Personal Tour - The tour was very informative as our driver was great. We had a great time and saw some beautiful sites. I loved that the driver picked us up from our hotel and dropped us back there when finished and supplied a car seat for the 3 yr old. The van was comfortable as there was just our family of 7 so it was a truly personal tour. Unfortunate that it was quite foggy up at the lighthouses that day but excellent nonetheless. Thank you,

4 thumbs up! - It was an absolute gem of a tour! Dave, our driver/tour guide, was knowledgeable, accommodating, and super friendly. All the tour stops had great (some, amazing) picture moments and it was helpful when Dave offered to take some of them of my husband and me. Would definitely recommend this tour if you don’t have a car to drive around yourself—but even if you do, this tour helps you scout out which locations may be worth it to come back to. We found ourselves wanting to stay in Cape Spear a little longer. The tour van itself was very comfortable and roomy, and also, that cold bottle of water Dave offers sure does come in handy after the stop in Cape Spear! A bonus was the other guests on the tour—everyone was super nice!! It was a great overview and intimate tour for a smaller group. 5/5!!!!

Wonderful Tour covering Highlights! - We were a group of 8 in downtown St. John’s NL. We got picked up and Geoffrey took excellent care of us. Saw all the sights and heard all the history and stories. Highly recommend if you want to see the highlights and don’t have a car. Thanks Geoffrey for a wonderful afternoon❣️

Great trip - Booked direct rather than use the Cruise Ship trips and we were not disappointed. We were met on time and had great driver who guided us around the island. I would not hesitate to recommend .....oh and thank you for the free candy😀

Breathtaking scenery and Newfoundland charm - Great half day seeing the sites in and around St. John’s. The guide was engaging and funny, the van was comfortable and really liked the small group format. We came away with a lot better feel for the city and its environs.

Great tour guide - Jeff was very informative and we saw quite a bit of St.John’s without having to drive ourselves around the city

A very average trip. - Ten minutes at Signal Hill was not nearly enough. Very little information about history. By the way, the war didn’t end in 1951!
