4Incompetent Employee
I’m disabled and was told by the woman in the booth at the Info Centre that I was to meet the tour at the wharf. While that distance may not be far for an able bodied person, every step I take is agony. After I struggled down to the wharf , I was told to meet the tour back at the Info Centre where I had started. How can an employee not know something as basic as where to meet the tour? I need my energy to see things not making useless , painful loops bc an employee doesn’t know what she’s doing. The tour was great and Emma was wonderful!
5Great tour!
This was a fun way to see Charlottetown. A wee history lesson. Emmett was great as a guide. We enjoyed it so much we took the Harbour Hopper in Halifax!

About Charlottetown
Charlottetown, capital of Prince Edward Island, is a small harbour city of low brick streets where the talks behind Canadian Confederation began in 1864.
Charlottetown sits on the south shore of Prince Edward Island, on a harbour fed by three rivers. In 1864 delegates met in Province House, a sandstone building that is still the seat of the provincial legislature, to discuss uniting the colonies of British North America. The Confederation Centre of the Arts stands nearby, the spires of St Dunstan's Basilica rise over the streets, and Victoria Row keeps its brick storefronts, now cafés and restaurants.
