Excellent tour, guide was extremely knowledgeable and fun to listen to. He has perfectly designed the tour to avoid climbing the steep roads in Saint John. Wonderful tour and sn easy walk.
We do like to have fun. No uphills! Thank you for your patronage,and the wonderful review.
Pete is personable, friendly and intelligent. My wife Linda and no felt Pete was very informative and well worth the price that was asked. The tour was exceptional.
Thank you for the lovely review. We are having a wonderful time this season.
Pete is a local and that much is obvious! He knows everything and everyone. We had so much fun learning about Saint Johns with Pete! There is simply no way we would have had as much fun, knew where to get the best bite, or seen nearly as much without him! Do yourself a favor and skip the commercialized tours and tour the town with Pete. You won’t be sorry and it’ll certainly be worth your time! Trying to see everything on your own won’t be as much fun, trust me!
Thank you for the fantastic review. We always have fun, and I recommend only the best places.
Pete is a friendly, knowledgeable guy- felt like I was more acquainted with the city and got a feel for the history. Saint John is a very industrial city which is a bit hard to look past the smoke stacks to the natural beauty. Nice thing is, that the people of Saint John look past that and love their city- met many people there and they all love Saint John!
Thank you for your review. Saint John is the industrial engine that drives New Brunswick, but we do have two massive parks within the city limits- Rockwood Park, and the Irving Nature Park. However, it is the people that make the place !
Loved this tour! Pete was very knowledgeable and truly seemed to enjoy sharing his love for his home town. We really felt like we learned so much about this beautiful town and so glad we were able to see it through Pete's eyes. Highly recommend!
If you could see Saint John as I see it, that is one of my main aims. I love dong this, and sharing my knowledge with others. Thanks.
Pete is very well versed. He made the tour interesting and fun. We started and ended on time. He planned the tour so there is no uphill walking.
Glad that you had fun, and found it interesting. There are no uphills, and we stay on time. Thank you very much indeed, Pete.
Excellent walking tour with Pete. He is a Saint John local who knows the history as well as the current city. He is funny and has an engaging personality. The tour route maneuvered around the hills so it was fairly flat.
There is a lot happening here at the moment, and our history is extensive. No uphills is a key feature of my tour. Thank you for the great review.
The walk is gentle with stops to sit down and this senior had no issues . The guide Pete is a delightful character
Thank you for the lovely description of my tour. The comfort of all of my customers is most important.
Great walk thru uptown with history. Saw the city market, mall, library, Marco Polo model, several parks and he gave lunch recommendations. Sandwiches at Jeremiah's were spot on.
Thanks for the review. There is a lot to see here, and a great variety of lunch places. I am so glad that you enjoyed it.
2 hours of walking. Wear comfortable footwear and clothing. Walk goes through the Market. I would have loved to spend more time there, but we were on a schedule.
Thank you for your review. We do sit down and relax at one point in the tour, but there is a lot to see. Time spent in the market depends on people's schedules, there is an option to return there,if possible. Also, there are no uphills on my tour. It was lovely to meet you today,best regards, Pete.
