Great time, tour and company - Here is the review I wrote, but it did not allow me to leave a detailed review, without logging in as you, which I can’t do. So can you copy an paste this as my feedback and review for the bike tour I took? Thanks! The bike tour I purchased in Halifax Nova Scotia via Viator turned out to be my favorite part of my 9-Day Canada cruise. The meetup location for the biking tour that I booked was a 45 min walk away from my cruise ship port. Since I miscalculated the walking distance to the meeting point, I was unable to make the tour. However, when I contacted them later that day, the folks at the touring company who went above and beyond to make sure that I had a great experience. They not only rescheduled me for the next day, but they came to the ship port to pick me up. Once I arrived at the meeting location, I met my bike tour guide (Doug), it turns out I got a 1-on-1 biking tour. As if that were not enough, Doug also became my photographer, helping me capture great pictures from throughout the tour. Doug was very knowledgeable and very professional and ended the tour by cycling back with me to the ship to make sure I made it back onboard in time before the ship departed. I had a great time and will book another tour with them via Viator gain when every I return to Canada.

Fun bike in Saint John - Great tour company! Our ship was delayed due to a medical emergency but the tour company waited an hour and still took us out! Our tour guide was very friendly and informative. We biked some hilly roads with beautiful architecture and views of the port. We enjoyed a delicious beer and pleasant conversation at Moosehead brewery. My husband dropped his hat at the beginning of the tour but our guide found it later and the company delivered it to a location near us so we could retrieve it! Great customer service!

A journey through history - One of the most memorable parts of this tour was exploring the mansions and learning about the community, the rich history and stunning architecture or captivating, but what truly stood out was the deeper connection to the people and stories that shape the area. It left a lasting impression making this experience truly unforgettable.

Great Bike Tour - This is an excellent tour. The tour operators are super friendly and helpful. The communication is great. By the end of the day touring with Darren, we felt like we spent a day biking with an old friend.

Excellent bike tour! - Great bike tour! Darren was an excellent guide- a wealth of historical and scientific knowledge and he was great in terms of the actual biking. He prepared us for what we would encounter on the road- hills, turns, etc. The stop at Moosehead brewery was the perfect almost ending to the tour. Highly recommend this bike experience!!!

Hybred doesn’t mean e bike - On our end we thought hybred bikes were e bikes. These gentlemen were awesome and rolled with the tide. Gave us a wonderful tour but will say remember your last bike ride and Saint John is hills on the ocean. Be prepared for moderate hills. Thank you.

Great way to see the local highlights - This company is wonderful: Wanda was so helpful beforehand with answering questions and handling Viator issues (booking the right-sized bike can be tricky). Darren, our guide, was personable, friendly, knowledgeable, patient (lots of hills around the area) and easy to interact with. St. John doesn’t have a tremendous amount to see, but that being said, that’s not the fault of the company. We were happy to see the available sights on a bike rather than by sitting on a bus. Much more interesting and interactive. Thanks for a fun afternoon!
