Walking Tour of Charlottetown - Joe MacDonald was the perfect guide as he shared both historical and personal notes throughout the tour. We tend to enjoy exploring a new city on our own but would have missed out on many interesting facts and stops along the way. Beautiful morning in a lovely city!

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.
