As a teacher for many years, I knew the story of Anne and highly recommended it to my students. The site of the house and grounds, was very easy to walk through. We took pictures and loved all the rooms. We actually went through it two times. Well done, souvenirs available (we bought a condensed child version for our grandchildren. Great excursion!!!

Our tour guide was excellent! She got into the position with a costume for every stop and was very knowledgeable. She kept us laughing as well as informed. We were on the last cruise of the year so things were closed and the area was shutting down. It was a great way to see the area with 3 stops and beautiful views. There was still a lot of damage from the hurricane which was sad to see. I was grateful to see the Anne of Green Gables home! Such a pretty place and you could imagine yourself in the book :)

We saw the town of Charlottesville with narration, countryside, Cavendish beach and surrounding area on North Shore, Green Gables museum, farm, Lover's Lane and store, then visit to the gardens of Prince Edward Island Preserve Co.. Was a great value for the money and the tour guide was excellent, very descriptive and interesting. We also saw all the lobster, mussel and crab fishing areas and a demonstration of how lobster are caught. Was better than renting a car and we were back to the ship with time to eat at the best lobster restaurant!

While visiting the Anne of Green Gables site was on my wife's "bucket list" wish list, the real stars of this tour were the tour guide and the bus driver. Their in-depth historical and current knowledge of the area and their friendly, comical banter made the bus ride portion of this tour truly outstanding. Even though this tour took place a few days after the end of "tourist season" and some may have been disappointed by the closure of the gift shop in the Green Gables site, the lack of hordes of tourists at all of our stops was a blessing in disguise. t

We enjoyed the bus tour and narration through Prince Edward Island. We stopped at a culinary gift shop and lobster trapping pier as well as the major destination: the village that has been built in tribute to the Anne of Green Gables novels. Our guide, Maura Lee, was very personable and informative. She had fun with costumes and stuffed dolls (including a lobster) that accentuated the stories she told. If we had to identify a negative it would be that the windows of the bus weren't as clean as we would have liked for picture taking of buildings and scenery along the way.

Our tour guide, Dave Riley, was very knowledgeable about Prince Edward Island. He was also very entertaining when appropriate. It was obvious that he loved his Province and wanted to show as much off as possible. We would have wished for a little more time at the Green Gables stop. The preserves place was packed with 6 tour buses so we didn't really get to do much. We loved stopping at the National Park. It would have been nice to have had a little map showing where we were going, overall a good day and a good tour. I have also reviewed this tour on TripAdvisor.

Prince Edward Island is beyond beautiful and our tour guide made it especially interesting as well. The highlight was visiting Anne of Green Gables where she provided us a costume dress and hat with pig-tails for those of us that wished to have pics taken in the historic carriage on the grounds. What a wonderful Christmas card that will make, especially with my husband playing the part of Anne's "father", Matthew. We would have loved to spend more time there and at the sea bluffs. So beautiful! But we were under the time constraints of the cruise ship. Our guide kept us captivated with stories between stops and we were sorry when it was over. We highly recommend this tour.

Senic Island Drive
June 26, 2017
The itinerary was great and the weather cooperated. The island tour with a stop at the Ann of Green Gables cottage and a local factory producing jams and other condiments was most interesting. The bus driver and tour guide were very good and provided informed commentary throughout the excursion. One issue, probably not worth mentioning, related to the late arrival of two of the passengers. While trying to be accommodating, I am of the opinion that late arrivals should be given an opportunity to participate in another excursion, but, not at the expense of the majority. After a five minute wait the tour should begin. The late arrivals did not seem to care that everyone was waiting. It is up to the tour company to set the standards and then adhere to them. Island hospitality was great and probably reflected in the decision to wait for the latecomers. All in all a great tour.

Not sure what I was expecting having read the book, wanted to see the Lake of Shining Waters etc., but this didn't disappoint --- able to go into the house and take photos inside, which was lovely - really captured the feel of the book. Definitely worth seeing. However, the tour itself took in other stops that I wasn't impressed with - would rather have had more time at the Anne of Green Gables home.

December 11, 2016
Excellent tour. Very unformative guide. Only problem was that departure time was changed and information was relayed via email. We did not hapve access to internet on board and it was only by chance that we checked where the departure point was early in the day only to find that the tour was departing!

The view from a ship cannot compare to actually cruising by bus through the glorious hills and valleys of an almost untouched landscape. The tour guides were full of information which they shared happily.

Anne of Green Gables and Island Drive on PEI
November 16, 2016
To Whom it may concern, I was not at all thrilled with the Anne of Green Gables House and property. However, our guide was excellent on the Island tour. I will I could have spent sometime in the downtown. But I could not walk back to the ship.

Anne of Green Gables a success
October 07, 2016
We have been to PEI in the past and stayed at the Kindred Spirits B&B. We had, of course, been able to see the house, however, we did not get a tour of the entire island. This tour allowed us to not only see but listen to information about the history and culture of PEI and some in depth info about Anne of Green Gables. Our guide was very knowledgeable and personable. He truly led a very smooth and successful shore excursion!

Very nice tour. Scenery was wonderful! The guide was lovely, however, his microphone did not work so we missed much of his discussion. The other snag was that the bus was not at the location where our tickets told us to meet. We waited at the assigned place, and finally had to scramble around looking for them.

great, but too many superfluous stops
July 23, 2016
Going on the tour allowed us to see what we wanted to see from PEI: the Anne of Green Gables house, Cavendish Beach and a view of the Island on the way there and back. It was a sufficient “Island Drive and Anne of Green Gables” Tour and the tour guide was very knowledgable. However, a few of the“brief photo stops” were unnecessary and made the tour longer than 4 hours. While the tour guide was very knowledgeable, I wish he had been more specific when specifying how long to spend off the bus. At each stop, no one knew how long we had which meant some of us got right back on the bus only to wait for others to take their time to come back. We were given an exact length of time to spend at the Anne of Green Gables house, yet the tour guide was late coming back which meant more wasted time.

July 11, 2014
Comfortable bus but due to the rain the windows kept fogging up and we had to choose between being warm enough or clear windows. Not really a problem, we just did our windshield wiper impressions. The guide was informative and gave insights into local life. He gave a demo (in the rain) about lobster pots. The route was beautiful. I would have liked a lot more time at Anne of Green Gables- we had time to buy a snack which we ate on the way home, watch the movie and go through the house. I wish we had time to explore the grounds and think about locations talked about in the books. It is a beautiful area. Since it was raining it wasn't terribly disappointing not to be able to wander through the yard and woods. I definitely want to go back again. We didn't have time to go into the gift shop at all. Good tour to wet our appetite to go back again

We loved the excursion to the house of Green Gables and Peggy's Cove. The guide was top-notch: very knowledgable and excellent speaking voice. Beautiful scenery - got some great photos! It was cold and rainy the day we were there - it would have been nice to have a table in a warm room to have our lunch.
