Great Tour, Great Food, Great Guide! - We had an absolutely wonderful experience on this food and history tour! Our guide, Mark was born and raised in the area and brought a truly personal touch to the experience. He shared fascinating historical insights along with heartfelt anecdotes from his own life on PEI, which made the tour feel authentic, engaging, and memorable. The tour was well-paced, the food was delicious, and we got to sample some iconic PEI dishes at top local spots. It was clear that each stop was chosen with care, and Mark did a great job explaining the cultural significance behind each dish. By the end, we felt like honorary Islanders—just like they promised! Highly recommend this tour if you're looking for a fun, tasty, and informative way to explore PEI.

A great way to learn about PEI! - I enjoyed the focus on history and the local industries. Josh's personal history and experiences on the island made for a wonderful 3-hour adventure. I had the best lobster roll on the island!

Wonderful mix of food, culture and history - I really enjoyed my experience on this tour. Mark was a wonderful guide and I enjoyed getting to know him. The food on the tour was excellent and I realized how local, fresh seafood can really make a difference in the taste of things like mussels and oysters. I normally am not a fan of either of those, but I thoroughly enjoyed my samples. I also enjoyed learning of the history of Prince Edward Island and the role of the indigenous people in that history. Highly recommend.

History Tour with Food; Not Food Tour with History - Our guide was fabulous. His delivery was entertaining. Unfortunately, our tour began at 11am and our first taste was at 12:30. It was another hour until the next. Not the food tour to choose if you’re hungry.
