3. Private tour of Anne of Green Gables sites in Prince Edward Island

Four hours by private vehicle — visit Historic Charlottetown and key locations from Anne of Green Gables, including Green Gables Heritage Site and Lucy Maud Montgomery's birthplace.

“PEI was a dream destination for my friend and me. Throughout the tour, Don was calm, friendly, and patient. Our enthusiasm for Anne of Green Gables was met with his thoughtful adjustments to the itinerary, allowing us to avoid crowds and enjoy the Heritage House and Anne of Green Gables Museum almost alone. As the tour buses arrived, we took the opportunity to hop back into Don's van for our next stop. Don was eager to take photos for us and answered all our questions, no matter how trivial. He even surprised us with Anne of Green Gables straw hats complete with orange yarn braids from his trunk, which made for some entertaining pictures in front of the Heritage House. One member of our group who was recovering from an injury used a walker, and Don provided excellent assistance and made accommodations in his vehicle. His van was clean and comfortable, and he used a microphone so we could hear everything clearly. Our day in PEI was truly perfect, and the tour surpassed all our expectations. Thank you, Don.”— glendyner
