5.00For the limited time we had in Charlottetown, this tour was perfect. It picks up and drops off at the cruise terminal. Our guide was very knowledgeable and witty. He was also very concerned with everyone’s comfort which is not the norm for these types of tours. The old double decker was charming and was a character itself on the tour. I highly recommend!
Smoggy tour bus

2.00Diesel exhaust started leaking into both levels of tour bus around halfway of tour. Passengers had to open windows to let the smog out. However, when bus slowed down, heavy smog filled up the bus again quickly. Reflected the problem to tour bus representative on site, was told “bus was old”.
