Discover Prince Edward Island with Sonya I grew up here, and Prince Edward Island isn’t just where I was raised and now work; it’s home. I know these roads, harbours, and communities the way you do when you’ve lived through the seasons, the storms, and the changes. When I guide, I don’t recite scripts. I share what I know, what I’ve lived, and what still matters here on PEI and to me. I was born and raised on Prince Edward Island, Canada, and grew up in the rural community of Belfast, where my family farmed and operated multiple businesses and my mother worked at the ferry. Many Islanders today trace their roots to early Scottish settlers who arrived in 1803, and on my mother’s side, I am one of those descendants. I also respectfully acknowledge the Mi’kmaq, the original stewards of this land, whose culture and history remain an important and vibrant part of PEI today. Like many Islanders, I’ve worked across a variety of industries over the years, including farming, lobster fishing, golf course ownership, professional driving, education, and tourism. Island life is seasonal, and being adaptable has given me a broad understanding of the people, work, and rhythms that shape our communities. Tour guiding allows me to bring all of that together. I love sharing PEI’s landscapes, history, folklore, and everyday stories in a way that feels relaxed, informative, and personal. I take pride in offering tours that are well paced, welcoming, and tailored to my guests’ interests whenever possible. My goal is always to give you the best tour experience possible. I am a nationally certified tour guide, trained in safety and first aid, and a professional driver. I give my full attention to my guests and strive to ensure every tour is comfortable, engaging, and memorable. My guiding career was inspired years ago by a tour I took in Nashville ; energetic, informative, and genuinely enjoyable. I knew right then that tour guiding was for me. That experience stayed with me and eventually led me to turn a long-held dream into a career here on Prince Edward Island. I’ve now been guiding for over nine years and truly love what I do. My goal is simple: to help guests experience PEI in a meaningful way and leave with memories they’ll talk about long after their trip ends. Additional Information No smoking or vaping in vehicles Children’s car seats are not provided The GMC Savana van requires two steps to enter; a step stool can be provided .

Experience the beauty and quiet charm of Prince Edward Island’s North Shore on this relaxed, story-filled private tour inspired by Anne of Green Gables. Travel through rolling farmland, coastal villages, red cliffs, sandy beaches, and historic harbours while hearing Island stories, local history, and the landscapes that shaped one of the world’s most beloved novels. This tour is thoughtfully paced, scenic, and personal ; ideal for first-time visitors and Anne fans alike.I focus on the places that shaped both the story of Anne and the Island itself ; from busy harbours and coastal roads to farmland and beaches that reflect long traditions as well as the changes Islanders have lived through. PEI is more than a destination ; it’s a feeling. I look forward to sharing my Island with you.
Sonya was so kind and extremely knowledgeable. Would highly recommend.
Sonya provided an incredible experience! Our goal was a focus on the Ann of Green Gables sites, and she accommodated fantastically! She was a wealth of information that did not disappoint! We highly recommend her to any desiring a tour of the island.
Sonya was great! If your scale went to 10 stars, she would be in 11. We got to see parts of Charlottetown we never would have gotten with a regular tour.
Sonya P was a wonderful tour guide. She was easy to communicate with before our trip and very flexible given our cruise changed its itinerary and we had unfavorable weather. Her knowledge of PEI was excellent and she shared facts and experiences as this is her homeland. We found Sonya to be enthusuadtic, friendly and knowledgeable and thoroughly enjoyed our visit with her!! If we return to PEI we would absolutely call her again.
We really enjoyed our tour with Sonya! She is so personable and had so much to say about the area. Even though there was a fixed itinerary, she was flexible for a so we wanted to make. The timing at the various stops was about right, besides the fact that it was flexible so we could have had more or less time depending on what we wanted. She was willing to drop our party off in two different places at the end of the tour which we really appreciated. I can highly recommend Sonya!
Great tour from a friendly and knowledgeable local guide. Lovely vehicle and scenery. Highly recommended.
