A great way to see so much of the island. - This was a very informative trip. Would be great for families who want to do a lot of exploring. It was helpful to hear when their were breaks
One suggestion. We are actually staying right in the middle of the tour. In advance, I would have loved the option to start the tour in the middle (we’re staying in Stanhope). We drove 40 minutes to start a tour, do drive 40 minutes back. That’s just a suggestion, not a criticism.

Great way to see PEI on your own schedule - The guide took us on a lovely road trip with interesting information and stories. We thoroughly enjoyed the route and had a lovely time. There were a few side stops for food and souvenirs that weren’t open for the season, but all in all it was extremely well done and enjoyable.

Good tour - Great tour. We enjoyed the audio tour of PEI. The only problem was uploading the program on our phone. Once this was accomplished, it was great.

Good overview of PEI - We wanted to learn more about the Northern Shores area of PEI and listened to Josh’s commentary without following all of the driving directions. This was a nice option. Josh was very informative, although difficult to follow at times due to his accent and diction.

Overall enjoyable but needs improvements. - Highlights- wonderful insight, information about the area.
Needs improvement- the speaker while speaking, paused( that could be rerecorded), didn’t enunciate so that his voice was audible/understandable.

Major disappointment! - Despite the assistance of a wonderful and persistent young woman at the Charlottetown information, we were unable to get the App or the entry code, which was "cut and pasted" into the correct spot, to work. She spent a good half hour with us trying to send us on our with the help of the self guided tour, as she had done for other prior travellers.
