Faboulous - David our tour guide kept us so informed and entertained throughout the 2.5 hours of this tour. His knowledge of the history of St John and Newfoundland was incredible and his pride in being a native son is so prevalent. Highly recommended!!

A perfect and superb insight of St John’s. Not to be missed. - Excellent historic St John’s tour with David Peters. A superb raconteur with a broad historical knowledge and up to date views on all aspects of life in the past and present of Newfoundland,particularly St John’s. The use of a microphone was so welcome as it was a large group and this meant everyone could hear very well. We felt it was excellent value and gave us so much information on this lovely city.

Fantastic tour! - When travelling we typically start day one with a walking tour and wow cannot say enough good things about this tour!!!! While it was our first day in St.John's and the temps were not exactly warm it did not hamper the enjoyment factor of seeing and learning so much about St. John's and Nfld. Dave Peters our guide really made it extra special and this tour is worth every nickel and a fantastic way to get to know St. John's, it's rich history as well as Nfld's history. Dress appropriately (layers) and good walking shoes then go out and enjoy the city.
