Description

Your adventure kicks off with a convenient pick-up right from your downtown St. John’s hotel in one of our complimentary vehicles. As we drive, your guide will share stories and local insights en route to our first destination: Cape Spear Lighthouse National Historic Site. Perched on the easternmost tip of North America, this iconic lighthouse—Newfoundland’s oldest—offers breathtaking ocean views and a glimpse into maritime history.

From there, your best of St. John’s tour will take you for a narrated drive through the city. You’ll pass colorful Jellybean Row, the lively George Street, and venture into the charming fishing village of Quidi Vidi.

Next, we’ll journey up to Signal Hill National Historic Site, a place steeped in history. Not only was it the setting for the last battle of the Seven Years’ War in North America, but it’s also where Guglielmo Marconi famously received the first transatlantic wireless signal. While on the hill, you’ll have time to visit Cabot Tower and soak in panoramic views of the city and harbor.

Your best of St. John’s Newfoundland tour wraps up with a relaxing return to your hotel, leaving you with memories of a day filled with discovery and stunning scenery.

Leo, our guide was friendly and personable, very willing to please and helpful with our mobility needs. He was flexible and generous with the tour schedule and helped us to form a very favourable impression of Newfoundland. We were able to visit 8 places including Signal Hill and the Newfoundland lighthouses across a 4 hour period. Leo was able to speak with enthusiasm and pride about his adopted country. He was a safe and courteous driver. It was a pleasure to spend the morning with him. The tour we had was one of the highlights of our holiday. The people carrier car was also very comfortable for the three of us.

This was really good especially since I was the only one on this trip. The driver kindly picked me up at the cruise ship and due to a delay had to wait as the ship arrived later than expected. The driver was informative and helpful and I had as much time as I wanted. Also I now know a lot about the history of of St John’s. Thankyou

We thoroughly enjoyed our day in St. John’s with Keith. His enthusiasm and down home friendliness made is feel like we’d know him for years. Excellent tour of Cape Spear, Signal Hill ad Quidi Vidi Village. He also threw in some other interesting sights along the way. Thanks Keith, for making our short stay in St. John’s one we won’t forget.

If you’ve only got a weekend in St. John’s, this is the way to do it. Our guide was very knowledgeable, showed up on time (already five stars!) and whisked us around the city without the hassle of renting a car, even giving us extra time at the spots we loved most.
