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.

We thoroughly enjoyed our walking tour of Charlottetown. Our guide Jamie was outstanding. He is a life long resident and enjoys sharing his hometown with visitors. Jamie made the tour both fun and informative. Being the only ones on the tour he tailored it to us and we were able to ask many questions.
Jamie was a great guide who has lived on the island his whole life. Gives many interesting historical and current facts in an entertaining way. Helped make our PEI visit enjoyable!
Jamie was so friendly and very knowledgeable about the history in PEI and Canada. I’m Canadian and I even learned some things! It was the perfect size group, and we enjoyed the pace. Thanks for everything Jamie!
Very informative and well done. Highly recommend this tour to start your visit to Charlottetown. Time well spent.
Jaime was a fantastic guide. We really enjoyed learning about the island. It was very easy to find the starting point which was very close to the cruise ship pier. I highly recommend this tour!
Jamie is an excellent tour escort with a great depth of knowledge. As a well-spoken, educated local going back several generations, he shared his depth of information, insight and understanding. The tour of the central historic district was well paced and easy to manage. Having asked what our lans were for the balance of our 6 day stay, he put his information into context with references to what we would see the following day when we went on a drive tour outside of Charlottetown. This made the two tours/days super-interesting. I completely recommend this tour and Jamie to others for an outstanding insight into historic Charlottetown.
Our guide was Jamie Kelly and he was great! Highly recommend.
Jamie is a wonderful professional tour operator. His prompt communications to my email queries and his personal attention to detail warrants exceptional praise. I would unreservedly recommend Jamie and Walk the Walk tours when in Charlottetown, PEI.
Great 2 hour tour of Charlottetown! Jamie Kelly was a great tour guide with lots of local knowledge and information.
Very interesting walking tour of the city of Charlottetown, discovering its various historical monuments. The tour lasts about 2 hours. The guide passionately shares historical facts and anecdotes about the city. Nevertheless, it is a shame not to have the time to visit the churches or historical houses when they are accessible to the public. An excellent way to discover Charlottetown. I recommend it without hesitation!
