What people are saying about Nova Scotia

I was on a cruise with my family and the excursions we wanted were fully booked. We lucked out though, because I found Get Your Guide and this tour was so much better. We were a group of 4 so we ended up with a private tour of Prince Edward Island. The tour covered all the areas we knew about and added in a few unknown to us. We learned about the island on the way to each stop and were given time to go through at our own pace. Would recommend this tour as well as our guide David.

Very easy to follow the guide. Very helpful and knowledgeable staff everywhere. Very good archives. Library helped me find relatives, took the time to do it. Overall great experience. I was an immigrant who came through those doors

The guide was humorous, knowledgeable and explained a lot about PEI. And He was kind and gave us enough time to look around. It was a solo trip, but I was not bored at all, and this trip will be unforgettable.

Fascinating history. Stories our guide shared were interesting and heart warming. A woman in our group immigrated from Italy in 1960. It was a moving experience for her and an honour for us to meet her.

I had a great day spent visiting Prince Edward Island, learning about its rich culture and history. Thank you Joe for such a great experience and all your great knowledge.
