Rondreisopties
Reisroute
King Square is een historisch openbaar plein gelegen in het hart van Saint John. Ontworpen in 1785 is het gemodelleerd naar traditionele Britse pleinen en dient als een geliefde groene ruimte voor de lokale bevolking en bezoekers.
De Saint John City Market, gelegen in het hart van het uptown Saint John, New Brunswick, is de oudste nog bestaande boerenmarkt in Canada, met wortels die teruggaan tot 1785. De City Market dient als een uniek historisch en culinair centrum in Saint John
Het is het op een na grootste stadspark van Canada en het eerste grootste intercitypark van New Brunswick met 2200 hectare ongerepte natuurlijke schoonheid, met tien meren en 55 paden en voetpaden.
Nationale historische site van Canada gebouwd door Britten in 1777, tijdens de Amerikaanse revolutie, deze locatie biedt een panoramisch uitzicht over de haven en de stad.
Het is een uniek fenomeen, ontstaan door de botsing van de Fundybaai en de Saint Johnrivier. Bij laag water mondt de rivier uit in de baai waardoor een reeks stroomversnellingen en draaikolken ontstaat. Naarmate het tij stijgt, vertraagt het de rivierstroom voor een korte periode – slap tij genoemd en drolt de rivier bij hoogtij volledig in de tegenovergestelde richting.
Verken de beroemde zeegrotten van Saint Martins. Bekijk de rode zandstenen zeegrotten, uitgesleten door miljoenen jaren van de machtige getijden en verken dit schilderachtige dorpje met zijn vuurtoren, vissersboten en charmante overdekte bruggen.

Fantastic tour with Ali! We loved our city tour of St. John with Ali! He was fun, knowledgeable and made the day unforgettable. The Reversing Falls were amazing to see, and Ali knew the perfect spot for photos. We had lunch at a local restaurant by the Sea Caves for the most delicious lobster rolls! Highly recommend this tour — it’s a great way to see the city.
Great tour in private van that held 6 passengers. Tour guide was knowledgeable and informative about the area, and upon our request dropped us off near the cruise port where there was better dinning options. I would go in this tour again.
We had a wonderful time and our driver we was very knowledgeable about the area and accommodating to our wants and needs. Our ride was comfortable and smooth.

Our goal is always to make our guests feel comfortable and provide a memorable, personalized experience. We truly appreciate you taking the time to share your feedback and hope to welcome you again on your next visit to Saint John!
We had a good time on this tour. Our driver made an effort to visit places, more than once, allowing us to see changes in the tides. At the end of the tour he even let our group divide up and dropped us in two different locations.
Thank you for sharing your experience! We’re so glad to hear you enjoyed the tour and appreciated the extra effort your driver made to show the tide changes—it’s truly one of the most fascinating sights in our region. We’re also happy we could accommodate your group’s needs at the end of the tour. We appreciate your kind words and hope to see you again!
Our guide was awesome. He knew a lot about the tides and the caves, and was very accomodating. We enjoyed the entire experience.
Thank you so much for your wonderful review! We’re delighted to hear you enjoyed the tour and that your guide made the experience both informative and enjoyable. The tides and caves are truly special, and we’re glad you had the chance to experience them fully. We appreciate your kind feedback and hope to welcome you again.
It is hard to say if our experience was the norm. There were several other ships redirected to Saint John because of the hurricane. We were a party of 6 and we were in a mini van but because the van had captain chairs we had to squeeze 3 in the back and it was very tight and not comfortable. Our driver was super nice but it was difficult at times since English is his second language. We didn’t get narrative around while driving. At the stops he would give some narrative but when questions asked he really couldn’t give more. It’s tough because we have came off of 3 other ports all private tours and they would outstanding. We did get to see what we wanted Bay if Fundy and the Lighthouse but really nothing else exciting. Our driver was a taxi cab so maybe because of the increase in tourists this was not his regular tour guide job. We booked almost a year in advance and this was our regular stop so think we should have gotten more.
Thank you for your feedback. We regret that your experience in Saint John did not meet expectations, especially given your advance booking and positive experiences at other ports. Due to the unexpected influx of visitors from weather-related diversions, local resources were stretched, and in some cases, non-regular guides were utilized. We apologize for the discomfort and lack of in-depth commentary during your tour. We appreciate your understanding and thank you for bringing this to our attention.
We enjoyed our private tour with Tariq and Akhmad. They take you to wonderful point of interest and places. They are very accommodating with reasonable requests. They accommodate my father who had some mobility issues especially with difficulty walking. Will recommend them.
Our tour guide was fine, but this port was disappointing given the cost. Not a good value. The city isn’t particularly attractive and the tour stops were average. This was the consensus of our whole group. Norwegian would be well served to select a different port.
Saint John isn't a "disappointment"- its one of the North America's oldest cities with history and scenery that countless travelers value. If it didn't match your taste, that's preference, not lack of worth.
Our tour operator Mo was so nice and is a very sweet man and is very proud of his city. Great time. St Martin was beautiful .
Thank you for your lovely feedback! We’re so glad to hear you had a great time and enjoyed the beauty of St. Martin. Mo will be delighted to know you appreciated his kindness and pride in sharing the city. We truly value your comments and hope to welcome you on another tour in the future!
We wanted private tour for 3 couples ( didnt want the bus excursion from cruise ship) so that was great and guide was knowledgable re the sights and history. he did go on about some politics near the end of the tour, which we did not appreciate. but other than that it was a good tour. he also said he would email some photos which I havent received....
