Photography PEI

Does anyone know what makes this tour "moderate"? One of our party does well walking long distances on flat ground, but doesn't do so well with hills.

 

Alternatively, we could do the Panoramic Island Drive and Confederation Bridge in the hopes of seeing some pretty scenery and snapping a few pictures on that tour.

Consider renting a car! You will get much better value and PEI is very easy to navigate. We have done it twice now and it gives you the ability to choose where you want to stop and for how long.

Absolutely consider renting a car. However if you take a tour, there are very few hills on PEI and I doubt if you will be doing more than walk.

 

From my notes:

http://boards.cruisecritic.com/showthread.php?t=1230792 self drive tour, mentions rentals

Love the links, maryann ns, and the feedback on the PEI terrain. "Very few hills" is what I needed to know.

However, I would be asking the tour company (ship) for details just to be sure.

Of course. Thanks again, Maryann NS and trophy 23. I think we're going to go with the "easy" Panoramic Tour instead of the "moderate" Photography tour. While BF and I would be comfortable renting a car, it's not something we want to try with my dad. Sometimes "Get on the bus, get off the bus" types of tours are the key to everyone having a peaceful, relaxing vacation, even if it means we miss a few sights.

PEI has beautiful scenery so I am sure you will enjoy the drive. It would be a big help to future visitors if you could report back here about how your day went.
