Amazing Introduction to Moncton and the Petitcodiac River - I really enjoyed my walking tour with Mark on the Petitcodiac River in Moncton. Mark is a wealth of knowledge and gave me an amazing overview of the history of Moncton and also the uniqueness of the tidal bore in the area. Being able to walk and talk to learn about the area at the beginning of my vacation allowed me to learn more about New Brunswick and the neighboring part of Nova Scotia and I am really appreciative of Mark's knowledge. He put my vacation into a lot of context and shaped the next few stops that I made while learning more about this really beautiful and unique part of the world. I totally would recommend the Petitcodiac River Walking Tour to anyone from someone that just wants to enjoy the beautiful scenery to the person that wants to learn as much as they can. Thank you!
