Tour of Charlottetown - This is a short tour compared to some of the others I have been on but just what I was expecting for one hour, a drive thru downtown, and a visit to local neighborhoods, we saw the important sights, tour guide was friendly and knowledgeable

Nice short excursion - This was a last minute booking and it was just as expected. Our guide was full of all kinds of information, very detail and entertaining. It was the perfect amount of time and a good ride to show you around and familiarize yourself with the area. Definitely recommend.

Missed cruise stop - Our ship had to skip this port because of bad weather. I just wanted to say how I appreciate that our fees were refunded. It makes it less risky to book excursions with local tours if you know that you will be refunded if the port stop is cancelled for weather. I was so disappointed to miss it and hope to come and take the tour another time.

Quality tour operators - Sadly, our ship failed to make port, so we didn’t get to enjoy this trip. I will say, however, the tour operator kindly refunded our money, and we are grateful for their speedy response!

Nice visit - A nice inexpensive tour of the Charlottetown area. We had a great driver (Dean) with a sense of humour. Yappy people on the top deck made it hard to hear the commentary. But I would recommend this, especially for a ship excursion.

Enjoyable - We enjoyed the tour. The driver was very good. It gave us a nice overview of the city and then we had time to venture out for lunch and head downtown to peruse the shops.

City Tour of Charlottetown - Nice tour of the town. Good information on the history of Canada and Charlottetown. I was concerned that there was no mention of the Indigenous presence in PEI prior to contact. The guide said that the island was "uninhabited" until the Europeans arrived. This is an antiquated view. People would be interested in the history of the indigenous people in the region.

A good way to see Charlottetown - The tour & driver of the bus was excellent. The bus itself was old and it kept jerking on route. This at times was uncomfortable. Maybe a newer bus for the tour.
