A tour for all to enjoy. - Loved every aspect of this tour. Dave picked us up and dropped us off at our Hotel. He also shared his vast knowledge about the city and the province. The weather started out a little cool and windy but gradually the sun came out and we ended with a lovely 3 hour tour. Signal Hill and Cape Spear provided lots of photo ops along with the fishing village stop. As Dave would say “ You now have a good base from which to go forward to explore further on your own” I think his said lay of the land but I knew what he meant. I highly recommend this tour. Thanks again Dave.

Great way to see sites outside of down town!! - The tour was everything we wanted! Our guide gave us interesting background info and accommodated with flexible timing. We saw so much and got some lovely photos. If you don’t have a car, this tour is perfect to get to sites outside of town. Great tour!

Amazing tour! - We had an awesome time on this tour. Ken was extremely knowledgeable of the area and took us to some unique places we would not have seen if it wasn’t for this tour. I would highly recommend anyone coming to visit to take this tour. You see so many things and interesting places in a short period of time.
