Small-group tour · From Charlottetown
A small-group run from Charlottetown to Green Gables Heritage Place and back in 3.5 to 4 hours, with north shore scenery on the way. Pick it when the Anne house is the point and you'd rather not spend half the morning on extra stops.
The listing keeps it simple: an express tour from Charlottetown, a visit to Anne of Green Gables Heritage Place, and PEI scenery with your guide. Small group, pickup available, 3.5 to 4 hours. The web address of the listing calls it a Cavendish cliffs tour, which points to the red cliffs of the north shore near Green Gables, though the abstract itself only promises "the scenery of PEI".
Green Gables is a Parks Canada site in Cavendish, about 40 km from town. The farmhouse belonged to David Jr. and Margaret Macneill, cousins of L.M. Montgomery's grandfather, and inspired the home of Matthew and Marilla Cuthbert. Parks Canada furnishes it to the novel: the parlour with its hair wreath, the kitchen, Matthew's ground-floor room and Anne's east gable upstairs (Parks Canada). Around it are the reconstructed barn, the visitor centre's exhibits and two short trails, Lovers Lane and the Haunted Wood.
Do the arithmetic before you book. Roughly 80 km of driving there and back eats a good part of four hours, so your time on site is the remainder, and the listing summary doesn't say how long it is. It also doesn't show whether admission is included, so check the inclusions on the listing. For the price, it undercuts the four-hour small-group tour by about $25 and drops the village and lighthouse stops.
The listing says pickup is available. Confirm where when you book.
Farmland and small communities on the way to Cavendish, with your guide talking you through the island.
The house rooms, the barn exhibits (the Friendship Vow, a dress-up and photo station, the Card Garden) and, if time allows, a short walk on Lovers Lane.
Back within about 4 hours, in time for lunch downtown or an afternoon walk.

The listing summary doesn't give a figure. The whole trip runs 3.5 to 4 hours, and Cavendish is about 40 km each way, so expect a focused visit rather than a long one. Ask the operator if you need a set amount of time.
The listing summary doesn't say. Check the inclusions on the listing. At the gate, adults pay C$10.00 in July and August and C$8.25 in the shoulder months, and youth are free.
It's one of the better fits: short, with pickup available and booking possible up to 2 hours ahead. Confirm the pickup point and return time against your ship's schedule first.
The four-hour tour lists a seaside village, cliff outlooks and lighthouses as well as Green Gables. The express tour lists Green Gables and scenery, runs up to half an hour shorter and costs less.
