Amazing windy adventure - Out excursion with George was great and very enjoyable. The weather was amazing and I enjoyed the small group experience. George took us to all the main spots and I liked the added bonus of Portugal Cove and lunch. I’d highly recommend George for a great excursion.

Book this tour now! - Just an excellent experience to have enjoyed during our trip to St. John's. George is engaging and knowledgeable, and the spot we went for lunch was fantastic. We learned so much about the area and saw things we never would have on our own. Very highly recommend!

Lady likes a trip - George was a blast!! Using humor and education made our 4 hours fly by! Lunch was fabulous …and I don’t eat fish but I did at this place. Love the family vibe and island friendliness. This was the highlight of our trip! Thanks, George!

Highly recommend this tour - Thanks to our driver, Larry, we had a fabulous day seeing the sights around St. John's. (It didn't hurt that the weather was absolutely perfect!). Larry didn't rush us as we toured the important places near St. John's (Quidi Vidi, Cape Spear, Signal Hill, etc.) Lunch at a local dining spot serving up fish and chips - delicious! If the weather isn't great, bring a rain jacket/wind breaker as it is usually quite windy and cool, especially at this time of year.
