Great value for the money! - Josh took us from Charlottetown north to Rustico, Cavendish, and back to Charlottetown in a pretty big loop, combining some PEI history and interesting anecdotes with some excellent suggestions for additional things to do. It took us about 3 hours to do the loop. My biggest complaint, (and it’s really more of a comment) is that Josh could be more precise in his diction, as it was sometimes difficult to hear what he said. That aside, he gave a great tour, and may have inspired us to try creating one in our very picturesque area of the Finger Lakes in western New York!

A Make-it-your-own Tour - Had a great experience with Josh’s self-guided tour.
He was very responsive when we had questions, and the tour app was very easy to use.
The tour was very informative, and even funny at times. We enjoyed the suggestions to stop at different places, and it was very easy to get back on the tour with no interruptions to the route.
Would definitely recommend, especially if you like to customize your own adventures!

a wonderful audio tour. Highly recommended! - I was not sure what to expect when I bought this audio tour but boy, was I glad we did! Josh was very responsive and answered my questions promptly. The audio guide is very easy to use. You download an app and put in the code that Josh sends and you are all set. The tour starts at the visitor info center downtown. It is magic how the audio guide knows where you are and tells you what you are looking at along the way. We went up streets into places that other would never have found. If you are into Anne of Green Gables there is a stop there as well. Just be sure to book your rental car well in advance of the ship coming in. If you are not on a ship and visiting in your own car, this is a really great way to get the “flavour” of PEI. I recommend this to everyone.

Tour unused due to ship staying at eaa - We could not docked and stayed out at see. The process to purchase and download was a breeze. I am sure it would have worked had we been able to use it. Leaving a review about the process. Now only annoyed a the number of reminders I got to leave a reviews since I hadn’t used the tour I was not intending to review it.

An incredible afternoon with Mac! - We spent a wonderful afternoon with Mac seeing the absolutely beautiful Cape Breton National Park. Mac’s family history is a fascinating link to the economic development of the area, and the dedication to conserving the environment and fishing industry that are vital to this province. His enthusiasm is infectious and his knowledge of the history of Nova Scotia is impressive. This is a must do experience the is full of facts and fun driving along mountain trails and seaside towns and beaches.

Great App - It was nice to travel in my own vehicle and still have a virtual travel guide to narrate points of interest. The app worked well and kept us on track. would recommend.

Good tour, narrator could be better. - Great way to see part of the island including Green Gables in the privacy of your own vehicle. Narration content is good; delivery is a bit amateurish. Still a good value.
