Newfoundland!!!
We went with our good friends and visited St John’s, Port Rexton, Bonavista and Twillingate. Puffins and Icebergs were so cool. One of our best trips. Newfoundland is amazing. Rugged and beautiful.

St John’s walking tour was active and engaging
This was a really comprehensive tour of New Brunswick and we really enjoyed our guide and his insights. Highly recommend if you are in town for the day and want to walk around instead of sitting on a bus to learn about the area.

Average tour good for first time visitors
Tour was a bit unorganized. I followed the instructions on where to meet but they were not there. So I tried to contact them and got no response. So we went walking and eventually found them. Seemed like they had a lot more people than they expected. They split us into two groups and we were led by Keith. We were rushed because cruise ships were not docked for long. However I wish we spent more time in City Market. We want to see Trinity Church but that never happened. Keith was nice and corny funny and he did know and explained the architecture and history.

great walking tour of Saint John
Art was a great guide and local teacher and coach, so knew the history of the area well. It was fun to see the sights in this old, picturesque city.

Nice tour
Nice tour by a nice knowledgeable guide. It was difficult to hear him at times due to the size of the group and construction noise in some of the areas we visited. We did learn a lot about Saint John.
