Informative and nicely paced. Learned more about St John’s history. Uphill walk until the end but not a problem
Great tour with the guide Isaac and a couple from Manitoba. We chose the tour in English. We learned many things and it was very relaxed . We had a nice afternoon and we recommend this tour.
The tour guide, William, did a great job explaining the history and answering all of my questions. Great intro to St. John’s.
Our guide was excellent and I learned a lot about the city and province.
We have requested a refund as my cousin could not complete the tour because of her sprained knee that occurred the day before Isaac our tour guide said he would also request a refund for it. I have not yet heard back from you about our refund We only walked 19 mins of the tour. Sue Valentine
