Hello, I am Cyril, and I am eager to share Prince Edward Island (PEI), Canada, with you! As a native Prince Edward Islander, I can't wait to start each day showing others "from away" the features that make our island so quaint and unique. From the tiny fishing villages to historic downtown Charlottetown; from the sandy beaches of the national and provincial parks to the hidden coves in the rural settings; from the fishing boats of actual lobster fishermen to the fields of local farmers; I can create tours for every interest. My background is varied. I started work on my father's lobster boat, owned and operated a landscaping company, worked as a concrete finisher on high rise buildings (not on PEI), and had my own fishing fleet back in PEI fishing crab, lobster, and tuna. After selling my fleet, I worked as a carpenter in Alberta but couldn't resist the draw of PEI once again. After coming back home, I worked as a foreman for a fencing company, then started to drive a taxi part time where I discovered the opportunity to show others of my love for the island through tours. I offer a variety of standard tours around Prince Edward Island, along with custom tours designed to meet your interests. My tours are limited to 6 guests, but if given notice, I can make other arrangements for larger groups. Some quotes from previous clients "This guy was a riot! HE knows everything about PEI, drove extremely safe, had us laughing all the time, and kept talking with interesting bits of information about the island and the entire region. " "From the moment we began our tour, we laughed and took in every site recommended, by Cyril. This day was so loved by each of my children (16, 14, 11, & 8). With previous experiences, I rated Cyril among the best of guides. He brings his love and heritage to life, at any age, for any amount of time you choose. Believe me, if you are visiting PEI, he should be your first call. " "My partner and I needed to take a cab to the Halifax airport from Charlottetown, PEI, and Cyril managed to transform what should have been a long, boring, and simple cab ride, into one of the most positive and memorable moments of our trip. He is by far the most passionate, captivating, and entertaining person that I have had the pleasure of meeting. " My slogan "You're in for a ride", is meant to convey my passion for giving tours, sharing my love of PEI through story telling and having fun while doing so. I look forward to meeting you for your private tour of our "gentle island". Class 1A, 4 and 5 driver's licence (large trucks and up to 15 passenger vehicles).

Overview of your Charlottetown tour

The "Anne" Tour includes visiting 5 different Anne of Green Gables sites on the north side of PEI. The tour takes approximately 5 to 5. 5 hours while driving through the picturesque scenery of PEI. A few stops along the way consist of visits to Dalvay by the Sea, the resort visited by the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge in 2011 on their honeymoon tour, a provincial and national park, and quaint fishing villages. Returning to Charlottetown, we will drive through the patchwork colours of farmland in spring and the brilliant colours associated with our province in summer and fall, including the rich red soil for which we are famous. Upon returning to the city, you will see the historic landmarks and buildings that make Charlottetown unique.

Cyril has deep PEI roots & can customize your tour. He’ll share local color & historical commentary at every turn. We asked questions. He asked questions. Every question was answered, frequently with a personal anecdote. He's a good communicator, fun, & informative. We spoke & texted months before our tour. Cyril gave us good detail on our meet-up spot & it was greatly appreciated. He is punctual, polite, & professionally dressed. His big, spotless, luxury SUV turns heads. Cyril ticked every box on our list. ☐ buy a Canadian Baseball team cap ☐ visit local artisans & shops ☐ stay away from cruise ship crowds ☐ obtain cough medicine & chocolate bars ☐ enjoy a lobster lunch ☐ be protected, entertained & educated by a knowledgeable guide Our tour was on time and on budget. We learned a lot, & laughed often. Why not consider Cyril as your tour specialist? He rocks! Eh?

Cyril was amazing! The only way to really see a site is tgrough the eyes of a local! Cyril thank you for spending the day with us and sharing your stories! I feel we sailed away having made a friend and with a greater understanding of Prince Edward Island and its heritage in a way that goes so far beyond the mythical stories! If you have a chance to visit PEI ask Cyril to guide you through this beautiful island! Thanks for your time Cyril and God speed to you and yours for a life of joy, prosperity and happiness! Rhonda

Our cruise arrived at Charlottetown when the winds were brutal. From shore, Cyril watched our ship and saw the difficulties we were experiencing. He was very patient and calming on the phone. After an hour of repeated attempts to dock and anchor/tender to shore, Cyril met us with an amazing beautiful immaculate Tahoe SUV. Cyril was born and raised on PEI, and gave as an insight that few could about the hard and dangerous life fishermen face. He has experienced decades on the seas fishing initially with his father and later on his own. Because he owns several businesses on PEI, he was able to describe behind the scenes working of provincial and federal governments, their influence on immigration, and the industries on the island including agriculture, fishing and tourism. We saw the typical sites like Anne of Green Gables but so much more. Our day was a life lesson with an amazing guide.

We have traveled extensively and used Tours by Locals when possible. Cyril gave us an outstanding and memorable day on Prince Edward Island. He truly is one of the best guides we have had. He picked us us in a large, comfortable Yukon SUV and we stopped at several picturesque sites, saw Mussel and Oyster farms on our way to the main Anne of Green Gables sites. We toured Historic Sites in Historic Charlottetown and he delivered us to a great little local restaurant where we had a lobster roll and some fresh haddock. Just a great day!
