Lovely walking tour! - Olena was just lovely. She led four seniors around the city with grace and patience. She is knowledgeable and so friendly. We had our dog with us and Olena was friendly toward her, too. We had a fabulous time. This was our first time to PEI and we will definitely return.

Great walking tour! - Grace led a wonderful walking tour of Charlottetown for my Wife and me in early August. We lucked out in it just being the two of us (9am tour) and so peppered Grace with an enormous number of questions which Grace answered thoughtfully and with a facility and knowledge of Charlottetown, PEI, and Canadian history that was very helpful. This was an excellent way to start our stay in PEI and we can't recommend Grace enough.

Charlottown walking tour - Great info about city history, and we appreciated Sam's insights about events, food options, and building architecture. The Ekhardt mouse statues were a delight. Loved the book store!
