Charlottestown In A Brisk Walk - Enjoyed the tour. Guide was knowledgeable and engaging. There were several competing groups in town and we managed to navigate around them. Good value.

Charolettetown hidden wonders - I was the only one in the tour and the guide went over and above in showing me Charolettetown. Highly recommend this tour to learn about its beginnings to this day and age.

It touched our hearts - Our guide brought Charlotte town to life for us, giving us the opportunity to understand and identify the different types of architecture in the area, and the history that goes along with it. Everything about this area was so special and touched our hearts …thanks to our guide Shallow town was an experience we will always remember.

Great tour - Tatiana was wonderful! Very knowledgeable! She was very caring and careful with the two elderly women I brought with me, one of whom was in a wheelchair. We enjoyed it very much

Disappointing tour - We loved Charlottetown and can't wait to visit again, but this tour was not a good use of our time. Our guide had a wonderful personality, but she was a "substitute" from another province and knew far less about the city than we did even though it was only our 3rd day there. Everything she told us we had already read from the plaques and signs that were posted and she was not able to answer even our most basic questions. I'm sure she would be an excellent guide in a city she is familiar with. We felt that the tour should have been cancelled or not offered to begin with if a properly prepared guide was not available.

Wasted an hour of my life... - Guide didn't really know very much about Charlottetown at all. She was from Toronto and was shipped in to cover, so it probably wasn't entirely her fault However, the tour basically finished after an hour at the park and then those that wanted to stay a the park left the tour and the rest of us just followed back to the starting point. This was the first of two tours on our cruise with this company (Trip Shepherd) - the second was terrible too. Could have learned more from Google!
