St. John's Downtown Walking Tour. - The knowledge of history our guide knew was incredible. The sights we saw were remarkable. We highly recommend this tour. Note: walking approximately 4 miles, a lot of which was up steep grades. Wear good foot ware.

Terrific time in St. John’s! - This was a very interesting tour- we were a mix of Canadians and Americans and Dave kept us all interested and amused about the historical and present facts and foibles! He was very humorous and we heard lots of little known incidents then and now. As well as the informative nature of the tour, it was also a workout- about 7,000 steps and the equivalent of 45 flights of stairs. Very well done!!

Recommended walking tour - We had a great tour with Bob. Very informative, and well organized. Decent mobility needed for this 2.5 hr walk, there were several hills and stairs. All together really enjoyable experience!

Great tour of St. John’s - Tour guide Dave was very informative, funny and knowledgeable. He grew up in St. John’s and had some details from family history which made the tour more interesting. Would definitely recommend.

Outstanding tour of historic St Johns. - The local history and stories were great, especially since David included family history into the discussions. It was a great walk up and down the hills of St. Johns. Even a couple in their late 70’s could handle. David appeared to be very knowledgeable about his topic. We both throughly enjoyed the day.

Excellent!! Would highly recommend. Arrive early and figure out the pkg. - Pierre was very knowledgeable about the history of St. John's. Enjoyed his sense of humour. He was very personable. The only downside was trying to find parking and couldn't get the meter to take my cc. Ended up with a $50 pkg ticket :(
