A great walking tour of St. John’s! - Sam was an excellent tour guide. The tour went for 2 1/2 hours…probably could have been shortened a bit, but overall great stories and history and even some songs! Definitely recommend! It is a 2 1/2 hours tour and some steep hills, so be fit and bring your good walking shoes!
