Fantastic walking tour if you want to know more about Charlottetown - We had an amazing tour with Joe. We walked all over Charlottetown for two hours. Joe was knowledgeable, entertaining and had many local stories to share, as his family has lived in P.E.I. for generations. Charlottetown is a lovely place and Joe made sure to share the best with us! This tour is highly recommended.

Great walking tour! - We really loved this tour. Two hours was just the right amount of time and Joe was a great guide! We loved hearing about his many Scottish cousins, including the one who was the lightkeeper in western PEI back in the day. Joe was very responsive to our questions and was able to answer them with a combination of hometown knowledge and, I'm guessing, a bit of history study. Also loved his restaurant suggestions. Would recommend this walking tour to all.

History and laughs - Joe has a wealth of knowledge on the history, culture, geography, and daily life of PEI and Charlottetown. At the same time he kept us laughing with his jokes and personal insights from growing up there.

You can do this tour on your own - A boring experience. My tour guide was Ho-Hum. The other visitors with me provided more interesting commentary than the guide. It was definitely not worth the money.

Horrible , une vraie catastrophe sur toute la ligne - Ce fut une catastrophe. Nous avons attendus plus de 45 minutes à l'endroit indiqué sur notre confirmation et personne ne s'est présenté et que dire du service lorsque l'on appelle Trip Advisor c'était une boite vocale et je n'ai reçu aucun appel de leur part simplement un courriel me disant qu'il allait me rembourser les frais. Ce fut une très mauvaise expérience car je voulais faire une surprise à a famille et de leur faire visité Charlottetown car ma famille vient de l'Alberta. Enfin je ne recommande aucunement ce trajet car il n'est vraiment pas fiable et aucune appel ou courriel avant l'Activité nous avons été laissé à nous même et nous n'avons pas pu trouver un autre guide car ils étaient tous pris et les tours guidés étaient tous plein. Que de mauvaise expérience cette journée la.
