Highlights
  • Cape Spear Lighthouse National Historic Site - For a moment, you’ll be the easternmost person in North America. We’ll experience the power of the wild North Atlantic crashing against the rocks, the historical points of interest including the massive cannons installed to defend North America in WW2, and ascend to the lighthouse, with the most spectacular views anywhere.
  • Petty Harbour - Just outside of St. John’s is the quaint, working fishing village of Petty Harbour, home to Great Big Sea singer Alan Doyle,
  • Portugal Cove-St. Philip’s - An off the beaten path coastal town on the Conception Bay shore overlooking the beauty of Bell Island,. Here we’ll stop for a feed of freshly caught seafood cooked up by the locals at By the Beach.
  • Signal Hill - We’ll ascend iconic Signal Hill, home to Cabot Tower, with unparalleled views of St. John’s, her harbour, the North Atlantic Ocean, Fort Amherst, and Cape Spear. From up here, we can see for miles!
  • Quidi Vidi - We’ll stop here towards the end of the tour should we have time. We usually have time:)

Off the beaten path - I had a wonderful time on this tour! Deneen took over for George who was out of town when I was in St. John's. She drove me from town to town and gave me a behind the scenes tour of all our stops. I was very impressed that instead of cancelling because I was the only participant that day, they chose to give me a "private" tour. It was a great way to see St. John's and the surrounding areas "off the beaten path". Money well spent!

Fun Experience to explore St. John’s - We had a great time. George contacted us ahead of time to let us know Dee could do the tour since he was out of town. Dee took us on a tour to all of the local spots to see in St. John’s and was very knowledgeable. The tour was semi-private as it was just the two of us, 1 other delightful tourist and Dee. We had a great time and definitely would recommend the experience. The fish and chips was great too!

Best tour hands down! - I had the best time on this tour, George was so hospitable and you could tell how much he really loved the land. It was really crumby weather but even with that I had the best time and learned a ton about Newfoundland. I would HIGHLY recommend this tour for anyone and everyone, worth every cent.

Definitely a highlight of our trip to St John's! Recommend 100%! - George created a wonderful experience for a group of colleagues from across Canada. We were picked at our hotel and he kept us entertained for over 4 hours! We saw the key sites and enjoyed the tales and laughed (a lot) and ate and took pics and gave us a taste of this amazing place. Definitely a highlight of our trip to St John's and I'd recommend 100%!

The best. Highly recommend! - The tour is great, and the scenery is breathtaking…but what really makes this tour special is the host, George. If you have the honour of spending any time at all with George, you will notice immediately that he genuinely values making connections with people. His ability to connect, coupled with his love of this place that radiates from the absolute bottomless depths of his heart, just makes you feel so welcome and cared for. Because of this, I didn’t feel like an outsider in a new, strange place…but more like a long lost relative, being welcomed home after too long away. I absolutely recommend this tour. PS-the fish and chips (with dressing and gravy) are the perfect cure for a long night spent on George street. ;)

will come back - Experiencing Newfoundland for the first time with George was our week's highlight. His love for this part of the world resulted in an informative, amiable tour, safely driven. The "Newfie poutine" lunch on the beach of Conception Bay was yummy and unique from other St John's excursions. Thanks George! cya for sure when we "come from away" again! Joe & Carl

Fun and educational - The tour was great! George picked us up at our location which was so convenient. We’ve been here many times before but we learned so many new things. He gave us context, history, facts, and local lore that we hadn’t known. He was flexible, thoughtful, easy going and friendly. The sites we went to were representative of St. John’s best - the perfect way to see a lot of St John’s at one time. The fish and chips was fabulous. We would highly recommend the tour and enjoy sharing the experience with other family when we can.
