Fully private, fully customizable tours in Charlottetown — plus the top attractions to see, each with its own guide. Tell us what matters to you and we'll build the day around it.
Charlottetown is the capital of Prince Edward Island and the birthplace of Canada — the 1864 Charlottetown Conference held here laid the groundwork for Canadian Confederation, and Historic Charlottetown's preserved 19th-century streets still reflect that era. It's a small, walkable capital, easily Canada's most low-key, built around a working waterfront and a compact downtown of colonial architecture.
PEI's other defining identity — as the setting of Lucy Maud Montgomery's Anne of Green Gables — draws visitors to Green Gables Heritage Place, the farmhouse and grounds that inspired the novels, now preserved as a national historic site. The island's coastline adds its own distinct character: the Red Sand Coastline, colored by iron-rich soil, runs along much of PEI's shore, while the Confederation Bridge — at nearly 13 km (8 miles), the longest bridge in the world over ice-covered water — connects the island to mainland New Brunswick.
Green Gables and the red-sand coastal viewpoints sit outside the city center, so a private tour that pairs downtown Charlottetown with a scenic coastal drive covers PEI's core appeal in a single well-paced day.

June through September brings PEI's warmest weather and the best conditions for the red-sand coastline and Green Gables' gardens. The island is much quieter and many seasonal attractions close outside this window.
Downtown Charlottetown is small and walkable, but Green Gables Heritage Place and the island's red-sand coastal viewpoints are a drive away, with limited public transit — a private vehicle is the practical way to see PEI beyond the capital.
Summers are mild (18–24°C / 64–75°F) with coastal breezes; a light jacket is worth having for the shoreline, where wind picks up noticeably compared to downtown.
Canada uses the Canadian dollar (CAD). Tipping 15–20% at restaurants is standard, and contactless card payment is widely accepted, including at most attractions and shops.
Most visitors arrive via the Confederation Bridge from New Brunswick — the longest bridge in the world over ice-covered water — or by seasonal ferry from Nova Scotia.
Green Gables Heritage Place gets busy with tour groups in midsummer; an earlier start makes for a quieter visit to the farmhouse and walking trails that inspired the Anne of Green Gables novels.
