Discover Newfoundland, with Newfoundlanders!
Become acquainted with the city of St. John's and its surroundings, including Cape Spear, the most Easterly point in North America. Your local guide will regale you with its steeped history, legends & lore - all flavored with personal anecdotes and good humor for which Newfoundlanders are so famous.
Enjoy the brilliant vistas from Cabot Tower and Signal Hill, one of the most recognizable skylines in Canada. Walk through a cliffside World War II gun battery, watch for whales and seabirds, and visit the oldest standing lighthouse in the province. Other sights include Quidi Vidi Village, Jelly Bean Row, Government House, the Roman Catholic Basilica, and an orientation of the shops and restaurants of the downtown core.
Please note that Newfoundland and New Brunswick are different places- there are two towns with similar names- St. John New Brunswick and St. John's Newfoundland. We are in Newfoundland and do not run tours in NB.

This tour was great value compared to the cruise ship price, and was available to us, we booked ahead of the cruise. We went to Cape Spear, Petty Harbor, signal Hill/Cabot Tower, Quidi Vidi and around St.John’s in a mini-van. Our driver Steve was also our tour guide and he was most entertaining, informative and he even sang to us! A wonderful 3 hour tour. I highly .recommend.

It was worth the cost. We saw many things. Learned about the"new" language of the newfoundland people. Good times.
