A+ experience - We thoroughly enjoyed our walking tour of Charlottetown. Our guide Jamie was outstanding. He is a life long resident and enjoys sharing his hometown with visitors. Jamie made the tour both fun and informative. Being the only ones on the tour he tailored it to us and we were able to ask many questions.

A great tour with an educated, well-spoken local. - Jamie is an excellent tour escort with a great depth of knowledge. As a well-spoken, educated local going back several generations, he shared his depth of information, insight and understanding. The tour of the central historic district was well paced and easy to manage. Having asked what our lans were for the balance of our 6 day stay, he put his information into context with references to what we would see the following day when we went on a drive tour outside of Charlottetown. This made the two tours/days super-interesting. I completely recommend this tour and Jamie to others for an outstanding insight into historic Charlottetown.
