This is a short tour compared to some of the others I have been on but just what I was expecting for one hour, a drive thru downtown, and a visit to local neighborhoods, we saw the important sights, tour guide was friendly and knowledgeable

Nice tour of the town. Good information on the history of Canada and Charlottetown. I was concerned that there was no mention of the Indigenous presence in PEI prior to contact. The guide said that the island was "uninhabited" until the Europeans arrived. This is an antiquated view. People would be interested in the history of the indigenous people in the region.

Our ship had to skip this port because of bad weather. I just wanted to say how I appreciate that our fees were refunded. It makes it less risky to book excursions with local tours if you know that you will be refunded if the port stop is cancelled for weather. I was so disappointed to miss it and hope to come and take the tour another time.

Our cruise ship did not dock because of bad weather. As soon as we found out we phoned the company and they said sorry no refunds.

Sadly, our ship failed to make port, so we didn’t get to enjoy this trip. I will say, however, the tour operator kindly refunded our money, and we are grateful for their speedy response!
