Hi, it's Jack D from beautiful and exciting PEI. I am a direct descendant of the first French settlers who came here in 1720. I was born in Summerside and have lived in Charlottetown since 1991. I spent my entire career in customer service and retired as a Regional Manager of the local Lottery Corporation, responsible for a team of sales reps and a retail network of 1200 outlets. I have established myself as a 5 star Certified Professional Tour guide by learning from the best. This being my first touring season with ToursByLocals, you will see that I do not have any previous "ToursByLocals" reviews. However I do have over fifty five * reviews from previous touring seasons with tour companies that have been sold to progressively larger tour companies. Therefore my previous reviews are no longer posted on the internet. I will share three of my reviews for your reference. 1. " Reviewed May 29, 2018 Excellent Private Tour with Jack. We wanted a private tour instead of the tours offered on the Holland America Maasdam. We are happy we booked the Island Scenic Drive with Anne of Green Gables for our group of 5. Our tour guide was Jack and he was great! We went to picturesque beaches, walked through the beautiful Dalvay by the Sea (a great place to stop) as well as a nice stop at the Prince Edward Island Preserve. Jack gave us a a fantastic tour with lots of local information. He even had brought along some muffins! We recommend asking for Jack when you book your tour--you won't be disappointed! Date of experience: May 2018. 10. Reviewed September 11, 2017 2. FantasticTour of PEI We booked a tour pretty much all based on reviews here and many other online sources. Our decision was based on the numerous positive reviews and have to tell you it was way beyond our expectations. The 4 1/2 hour Amazing PEI experience tour, led by Jack, provided us numerous stops, with more than enough time to gather the experience of each one without being rushed. Jack's knowledge of the island, historical facts, and great personality added immensely to the quality of the car travel throughout the day. Hope you get a chance to share the day with Jack Date of experience: September 2017. Reviewed October 15, 2018 via mobile 3. Excellent Operation My wife and I travel a lot, all 7 Continents, and we have visited 60+ countries, many of them multiple times. We have retained numerous Tour Guides, and we haven't found one better than Jack. He is very knowledgeable, thoroughly organized, and is a delight to be with on tour. This is the guide you should retain in PEI. Date of experience: October 2018 When you choose to tour with me I will meet you at your pick up point and ensure that your tour will be one of the best tours you have ever enjoyed. You choose the tour and I will look after everything else. I await the opportunity to make your Prince Edward Island experience come to life.

Jack made our one day in PEI the highlight of our week. We set out to do a full day of all things Anne of Green Gables but got so much more. He shared so much local knowledge with us. We went to a lunch spot he suggested and it was so good! I would highly recommend booking with Jack for anyone.
What a wonderful day spent with the amazing and knowledgable Jack. Not only was he kind and thoughtful, he was incredibly efficient making sure our group had the best day. He was patient and helpful regarding special accommodations for a group member as well. He was sure to check in on everyone’s needs and even took us to a local spot for a delicious lunch. I would (and will) recommend Jack to anyone interested in a trip to PEI. This tour with EXPERT tour guide Jack could not be better! He made a dream trip to LM Montgomery’s home even better than I imagined. Many, many thanks!
Jack, We can never thank you enough for your remarkable hospitality and education yesterday! We have not stopped remarking on everything - and will cherish our Lucy Maud Montgomery/Anne of Green Gables day forever. For our granddaughter, it will be a core memory - and it was truly the realization of a dream for my husband and me! Your wife's art work, as well as your kindness in sharing your knowledge and heart, will go home with us Sunday. Just wish we had secured you for one more day!!
We had a wonderful time on our tour. Jack was right where he said he would be when we got off the ship. I was very interested in Lucy Maude Montgomery/Anne of Green Gables and Jack made sure to take us to all of the important places. He would take us inside the museums and make sure we knew where to go and what to do. He also showed us other wonderful spots on P.E.I. and took us to a wonderful diner for lunch. He answered all the questions we had and also told us a lot of interesting info as we were driving. His wife also painted a seashell to give to us and it was a beautiful souvenir to remind us of our trip. P.E.I. was beautiful and Jack was a wonderful tour guide. I would highly recommend this tour and Jack as a tour guide.
Jack was an awesome guide! We so enjoyed our time with him. We used him as our guide for a total of three days. He was always prompt. His vehicle is super clean and his driving is great. He is a wealth of knowledge of all things PEI. He can easily share the history of PEI and could answer any question we had. He was able to easily adapt his tour if we wanted to do something different. I highly recommend using Jack as your guide. As an added bonus, he even picked us up at the airport and dropped us off there when we needed to leave. Our trip to PEI was so special because of the great services of Jack.
I have used local guides all around the world. Jack is the best guide I have ever used.
We visit the city before making our way to Park Corner to Anne of Green Gable's Museum and the Lake of Shining Waters.

Montgomery Park, both new in 2019. The Cavendish Green Gables Post Office (where you can get the Green Gables Post Mark). We will drive through the National Park to see the beautiful sand dunes of Cavendish Beach and the red sandstone cliffs on our way to the charming fishing village of North Rustico where we will learn about the lobster, oyster and mussel fishing industry and a visit to one of the oldest lighthouses on PEI (outside only).
