George was such an engaging guide. He made sure to connect us with other tour guests and tie in our personal interests from our own homes. He is very knowledgeable of St. John's history and area hot spots. Cod Lunch at a "locals" waterview diner was an added bonus. Enjoyed our time with guide, guests and tour of St. JOHN.

Our tour host, George has an insightful presentation that he delivers in an guenuine and entertaining way. His background knowledge is exceptional and he is very proud to a part of the amazing Newfoundland community.

Fun tour! George is a riot. He provides allot of historical facts without being boring. Only 5 people on our tour. Fish dinner was amazing. Three days later and we are still talking about the tour to our friends and family. Highly recommended.

Wonderful time visiting the highlights of the area. George provided much information about the area, history and interesting stories. The fish and chips included were absolutely delicious. We loved having a small group instead of a large bus full. It was a great excursion from start to finish. We would highly recommend this tour to all.

George is the best tour guide ever. He was very knowledgable of the area, took us to places other tours don’t include. George has been an actor and his tour was a great theatrical experience.
Response from Host, Oct 2025
Very kind words. Thank you!
JoAnne_L, Sep 2025
George was amazing! Warm, welcoming, knowledgeable, very very interesting, musical, and pointed out so many interesting things, and made great suggestions for us to continue our NFLD adventures.
He took us to 'By the Beach' in Portugal Cove for a delicious fresh fish & chip lunch. Sherri made us feel like we were in her own kitchen.
George even answered a few questions questions from people not even on our tour.
If you're in the St. John's area, contact George for a memorable and unforgettable experience. He'll even pick up up and drop you off.
Thank you so much George!

George was a great guide and bent over backwards to accommodate the group. He went to 2 different locations to pick us up when a few got confused about the pick up point. He was knowledgeable and engaging and the tour was a great value.
Tracy_G, Sep 2025
I had a wonderful day touring around with George:) He was extremely knowledgeable about the area and its history. We had by far the best fish and chips for lunch. George himself is very interesting in his own right. I absolutely loved the tour:)
Brian_h, Aug 2025
George was our guide on a wonderful four hour tour of St. John’s, which included the best fish and chip lunch I have ever tasted. The tour began in Cape Spear and looped around St. John’s ending at Signal Hill. We stopped in Petty Harbour and watched fisherman at work and had a marvellous lunch in Portugal Cove.
Christopher_W, Aug 2025
Highlight of our vacation. Thanks to George for sharing the stories and taking us to all of the beautiful areas. Lunch provided was delicious. Great way to see St. John’s and George is an amazing tour guide.
Meryl_M, Aug 2025
George was one of the best tour guides we've ever had. Not only was he knowledgable, but he was passionate in his love for his adopted city and just as passionate about bringing St. Johns to the traveler. We were a small group, which added to the perfection of the day. Thank you, George - our new friend - until we meet again.
Shane_C, Aug 2025

MOJGAN_B, Aug 2025
We had an absolutely fantastic time on this tour! Our guide, George, was the highlight of the day; he was engaging, knowledgeable, and full of fun. We shared plenty of laughs along the way, and he managed to strike the perfect balance between entertainment and education.
In just a few hours, we saw so much of St. John’s & surroundings and learned so much about its history and culture that the time flew by, it certainly didn’t feel like a 5-hour tour. In fact, George generously spent an extra hour with us, which made the experience even more special.
He’s incredibly well-spoken and considerate, making sure to accommodate the individual needs of everyone in the group. His fascinating life experiences added depth and richness to the stories he told, making the tour not only informative but also deeply personal. Warm-hearted and kind, George made us feel welcome from the very beginning. Highly recommended!
