Exceptional tours of Prince Edward County that can include numerous experiences. While there are many tour companies in the County none have ALL 5 star ratings. Personally run by the owner who has extensive knowledge of the wineries, breweries and cider houses as well as the amazing history of the County, you will experience a truly memorable tour.

Phil took 6 of us on a wonderful half day tour of the County! We live in the County ( and had two couples visiting who have been here before) so it added a challenge to Phil planning his itinerary for us. We wanted the truly off the beaten path tour, and Phil delivered!!! We visited a wonderful, interesting ( off the beaten path) artist in his studio, saw snow volcanoes, held baby goats, picked up fresh eggs and honey, enjoyed cheese, chocolate and one wine stop. Travelled beautiful roads with Phil adding just the right amount of commentary. It was a thoughtful, well-planned excursion and we highly recommend Phil, who added depth and dimension for our guests while allowing us to relax and enjoy new experiences too. Thank you Phil!!!

Imagine being trapped in Macaulay House, with only Museum artifacts and your understanding of Prince Edward County history to help you escape! The year is 1846 and Rev. William Macaulay has fallen behind in paying his servants. A stash of jewelry and precious metals is rumoured to be hidden somewhere in the house - your help is needed to solve a series of clues and puzzles to find it!

We spent a week with all of our family in Wellington & took them to Sandbanks Provincial Park a number of times as they all loved the wonderful sandy beach & facilities The Grandchildren loved it & had a great time. It is so large & safe for the children as it is shallow for a long ways. Bring chairs & umbrellas & sunscreen.

While a simple beach on Lake Ontario, it is right next to CFB Picton Training area where in the 1950's, models of the Avro Arrow were launched to test wing shapes.

We love going to Point Petre, no matter what time of year, it's beautiful. Unfortunately, hunters have been going there and not picking up their shot gun shells. It's sad to see all the garbage all over the beach. My kids decided to reuse the shells to make a beach Christmas tree was the best thing to do...
