Good opportunity to get the feel of the area. How people live and make a living. Fishing, agriculture, education. Went through Mikmak indians place. Stopped at Lucy Montgomery house, author of her 7 books, good area to walk for an hour. Maura was a good guide.

This was an excellent excursion. Our tour guide was extremely knowledgeable and pointed out everything that you can imagine.
Ladeen_M, Apr 2026
Your time at Green Gables is extremely limited. You wait in line to be hustled through the house leaving no time to explore the grounds or the informational exhibits at the entrance
However you spend a very long time at a local jam and jelly shop allegedly to use the toilets. But there are very adequate toilets at Green Gables if the time was allowed to use them.
The most disappointing tour ever.
Response from Host, Apr 2026
We are sorry you did not have the time you wanted at Green Gables Heritage Place. It does constitute 25% of the whole tour including driving time to and from Charlottetown. Yes, for fans of Anne and the author, there is a lot to see, especially if visiting on a busy day at the most famous house in Canada. We hope you visit Prince Edward Island again and return to Green Gables, Cavendish and other LM Montgomery cultural sites on your own and at your leisure.

I didn't realize the history behind the stories of Anne of Green Gables and that the author had written so many books.

This tour was a wonderful interview to PEI and fulfilled a lifelong wish to visit Green Gables. The scenery was breathtaking and our guide, Joan, was incredibly knowledgeable and informative about the island she loves. She shared personal experiences and let us have a glimpse into life on PEI. This was one of the best tours we’ve ever taken. Highly recommend!

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

Renee_E, Oct 2025
Our guide (Joan) and driver (Dale) were great. The tour was on a large coach which was comfortable. Informative commentary as we drove around Charlottetown and then to the Anne of Green Gables site. We had about an hour there which was time to go through the house (it is crowded and not handicap accessible). You can’t linger in the house, but you can stroll around the grounds a bit. There was a gift shop and museum as well as a coffee shop. We later stopped at a an overlook at the coast for a brief opportunity to take photos and at preserve factory for a tasting and restroom break. They got us back to the meeting place on time to catch our cruise ship. Thank you Prince Edward Tours!

This tour was excellent in every way!!! The tour guide started on time, informed us all along the way so we knew what to expect. She was very informative and was a great spokesperson for PEI—her pride in her province and country showed through. She tied all of the PEI history together along with the story of Green Gables, the major industries, culture—you name it, she had the information for you. Very pleasant and respectful. I felt like I had been in the classroom of a very polished and professional teacher!

We booked this tour the night before. We arrived to the port via cruise ship. Once we were off the ship it was an easy 10 minute walk to the food market. The tour kiosk was easy to find and the reception was welcoming. The tour kept to the promised time table and the tour guide was very knowledgeable and had great side stories. The tour was exactly as described.

What a great excursion this was. We made great time to all the locations and they had us back with plenty of time to get back on the ship. Our guide was so knowledgeable and fun to listen to. Our driver got us everywhere we needed to be with lots of time to do what we wanted! Anne of Green Gables House was a sight to see. Beautiful scenery between stops!
