Discover “the fairest land ‘tis possible to see” on our Green Gables Shore half-day tour from Charlottetown. This is the quaint, historic region of Prince Edward Island that inspired L.M. Montgomery’s classic 1908 novel ‘Anne of Green Gables.’ You will see rolling hills of farmland, sandy beaches and sandstone cliffs. Tour the popular Prince Edward Island National Park and Green Gables Heritage House with a knowledgeable guide, visit a fishing harbour, pass by oyster and mussels farms, then stop at the Prince Edward Island Preserve Company with artisan preserves, fine teas and giftware. You will return to Charlottetown within 4 hours, leaving you time to explore the compact, walkable downtown on your own.

5.00The 4 hours flew by. We enjoyed the whole tour. The tour guide was excellent (sorry I don’t remember her name). She gave great information on the history of PEI and shared additional stories as well. Anne of Green Gables tour was an hour long and it was just the right amount to explore the house and surrounding areas.
Nice trip

5.00This was such a great excursion! The little preserves shop stop was great. I recommend taking a few minutes to walk out into their garden area, too, if you can. It was so quiet and pretty along the river. The Green Gables house was a dream come true! We could have easily spent more time there, but enjoyed it greatly all the same. There were no other tour buses there that day, and I recommend taking the full Lover’s Lane walk if you have the time and weather permits. We also enjoyed stopping to learn how lobster catching works and seeing the fishing wharf while also getting to do some quick stops to see the beach at Cavendish and a view of the area just before you would get to the Cabot Trail. Also, HUGE shout out to our tour guide Cindy! She was incredibly informative and interesting to listen to. We learned so much about Prince Edward Island, from its education to its history to its fishing economy and so much more! She even did a fun little trivia game on the bus at the end. Don’t miss out on this one!

4.00PEI (Prince Edward Island) is a small island but we were glad to take the tour. Hadn't read the book, but do know that this is NOT the house the author grew up in, but was still quite old and a good representative of the time depicted.
Wonderful few hours

5.00Our guide was very friendly and informative. She obviously loved her island and had a lot of knowledge about the area. She even stopped at a lobster cage to explain how lobsters are caught by the fishermen in the area in the special humane cages they use. The island is beautiful and so clean. It was a joy to drive around and listen to the lively banter from our guide. Highly recommend this tour!
Great guide great tour!
