Historical Tour of St. John's, NL - The entire tour was amazing, thanks to our Tour Guide, Mr Dave, who brought history to life with his knowledge of the island. I would highly recommend the tour and I will definitely sign up for it again on my next visit.

Great tour. - This was a great tour. The tour guide was very interesting. We were picked up at our Hotel. It was great to see all the main sights and historical buildings in St John's especially when we did not have a car.

A Personal Tour - It was a great experience. Jeff was just a wealth of knowledge. Very articulate and full of information. He is like “google”. Very thoughtful of his guests’ needs. It is a great tour since it is personal and small group. No stress and just plain fun. It is like having your own personal tour. Kudos to Jelly Bean Tours.

A tour for all to enjoy. - Loved every aspect of this tour. Dave picked us up and dropped us off at our Hotel. He also shared his vast knowledge about the city and the province. The weather started out a little cool and windy but gradually the sun came out and we ended with a lovely 3 hour tour. Signal Hill and Cape Spear provided lots of photo ops along with the fishing village stop. As Dave would say “ You now have a good base from which to go forward to explore further on your own” I think his said lay of the land but I knew what he meant. I highly recommend this tour. Thanks again Dave.

Great way to see sites outside of down town!! - The tour was everything we wanted! Our guide gave us interesting background info and accommodated with flexible timing. We saw so much and got some lovely photos. If you don’t have a car, this tour is perfect to get to sites outside of town. Great tour!
