Forgot That It Was A Tour - My time with Deneen was delightful. The time of year and the presence of snow/ice made an actual hike impossible - yet Deneen arranged for us to check out a few nearby fishing villages. She was super personable, kind, very generous and I sincerely forgot that I was even on a tour - it felt like I was talking to a friend. Communication was superb, she picked me up at my hotel and dropped me off at the airport after. My tour with George - her partner - a few days ago was phenomenal. And my time with Deneen was equally as rich. Will definitely be back… when it’s warmer!

Winter fun with Deneen! - Due to weather our tour option had to change, but Deneen created an amazing Plan B. We toured a less traveled coastline of Newfoundland and the views didn’t disappoint. She shared the history and taught us a couple of fun words/phrases to sound like a local. If you’re looking for an intimate and unique tour, go with Deneen.

Not just a rock - Very personalized experience. Deneen listened carefully and was sensitive to my possible physical limitations, like sore knees. Very knowledgeable about the area. Newfoundland is more than a rock. Tons of interesting plant life including trees and flowers and berries of all kinds.

- If you are ever lucky enough to go on a coastal tour with Deneen, magic will happen from the minute you meet her. She will bring you to the most incredible coastlines and give you insight into the area and you will leave feeling like you made a new friend. I highly recommend her coastal tour!

Awesome hike! - I really enjoyed this morning with Deneen! We went to a local breakfast spot (the touton was delicious) and then to some gorgeous lookout spots on the way to our coastal hike. Deneen is so kind and easy to talk to, and the hike was incredibly beautiful. Highly recommend this experience!

Go off the beaten tourist path! - Deneen was such a knowledgeable guide and we saw many "off the beaten path" parts of the island. It was a great experience!

Nice short day - deneen was great, showed us some nice spots, excellent guide. I think what I paid for 380 for 2 of us was for a hike and lunch and 6 hours as advertised, but got a 1 hour hike, no lunch about 3.5 hours in total. It looks like cost should of been 218, not 380 so not impressed with that.
