Beautiful Tour of Saint John! - We finally made it to the famous Bay of Fundy after being weathered out twice. Very happy to have our guide for all the Tides explanations. Might have missed nature at her craziest without him. The fresh and delicious fish and chips were quite expensive but that's a tourist spot for you. Don't expect a glut of tourist items for purchase. Good walking shoes a must. High recommend the visit.

Best Bay of Fundy Tour! - The highlight of this tour was seeing the reversal of the Saint John River at low and high tides. Our guide explained how and when this happens and we went there in the morning and later in the day to see it first hand. In between we went to the Bay of Fundy. It was amazing to see and learn about how much the tide changes. Overall this was a great day.

Wonderful Tour ! - We had a great adventure. Our tour guide Keith was very informative and took the time to get to know a little about his guests. We got to see the reversing tides, incoming and later outgoing. The driver, Greg, worked well with Keith and both kept us very entertained. St Martin was awesome and we were able to see the sea caves. The Cave restaurant was great, good chowder and fish n' chips. Then we topped it off with a nice ice cream at the Octopus ice cream shop. They got us back to the ship with time to spare. All in all a wonderful excursion. I would recommend this to anyone!

Great tour in Saint John! - Great tour of St. John! Our guide Keith was amazing, he was entertaining and very knowledgeable with the Bay of Fundy's history and surrounding areas. The trip took us to the Reversing Falls Rapids, in the beginning of the tour we stopped to take photos to see how fast the rapids were traveling. Then it was off to see the small village of St. Martins. A very small village on the coast with wood covered bridges that was a time warp in the past. Beautiful scenery! On the way back to our ship, we stopped again at the Reversing Falls Rapids to see the rapids reversed direction and were now flowing in the opposite direction! Amazing to see!!

We were a very small... - We were a very small group of 5 people. We had a general itinerary that was flexible according to where the group wanted to spend time. One of the primary highlights we made sure to see were two visits a few hours between of Reversing Falls to see the change in the water due to the tide. Also, we visit the caves at St. Martin's. They have a seafood shack there were I had the freshest haddock fish and chips.

Reversing Rapids and Caves - The good part was visiting the reversing falls at two different times and seeing the flow going in different directions. Amazing! The drive to the caves was bland but the caves were nice. Fortunately I had proper shoes to cross the creek to get to the caves. The tide needs to be halfway out or more to access the caves, and water shoes are recommended at the site. Due to the hour long bus ride, this is not a ride for small children (motion sickness alert). Take a snack as the food wait at the caves is long.

Poorly planned. - Bus driver drove too fast around curves and we felt unsafe. Tour guide was very nice but wasn't well prepared. Bay of Fundy stop was so crowded we were unable to get lunch.

Avoid this tour operator - Definitely not a worry free shore excursion..pickup at cruise port scheduled for 1 but tour left at 12:30 PM ..Driver returned after my call and wanted my wife and I to sit in the 3rd row seats of an SUV..no way for 4-5 hour tour since I am 6’2’…driver requested a previous bus tour wait 15 minutes until he could drop us off..30 plus bus passengers not happy with delay…bus tour guide was a nice older woman but added little in terms of comment ..bus driver stopped to see a lighthouse and covered bridge and forgot to tell the passengers he was parking the bus a quarter of a mile down the road.. we finally found the bus after searching.. since the tour was running late the tour guide and bus driver we’re going to skip the final stop at the reversing Falls but passengers rebelled so they decided to only stop for 10 minutes at the destination, which was the highlight of the tour

Over Promised, Way Under Delivered - This was a very expensive taxi ride essentially. We were expecting to learn about this beautiful land but a family member and Google gave us more information than Abdul, our guide. Definitely not worth it. Walk around town, eat some lobster, and thank us for steering you in another direction! Disappointed.
