“This tour was excellent in every way!!! The tour guide started on time, informed us all along the way so we knew what to expect. She was very informative and was a great spokesperson for PEI—her pride in her province and country showed through. She tied all of the PEI history together along with the story of Green Gables, the major industries, culture—you name it, she had the information for you. Very pleasant and respectful. I felt like I had been in the classroom of a very polished and professional teacher!”

“Our guide was very knowledgeable. He was new to being a tour guide and will develop into an excellent walking tour guide. Two suggestions … 1) Provide opportunities for short sitting breaks. (There WERE some places where we could have had a short sitting break while he talked. However we weren’t invited to do so.) 2) Make the tour a bit more interactive. (We were a small group of just 10 people. However Ken just kept feeding us information as quickly as possible in a lecture style.) All that said, we learned a lot about Charlottetown and were glad we did the tour. Key point … Ken has been a…”

“Grayson LaPointe was knowledgeable, kind, respectful and thoughtful throughout the whole tour. He had a good sense of humor too and I had no idea he was famous, as he plays 'Gilbert' in an Ann of Green Gables theatre production. He showed us the where the billboard was and allowed us to take pictures. He was intelligent and allowed us time to enJOY some shops, take pictures and enJOY conversation. It was a wonderful way to see the island I live on as I sometimes feel like a tourist as I do not know the city very well. But I do now, or at least far better than I did…”

It was obvious that he knew his amazing city well and wanted to share it with us. Our group was very small and we got to cover a lot of territory as he shared interesting stories about his family and life on the island. Thanks to Jamie’s recommendation we were directed to the best lobster rolls on the island. One of the finest tours I’ve ever been on.”
