    PICKUP TIMES START PRIOR TO TOUR START TIME. PLEASE LOOK FOR YOUR PICKUP TIME BELOW AND SELECT YOUR PICKUP LOCATION. OTHERWISE WE WILL NOT PICK YOU UP PLEASE NOTE WE ARE IN NEWFOUNDLAND NOT NEW BRUNSWICK. St. John New Brunswick is a different town which is roughly 1000 KM away. Pickup time depends on the location of pickup. We pick up prior to the listed departure time, a set amount of time- see list below. As an example of how this works, for a 9:30 tour, if the hotel listed says "30 minutes prior to departure," that means we should be there to pick you up right around 9:00 am. We will pick you up just outside of the lobby of each of the hotels unless otherwise specified. ALT Hotel – 15 minutes prior to tour departure Bannerman Park Suites – 20 minutes prior to tour departure Best Western – 45 minutes prior to tour departure Capital Hotel - 45 minutes prior to tour departure Comfort Inn - 45 minutes prior to tour departure Compton House - 10 minutes prior to tour departure Courtyard by Marriott - 20 minutes prior to tour departure Delta - 10 minutes prior to tour departure *Pickup from Lower Lobby* DoubleTree - 20 minutes prior to tour departure *Pickup from Lower Lobby* Duckworth Hotel – 15 minutes prior to tour departure Extended Stay - 5 minutes prior to tour departure Fairfield Inn - 45 minutes prior to tour departure Franklin Hotel - 15 minutes prior to tour departure Gower Guest House – 15 minutes prior to tour departure Hampton Inn and Suites - 45 minutes prior to tour departure Hilton Garden Inn - 10 minutes prior to tour departure Holiday Inn Express - 45 minutes prior to tour departure Holiday Inn Portugal Cove Road - 40 minutes prior to tour departure Homeport Hotel – 40 minutes prior to tour departure Hometel on Signal Hill - 25 minutes prior to tour departure Jag Hotel - 10 minutes prior to tour departure Leaside Manor - 5 minutes prior to tour departure Mallard Cottage – 25 minutes prior to tour departure Memorial University (MacPherson College) - 30 minutes prior to tour departure Monastery Spa and Suites – 5 minutes prior to tour departure Murray Premises - 15 minutes prior to tour departure Narrows B&B - 15 minutes prior to tour departure Pippy Park (Main Entrance) - 30 minutes prior to tour departure Ramada - 45 minutes prior to tour departure Sandman Signature – 45 minutes prior to tour departure Sheraton Hotel - 20 minutes prior to tour departure Super 8 Hotel - 40 minutes prior to tour departure The Roses B&B - 20 minutes prior to tour departure The Rooms - 30 minutes prior to tour departure Visitor Information Centre - 15 minutes prior to tour departure

    Beware

    It’s not a boat tour it’s a bus, maybe you have motion sickness like me so I would have been prepared, like I need the front seat

    Response from Host, Aug 2025

    Hi Susan, Thank you for your comments. We do try to make it clear that it is a bus tour not a boat tour, however we will certainly try to make that more clear in future. From your email message I was glad to hear that you enjoyed your tour with us otherwise. All the best, The McCarthy's Party Team

    Fun and knowledgeable...

    Fun and knowledgeable tour guide (Steve) and a well paced visit to all the beautiful sites. Lunch was lovely, and the restaurant staff were very welcoming.

    Zeker de moeite waard!
