  • 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!

Exceptional tour with a wonderful host - What a great day we had with our host George. Despite having a bad weather day we learned so much about this great province. The history and incredible sites that we visited made the 4 plus hours go by too quickly. Get George to tell you about his theatrical experience. What a diverse and diverse life he has led. Highly recommend this tour.

Excellent Time - George was a knowledgeable and personable guide. His narrative had just the right mix of history of the places visited and personal experience with those places. He was a solicitous and considerate host, answering all questions. We saw places off the beaten path that we wouldn't have considered going to ourselves. The weather the day we went out with him started out pretty foggy and gloomy but finished with brilliant blue sky and warm sun. Picture perfect!

Wonderful day, - We enjoyed every minute of our day. From the moment we were picked up, we were enjoying ourselves. George made a rainy, blustery day fun. We didn’t get to see the stunning St. John’s scenery, but we learned about the area, and life on the island. George’s love for the area is contagious. We had a great lunch of some of the best fish and chips, tried pineapple soda, and listened to the rolling rocks on the beach.

What an Opportunity! This is a Must! - Our friends chose George and we lucked out to be a part of the 4 hour party! George knows St Johns like the back of his hand. While driving around and stopping at notable haunts we delighted in George's own intriguing personal history as well as learning about St Johns. Don't miss this fun and informative tour. As someone not from these parts, I learned so much and felt completely comfortable and safe! We had a lovely group of 6 including George and it was just perfect! Thank you so much for brining the sunshine today George! Hope our paths cross again!

Come From Away - a tour you won’t want to miss! - First time visit to Nfld. So glad we booked a tour with George. He was accommodating, knowledgeable and very interactive. Would recommend this tour to anyone wanting to fall in love with the St. John’s area. It’s obvious that George truly loves Nfld and wants to share the beauty of this breathtaking island.
