7 Tours in Charlottetown Worth Booking

1.Green Gables House & Our Island Experience

★★★★★★★★★★4.5 · 457 reviews · 4 hours (approx.) · from $89Our pick

Travel from central Charlottetown to Green Gables Heritage Place, Prince Edward Island National Park, North Rustico, and the Preserve Company. An air-conditioned coach, local guide, and live commentary keep the half-day moving. Guides such as Joan and Maura are known for adding island stories beyond Anne’s famous farmhouse.

“A good experience but some parts of the tour was a little rushed. The visit to Anne’s house was a decent amount of time but felt rushed at the preserve company. Could have missed out one of the other two stops which were a view of the red cliffs and sand dunes or lobster pots and how they are used. The red cliffs were no better than Sidmouth cliffs in Devon. It was interesting to see the colours of the trees in autumn and the number of fallen trees from the hurricane 3 years ago”

“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…”
