Thank you Josh - This tour is amazing! It covers all the important things you need to see in the area. We split the tour to two days and we had a lot of time to get out of the car and checkout all the stops. We absolutely loved it and recommend!

Day trip through central PEI - We covered a lot of territory on this tour. Glad we did it. Also, I purchased this tour through a third party (TripAdvisor)and was given an incorrect code to activate it. The actual tour company was quick to straighten it out and was very helpful.

Wonderful day! - We thoroughly enjoyed the audio tour! It was very informative and had great directions. It was our first trip to PEI and it is magnificent. We appreciated having our own tour guide. Highly recommend this audio tour; we had a wonderful day!!

Wonderful being able to... - Wonderful being able to be in your own space and go your own pace yet have narration of what you are seeing along with history of the area and the island. Biggest problem was wanting to stay longer at most sites. Also, could not locate the “pause/stop” then “restart” features, so sometimes missed some narration or had to go back to re-listen. Overall, great experience!

Relaxing car tour with great stops - We hit all the spots we wanted to see and enjoyed that we could stop and spend as much or as little time in each place as we wanted. Directions were clear and we learned some history along the way.

Perfect Excursion Tour of PEI - The family was on a cruise and had a whole day in PEI. instead of joining a tour, we rented a car and followed the audio tour at our own pace. The information was very interesting and fun. The suggestions were appreciated. The tour made our day in PEI extra special!

- We could not get it to work very easily. Ended up buying it twice. The info on the tour is great but getting the app and getting the tour on an apple phone was not user friendly.

Not what I hoped for - My experience was terrible. The app kept repeating itself, driving me around in circles going nowhere. I followed the instructions and still got very easily lost. Gave up after 20 minutes. Not worth the money, which by the way, if you’re honest and declare all the passengers in your car, you pay more for!! It shouldn’t matter if it’s one person or a full car. It should not cost more when we’re all in the same vehicle.
