Do this tour!! - We had a wonderful tour guide whose family has been on the island for generations. She was a gold mine of information. We learned so much more than we could’ve learned walking around on our own. I wish I would’ve taken this tour the first day I was in town so I would’ve known what to do on the second. I compared notes with people who took the food tour offered by the cruise ship and our food was much better! Instead of getting some ice cream, we had lobster rolls and oysters, etc.. Also, we did not have a group of 40; we had a group of eight, which is SO much better. I really enjoyed getting to know the other people in the group and our guide. Also loved the town.

Interesting historical food tour - Very interesting tour. Very knowledgable guide. I was happy with the information, the length of the tour and the food. For the price, I would’ve liked bigger portions.

Tour guide Ken & PEI food tour - This was a great tour. Ken was a historian and was interesting. His personal stories were informative and provided a good viewpoint on the region's history. However the rain he said was not going to come, CAME!!😊. He's no weatherman. It was a great tour and we enjoyed it. We would recommend Ken to anyone looking for a tour guide.

Carolyn did a fantastic job! - The tour was amazing. Our guide (Carolyn) gave a lot of details about the rich history of PEI and the origins of Canada’s Confederation, while walking to several points of interest. The food was fantastic. We really enjoyed it. NOTE: it is better to do this on the 1st day you are in Charlottetown, as you will know all the fantastic restaurants to go to!

Good mix of Island History, Culture and Cuisine - Awesome tour. Our guide Caroline was a wealth of historical knowledge. It was cool to learn that our country came to be after the provincial delegates drank too much so much so that they came to an agreement. Oh yeah, the food. A great taste of island cuisine. I read someone else’s review commenting that there was not enough food. It’s supposed to be a taste of island cuisine which it is. We ended up going back to one of our stops later in the day to grab dinner. If you are expecting to strap on a feed bag and get stuffed then find a buffet. If you are looking for some culture, history and a taste then you gotta take this tour.

Immerse Yourself In Charlottetown - We are so glad we took this tour! Charlottetown has so much history behind it and our guide made it especially nice with his personal touches about his experience living on PEI since childhood.
