 3,000 people go through the house every day during the summer so there’s not a lot of time to check out each of the rooms as you are in a line. The additional stops were at a beach to see the red cliffs, a stay on the bus stop to see a lobster cage and learn about the lobster industry, and a stop at a jelly store to sample jellies and peruse what they have for sale. I would have rather stopped someplace scenic. All in all a very informative trip but because of the hour long drive from Charlottetown to Green Gables, not much time for more stops and keep it in four hours for the cruise guests who were on the bus.
Thank you for your comments on our Green Gables and Our Island Experience. We do try and keep our timing at individual stops to accommodate each one of our passengers. We hope to see you again on Prince Edward Island.
This was an excellent tour! Comfortable bus with big windows. We stopped several times along the way and saw more than we expected. Our tour guide was excellent, we learned so much about PEI beyond the stops we made. Our only issue was we could have used another half hour at Green Gables.
Thank you for your comments on our Green Gables and Island Experience. We do try and manage our times at stops to adhere to our predetermined schedule. We look forward your next visit to PEI.
Enjoyed touring with a small group (10) for this trip. Our guide had terrific local knowledge and was both informative and entertaining. Unfortunately the audio equipment was very scratchy for the start so we missed the commentary. The driver changed her headset. There was some improvement but it was still a bit tricky. The tour covers a very interesting variety of places. Loved the Anne of Green Gables house, gardens and information. An enjoysblev4 hours.

Wonderful tour and interesting facts about Prince Edward Island.
We appreciate your positive review of our tour and look forward to your next visit.
the tour was nice and informative. The driver Mike gave us a lot of information about the City history and landmarks. We rode to the site of Anne of Green Gables and on the way back stop at a few historic look out. Overall was please with the tour.
Thank you for your positive comments on our City and Anne of Green Gables tour. We look forward to seeing you again on Prince Edward Island
Lovely tour, our tour guide (I believe her name is Marie Lee) kept us engaged with lots of good information and jokes. She saw that we are travelling with two young boys so she came to our seats and gave them each a pack of sour patch kids candies, so thoughtful of her. Great way to see the Green Gable house and tour of surrounding areas. I really enjoyed the info she gave us about the lobster fishing industry. She also told us about the 60feet salad bar at the Fisherman’s Wharf Lobster Supper, we came back the next day on our own after a beach day at Cavendish Beach.
We appreciate your positive reviews on our Green Gables House and Island Experience tour. We look forward to seeing you again on Prince Edward Island
