Be sure to read the Special Notes further down this page for important requirements and restriction.

Considered the "Birthplace of Canada," the island's capital is known for its charming and historical churches. Meander through Charlottetown at a leisurely pace and admire four of its most renowned churches (including one believed to be haunted!). First on the agenda is St. Dunstan's Basilica, a National Historic Site of Canada whose soaring spires are recognized as Charlottetown's most visible landmarks. Then you'll drop by St. James Presbyterian Church, commonly known locally as The Kirk, where three ghostly women ring the church bells, a 19th century legend that's been commemorated on stamps. St. Peter's Anglican Cathedral is just down the street from the Kirk. Designated as a High Anglican Church, it features a unique Rood Screen and Chancel not seen in many churches. On your way back to the pier, you'll stop at All Souls Chapel, a National Historic Site built of Prince Edward Island rust-red sandstone and attached to St. Peter's Anglican Cathedral.

Special Notes:

The order in which the sites are visited may vary. Tour is not recommended for guests with mobility issues. Guests must be able to walk approximately 3.5 miles and climb approximately 15 steps. Not all locations are wheelchair accessible.
