Fun guide. Very...
Fun guide. Very knowledgeable. Enough rest room stops. Stopped at ice cream store that was fabulous except guide said, “my treat”. Which we Americans assumed he was treating us. Didn’t happen. He simply meant it was “his” favorite treat. Disappointed that there was no snack or water offered as described in the ad.
Operator response
Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback. We’re very happy to hear that you enjoyed your guide, found him knowledgeable, and appreciated the regular restroom stops and ice cream stop.
We’re sorry for the misunderstanding regarding the phrase “my treat.” We understand how that wording could have been interpreted differently, and we apologize for any confusion or disappointment.
We also apologize that the included water and snacks were not provided as expected. This is something we take seriously, and we will remind our guides to ensure that these inclusions are clearly provided to every guest.
Thank you again for bringing this to our attention. Your feedback helps us improve our service and provide a better experience for future guests.

Henry will make your Saint John day fun and memorable!
Our small group was led by Henry in his van, and we learned so much! We started at the reversing falls, only to return there at the end of the day to see the water going the other way. We saw many neat attractions (forts, lighthouses) on our way out to the Bay of Fundy. We had a great lunch at The Caves restaurant (Huge serving of delicious fish and chips) and then the trip back.
Many informative and beautiful stops, and a surprise ... Henry made a song about our trip including places we saw and all our names.
Henry is a delightful enterpreneur who will make your day in Saint John perfect!

We’re delighted that you enjoyed exploring Saint John and the Bay of Fundy with us, especially experiencing the Reversing Falls at the beginning and again at the end of the day to see the dramatic change in the water.
It was a pleasure showing your group the forts, lighthouses, coastal scenery, and other highlights along the way. We’re also happy to hear you enjoyed lunch at The Caves!
And of course, I’m so glad you enjoyed the little song I created for your group. 😊 It was a fun way to remember all the places we visited and the wonderful people I had the pleasure of guiding.

Long day, but worth...
Long day, but worth seeing reversing falls and Bay of Fundy. Wear good walking shoes since rocks on the Bay are very uneven and shift when stepping on.
Operator response
Thank you very much for taking the time to share your experience and helpful feedback.
We’re delighted to hear that you felt the Reversing Falls and Bay of Fundy were worth the journey. The coastal areas around the Bay of Fundy are truly unique, and the changing tides and rugged shoreline make the experience especially memorable.
We also appreciate your helpful recommendation about wearing comfortable, sturdy walking shoes. The shoreline can be uneven and rocky, so proper footwear is definitely important for guests exploring the area.
