Set out on a delicious journey through Charlottetown with one of our local, multi-generation guides—Josh, Mark, Ken, or Carolyn—each with deep roots on Prince Edward Island. This Food and History Walking Tour introduces you to the flavours and stories that define PEI, blending local history with tastings at some of the city’s best-loved restaurants.
Along the way, you’ll sample a variety of the island’s signature dishes, from fresh seafood to classic comfort foods, with water provided at each stop. While these are sample sizes designed to give you a taste of PEI’s culinary highlights, you’ll leave with a true sense of the island’s food culture. Learn about the origins of each dish, why it holds a special place in Islanders’ hearts, and how PEI’s history has shaped its food traditions.
Your guide will share fascinating stories about the city and its cuisine, offering insights you won’t find in any guidebook. At each stop, you can purchase additional drinks such as pop or alcohol if you wish. Please note that the Water Prince Corner Shop stop may sometimes be a takeaway or picnic-style experience due to the restaurant’s popularity.
The tour wraps up with a special tradition: you’ll be “shuck in” and become an honorary Islander, taking home not just new tastes, but a deeper connection to PEI’s community and food heritage.
