St John’s - A great place to visit, stay and play! - Tim, our guide, was well versed relative to the history of St John’s as well as the province of Newfoundland. The tour gave a good sense of the historic downtown, with added local lore. We appreciated Tim’s attention to safety and pace (senior couple). Over all we were very pleased with this tour. The cost was reasonable and well worth it. Thank you.
