“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…”
