It was interesting and... - It was interesting and enjoyable. Tour guide’s father filled in for him. And we got an added generation of PEI local’s perspective, knowledge and anecdotes.

- Mia provided a lovely introduction to Charlottetown, PEI. It was a small group and we walked through the town at a comfortable pace. At the end of the tour, Mia shared helpful information about places we could visit.

1st Time in Charlottetown - We only had one full day in Charlottetown so we wanted to see and find out as much as possible about Charlottetown. We went online and booked a walking tour with Tip to Tip Island Tours. Josh was our guide and in a couple hours we learned so much about the history, architecture and people and for a very reasonable price. We would definitely recommend this tour.

Excellent tour guide - Really enjoyed the tour. Guide was very knowledgeable not only about Charlottetown but PEI history in general. Kept greeting random people we met on the streets as we walked around. Brought binder with photos and documents which enhanced the presentation. Wonderful experience.

I highly recommend the the Downtown Charlottetown tour! - Mia was a fantastic tour guide. Not only was she knowledgeable about the sites we visited and their history, but she explained how various historical figures and events shaped PEI's and Canada's future. I would highly recommend this tour to anyone visiting Charlottetown!

Informative & Worthwhile - The tour was informative and done at a relaxed enough pace for my 73-year-old mother to enjoy herself. We learned a lot about the history of Charlottetown (positive and negative), and came away with a greater appreciation for the city, and a better understanding of Canadian history in general. Definitely worthwhile!

Quick Facts - very informative ... perhaps more enjoyable if the guide did not feel rushed. Great "10 cent tour". Thank you

Nice historic stroll around Charlottetown - Our guide Josh comes from a family of many generations of PEIers. He provided a good baseline for the history and some of the quirkiness of Charlottetown. Good insights and good food recommendations.
