It’s a wonderful tour! George has done an amazing job! My whole family are very happy and keep saying they would like to come back for another trip in the summer! Thank you so much!

I recently booked George’s tour of St. John’s Newfoundland, and it was an unforgettable experience! His knowledge, passion, and storytelling truly had a positive impact on my experience and definitely give me a different kind of respect for the history and what the city has to offer. I had the luxury of having a private tour due to fewer tourists this time of year, which allowed me to experience St. John’s in a truly unique and extraordinary way. We visited iconic places like Cape Spear, Signal Hill, Petty Harbour, Quidi Vidi, and Portugal Cove. My favourite of them all was Petty Harbour by far. After my tour with George, I went back to Petty Harbour another four times before the end of my trip because I couldn’t get enough of how beautiful the coastal fishing village is. George took his time to answer all my questions and even revealed some hidden gems that I wouldn’t have discovered on my own. He’s one of the only guides if not the only one who runs year-round, which speaks volumes about his dedication and commitment, no matter the season. I referred to him as “the guy out here” because of his great passion for the city and how knowledgeable he is about it. I will definitely be recommending George’s Tours to anyone I know who plans on visiting St. John’s looking to tour the city as well. Keep up the great work, George. Till next time. Rob

George was away but Deneen took very good care of us and the Honda mini van was super comfortable. Deneen was delightful and taught me the names of some plants and how they could be used for food and materials. The fish and chips were excellent, and Deneen dropped me off at a grocery store at my request at the end. Bring some cash so you can give your guide a proper tip at the end!

The prior reviews are accurate: George is an excellent tour guide, and we had a great time with him seeing some of the top sites in St. John's. His only downside is that he's not a longtime Newfoundlander — but he knows the local history and culture quite well. (We did a different half-day tour the next day with a different guide, not on Viator, who is longtime Newfoundlander, so we got different perspectives from each.) The upside is that as a longtime actor, he views his tours almost as performances (in only the best ways imaginable), and he engages personally with each of his guests. If after only 4-5 hours together, you want to hug your tour guide and feel sorry to see him go, then he's been very successful in creating a meaningful tour experience! (Oh, and the fish-and-chips lunch, in an off-the-beaten-path, small local seaside restaurant, is as good as advertised: best fish and chips around.) I should note that George now has a partner doing some of the tours, so you'd get a different experience but, I expect, an equally good tour.

George was a fabulous host and guide. Personable. Knowledgeable. His love for St. John's and her people was obvious and contagious.
