Mark Welshman was such a welcoming ànd warm tour guide. Loved the pub lunch and the stop at MerryMeeting arts and crafts shop where we had a delicious homemade partridgeberry bun. The scenery along the coastline was simply stunning and the locals we met along the way were so friendly and gracious. Highly recommend this trip.

    Pickup details

    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 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 Fairfield Inn - 45 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 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 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

    A good day to explore another part of Newfoundland. I specifically liked to fisherman village where Below got filmed for the Netflix movie and the nice little man from the art boutique that explained the history of his region. The artifact museum was also very interesting. Everything was good! Thank you to our tour guide that was just perfect ans very nice! Just enough talking to learn about the history.

    Our tour guide Billy was fantastic for eight hours. What a wonderful host. Feel like we know everything about St. John’s

    Nice trip through the Irish loop

    Christina_K, Sep 2025
    This was a small group tour. The trip itself was very nice. Unfortunately for us it was raining most of the time so couldn't get out in a lot of places. But the sights are amazing. The guide Billy was very friendly and was sharing a lot of information about NL. The food was pan fried cod and veg.. it was nice..over all no complaints would defining recommend it

    Breath Taking Day

    Agnes_L, Aug 2025
    This is a great day trip, it is a packed full day, great information. Lots of beautiful scenery. Billy was our quide, very knowledgable of the area. We had one person who doesn’t eat fish and so he made his own arrangements at lunch time, but Billy checked a few times with our person to make sure he was fine. Definitely would recommend this trip and if you are lucky you will have Billy as your quide.

    Great Experience

    Billy is a great guide who knows his stuff (also has a good singing voice). The tour is a great way to travel beyond St John’s without a car. Beautiful landscapes, seascapes, seabirds and even whales spotted on our tour. Newfoundland’s Irish heritage is fascinating to see whether you happen to be Irish or not. You get to meet and chat with members of the Newfoundland Irish community. Cod lunch was delicious. Can’t fault this tour.

    Fabulous tour
