Being an Islander all my life, with my family having deep roots here, you will not only learn about the history and geography of Charlottetown and the Island as we walk through the historic streets but also hear many personal anecdotes. Some of these will be about the history of the Kelly family while others will be will be more personal. Whether your from here or from away I think you will leave with a deeper appreciation of the place I call home.

A small town with big history and Jamie Kelly was the one to share it with us. As a sixth generation resident he is incredibly knowledgeable and shares the information easily. This is the best Canadian tour for us this year!
Well worth it!

This is an absolute must for anyone coming to PEI/Charlottetown for the first time. Jaime was our guide and did an incredible job of giving personal stories while still providing historical and cultural facts of both the island and the town. He was able to answer a wide range of questions and everyone in my group (ranging from 11 to 75) rated it a 10 out of 10. A definite must if one is in the area. Thanks for creating lifelong memories!
Fantastic Historical Tour

Jamie Kelly, our guide, was excellent. His family has lived in Charlottetown for generations so he was able to provide an historical perspective from someone who has a long family history here. Jamie showed us many of Charlottetown’s historical buildings and sites, providing us with backstories and information to tell the development of the city from its beginnings to modern day. From details about the bricks and sandstone and architectural styles to people who played an important part in Confederation, Jamie was a wealth of knowledge and readily answered our questions. You can tell he is a proud Islander and passionate about his city. Thank you Jamie for a fabulous and informative tour.
