5Newfoundland!!!
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.
5St 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.
1Bad experience
No time set so had to finally give up waiting at pier and go with a city bus tour for another $35. I waited and kept asking at the street side at end of pier
1Worst experience
There never was anyone at the pier with any notification they were this tour and no time set on my ticket After walking back and forth for an hour I ended up paying the city of St. John bus service another 35$ to tour the city I’ll never use viator again
3Average 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.
5Great walking tour!
Keith was great. Entertaining and gave us a great overview of St. John. Found out about all kinds of historic buildings, wildlife, and other important sites.

About Saint John
Saint John is a historic port city on the Bay of Fundy in New Brunswick, known for its reversing falls, huge tides, covered market and Loyalist heritage.
Saint John stands at the mouth of the Saint John River, where the river meets the Bay of Fundy and its tides, among the highest in the world. At Reversing Falls, the incoming tide pushes through a narrow gorge and for a time forces the river to run upstream. Loyalists arrived from the United States in 1783, and Saint John was incorporated as a city in 1785, one of the oldest in the country.
