This was an amazing tour. We had 8 in our group. We got to see the town, the countryside and Anne of Green Gables' house. It included a stop at a jam store which had excellent jam and teas and was very picturesque. Charlotte was our guide and did a fantastic job. We are so glad we were with just our group and also that we didn't do a walking tour instead. Best way to see the island.

I would recommend a tour by this company. They are licensed and knowledgeable about PEI, Charlottetown, area, etc. Blaine was our driver. He was great! All transactions were smooth on this private tour of 6 with adult family members. I didn't know where exactly to meet him after getting off the ship. However, I called the number and within seconds he found us. I definitely recommend.

We booked this as an independent shore excursion for a private group of 4 people. Paul was our driver and he was on time waiting as communicated. Van was clean and Paul was passionate about PEI and what we would see. He planned the itinerary to avoid tour buses and gave us plenty of time to see the sights. Very good experience and we would highly recommend Paul for any tour on PEI.

Well narrated on the bus and the guide was knowledgeable about the island. This was a shore excursion tour for us and we allowed plenty of time to get to the meeting point at Founders' Hall. At the desk in the building we were re-directed to go back to the pier , so we hot footed it back, only to be told, no we needed to be at Founder's Hall, where we originally were. Then pat way through the tour, the guide thought we were missing 2 people when we re-boarded the bus so we waited about 15 minutes only to find out they had mis-counted the group at the beginning. Having seen many old houses, the Green Gables house wasn't too interesting. We would have preferred to skip the jam factory where there were a total of 3 bus loads packed in there. If we were to do it again, I would opt for a scenic drive. Maybe we just picked the wrong trip.
