Adventure

5 hours.   $500 This tour is for the ultimate Anne fan but will also delight those fascinated by the beauty of PEI as described by The Anne of Green Gable author Lucy Maude Montgomery in her novels. Driving through the picturesque Island country side you will view rolling farmlands, coastal views and villages coming to life as she described them in her novels. You will enjoy your first stop of the day at Silver Bush, and the Anne of Green Gables Museum owned by the descendants of Lucy Maude, the Campbell family her cousins. The homestead was built in 1872 by her Uncle John and Aunt Annie Campbell. It is also the setting for her novel "Anne's Lake of Shining Waters."
