Great Experience - A well-informed guide with a friendly manner. The guide was knowledgeable and gave us anecdotes about important people in St. John and its history. Never felt rushed as stop-over spots allowed extra time to visit and enjoy.

Great local guide! - Cher was a delight! We went to many interesting places, she tailored the stops to my interests, and she was very knowledgeable about her city. Please support this small business. You'll be glad you did! Thanks for the memories Cher!!

Great tour by private car! - Great tour!!! Cher met us promptly at the terminal and took us to our driver Russ. They tailored the tour to what I requested to see and do. He even took pictures of us at every stop. We were able to see the whole city in a short amount of time. Highly reccomend!!

Great touring with Cher! - We had a fun, educational, and very enjoyable tour with Cher last week while visiting Saint John on a cruise with Royal Caribbean's Brilliance of the Seas. A very nice and comfortable mix of scenery, history, wildlife, the market, and of course the reversing rapids.

This Company Should Not Be on Viator - I do not recommend this tour. We arrived on time to meet Cher for the tour and she had been there with my name on a sign but left with another bigger group (more $$?) before we arrived. Cher did not return our calls or Viator support call. When I added a comment in Viator that someone else may have taken our tour and I suspected fraud, Cher texted over an hour later there had been a family accident and she would send someone else for us. We had already left with a taxi driver to try to save our tour day and saw her car on our tour with a sign Tours by Cher. I provided all of this information including her text message and a photo of the car to Viator and they gave us a refund. But the stress and aggravation is not refundable. This company should not be on Viator.
