Pierre was very knowledgeable about the history of St. John's. Enjoyed his sense of humour. He was very personable. The only downside was trying to find parking and couldn't get the meter to take my cc. Ended up with a $50 pkg ticket :(

As an experienced traveler I expect some setbacks along the way. What I do not expect is utter disrespect and blatant unfairness. Months before my trip I signed up for 2 of these tours in English and paid for both so that if my flight arrived too late for the Saturday p.m. tour, I would have Sunday morning as an option before flying out. I wanted to make best use of my 24 hours in St John's. I communicated directly with the tour operator about this, so he understood and was onboard. He offered to charge me for just the tour I took. Fair enough. Turned out my Saturday flight was delayed so I missed that tour. No problem, I thought. I arrived early on Sunday and took photos while waiting for the tour to start. Then 4 French speaking people arrived, some of whom understood English. The tour guide who arrived was clearly fluent in both English and French. I was informed the tour would be in French because I was the only one who signed up for English. They would issue me a refund. I said I didn't want a refund. I wanted what I paid for and was guaranteed. Whatever happened to "First in Time is First in Right? I would have been content to have a bilingual tour but after 15 minutes of solid French, which I did not understand, I just walked away. He didn't even throw me a few crumbs in English. I was white hot about this. I was granted a refund. Big deal. So, beware folks. If they can treat me like that, they can do it to you too!

Very informative and personalized. Walking was done at a comfortable pace. It is evident the guide is well informed and very capable of explaining important facts mixed with humour and personal experiences. Very pleasant and polite
