2.00The car was too small for the four guests that were in the car. We were stuffed in the car & had to sit sideways to fit. It was difficult to get in and out of the car. When we booked the tour, they said it would accompany up to seven people. The tour guide, though personable, seemed more interested in talking about sports teams, instead of giving us the history and facts of the visited sites. Even though we didn’t mention finishing quickly, he mentioned it several times and seemed to want to end the tour sooner than the published length of the tour.
Top notch tour and guide

5.00Keith was a fantastic tour guide. He’s from St. John’s so his knowledge of the island and its history is second to none. He was very accommodating throughout the tour and made sure I felt like a ViP. St. John’s is special and Keith was a phenomenal tour guide. Highly recommend this tour!

4.00I had high hopes for this excursion. Unfortunately the weather was foggy and rainy and could not see much. This is to be expected in this area. If I’ve had more time, I would have rebooked for a sunny day. Keith, the tour guy was very knowledgeable of the area and did his best to cheer things up. I particularly enjoyed the info about the history surrounding WW2 and the part St. John’s played. A big thank you to Keith for making a stop at a drugstore to allow me to buy some anti acid medication. Much much appreciated, as it made my journey back home much more tolerable.

5.00Wonderful day with our driver/ tour guide Keith. His enthusiasm and obvious pride in his home town made this a memorable experience. Keith showed us many areas and sites not listed in the tour description, but very interesting. Thank you Keith for making our day in St. John’s a day we won’t forget.
A good beginning to the area around St John's

3.00Quidi Vidi is an ok site but overrated in my opinion. Signal Hill is worth the climb especially if you have a tour guide who has given you the background to the history of the area.

1.00Showed up at pickup spot one mile from ship. About ten others there. All had small van pickup. Then just us and one other couple. Then told excursion was cancelled! Two days prior had reminder that all was good. Got email sbout 4 hours later letting us know. Was not a good experience. Did spots wanted with Uber which ended up being cheaper and more efficient.
