Must-do tour of PEI - Our Best of PEI tour with See Sight Tours was everything we could have hoped for. Holly was a terrific guide! She was knowledgeable and personable, giving us some inside information about the island. Holly was also an excellent driver. She even got out of the car and took some pictures for me so I didn’t have to get out. Great pictures I might add! She made sure we got to see and do the things we especially wanted to see and do, not just make us stick to a specific schedule. The tour and Holly were both great! I highly recommend!

Wonderful walking tour! - We learned so much about this beautiful and historic place. Our guide could not have been any better, he was knowledgeable, friendly and kind. Extra bonus was that he has a role in a local community theater production that we are lucky enough to see while we’re here. Thoroughly enjoyed the adventure!

Charlottetown Small group tour review. - Unfortunately, this was not as advertised. The guide, although nice and polite, was a recent college grad, not from PEI and not a history professor or a comedian. He knew little about Charlottetown and PEI. I knew more history than he did from my first two days just reading history markers. We still were able to enjoy the tour and it was a nice walk around the city. The emailed instructions for the meeting place were for Niagara Falls, NY, which caused us some confusion.

Overpriced. - Walking through Charlottetown was a wonderful experience. I did enjoy it- it would be hard not to as it was a gorgeous day and Charlottetown is beautiful- but our guide, while a lovely person, did not seem as knowledgeable as I would expect and I often had trouble hearing her. (I am not deaf.) The cost of this walking tour was twice that of others and I certainly could not see the benefit in this at all.

Lovely and walkable town. Tour guide a novice. - We were paired with Annalise who was very new to this role (like, we were her first group ever). She was a lovely and cheerful young lady but lacked the knowledge and training necessary for this role.

Unpleasant excursion - Walked group at a VERY rapid pace. Unable to hear guide most of the time. Unable to see much since much time was looking at broken roads and sidewalks to prevent falling since walking at rapid pace. This was by far one of the poorest excursions ever!
