5-Star Review for Steve's Saint John Tour - Steve was an outstanding tour guide in Saint John. His knowledge of the city's history, culture, and landmarks made the experience both informative and enjoyable. He shared interesting stories and local insights that brought the area to life and helped us appreciate the unique character of the city.
What stood out most was Steve's enthusiasm and professionalism. He kept the tour engaging, welcomed questions, and made sure everyone felt included. His recommendations for local restaurants and attractions were also spot on.
If you're visiting Saint John and want a great overview of the city from someone who clearly loves what he does, I highly recommend taking a tour with Steve. It was one of the highlights of our trip. ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

Our Saint John tour with... - Our Saint John tour with Steve exceeded our expectations! Steve is a "larger than life" kind of guy and very knowledgeable and exceptionally entertaining. We learned a great deal about Saint John and the Bay of Fundy, and we ventured farther into the lovely surrounding countryside than anticipated. Our exploration was totally enjoyable and educational, and our lunch (cost not included) near The Caves at St. Martin's was a tasty and picturesque pause in the journey.

Interesting tour - Steve was a knowledgeable guide and great character. Brought humour to the tour. The caves at The Bay of Fundy and restaurant overlooking them was my favourite.

10/10 Best Tour & Tour Guide Ever! - Could have never imagined what a great experience this would be when I stumbled upon it online!!!
We chose this as an excursion for a cruise stop in Saint John & after we found the bus at the terminal, we were in for a treat!
Abdul was the best tour guide we have ever had in all of our travels! Simply amazing how he made the place come alive and took time to stop and explain what we were seeing at Reversal Falls. Stopped to show us again on the way home to allow us to see a river flowing the OPPosite Direction!!! Someone who loves where they live can’t help but overflow with excitement in sharing important facts and that’s the best way I can describe having Abdul for your tour guide!! We would love to be on his tour if we return to St John & Bay of Fundy!!
Super Fun was being taken to St Martin to walk on the sea floor and go into the caves accessible when the tide goes out. The restaurant was terrific for possibly perfect fish for our lunch!!
Being in a smaller bus, we also stopped at a light house and got to walk out onto the land revealed when the tide went out! Taking photos down there of the cliffs looking back was a once in a lifetime experience for my husband & me!
10/10 recommend the Octopus Ice Cream Shop in St Martin where we stopped to take pictures of the covered bridges & the boats sitting “on dry land!” Ice cream was delicious!!
This was the best tour, comfy bus, great price, wonderful explanations & made our trip to Saint John be the highlight of Canada New England in the Fall Cruise!

The description of the planned route should be revised - The Viator route described the following route but we only made points 1 and 5:
1- Reversing Falls Rapids: we made one stop in the morning and another at the end of the day to find that the direction of the river was reversed
2- Fort Howe National Historic Site of Canada: did not make this stop
3- Carleton Martello Tower: did not make this stop
4- Saint John City Market: did not make this stop
5- Bay Of Fundy: along the Scenic Way we stopped at a lighthouse, wooden bridge, waterfront and Lobster Cove, but did not visit any sea cave as described
When we passed the City Market, I asked why we didn't stop as planned.... Steve told me that he could leave me there if I wanted to go and that I would have to manage to get back to the port which was about a 15-minute walk away

Bad experience - Driver/tour operator was a no show. Had a confirmed ticked purchased well in advance. Followed all instructions on the ticket. No driver/tour/bus operator at cruise port. ( i spoke with another local tour operators and showed my Viator ticket and they informed me that I was on a tour operated by "Abdul with Shore Things") I messaged the tour operator in the app with no response, then called tour operator with no response. I then messaged Viator: they also attempted to call tour operator and they as well were unsuccessful. 5 hours after tour was supposed to take place, Tour operator still had not returned my call nor had he got in touch with Viator to return their call. That is not how a tour should be handled.
Do not book this tour. Still waiting for a phone call or answer as to why he didn't show....... read the reviews: I am not the first time this has happened.
Lucky when attempted to find tour operator another tour group told me to hop on their bus (Hugo tours?) I was very satisfied with them and wish I would have booked with them the first time around.
