A wonderful day for a Tour - What a wonderful, intimate tour! There was a small group of the three of us for our tour. John led a very professional, personable and friendly tour through St John’s, Cape Spear, Petty Harbour, Signal Hill, and Quidi Vidi. We were able to jump out of the van and explore on our own plus have the guided tour experience. As arrivals for a long weekend with no car, we wouldn’t have gotten to all the sites let alone learned about so much of the historical and present elements of the city and surrounding area without John! Thank you so much!

Exceptional Tour Company - This was more than we expected! Jeff our tour guide was punctual with pickup. So friendly and informative! As conversation progressed we discovered that we had at one time or another worked at the same place many years ago in Peace River, AB. Jeff is from here so very detailed sharing of the history, the people, the culture. Very impressed and highly recommended tour!

Jelly Bean Tours are for you! - Dave and Jerry were very knowledgeable and generous with time. We had a great over view of the charms that St John's and area has to offer. Many great interactions at each stop. We even saw a growler (baby iceberg).
