This is our first Voicemap tour and we really enjoyed it. it was nice to be able to pause the tour and pop in for a coffee at Tosmart (it the other recommended places). the only disappointment was not doing a stop at the Jellybean houses as that is so recognizable as a St. John's landmark. we would definitely do other tours with Max Hill .
