Loved the walking tour! The tutorials helped me figure out how to use it. Map showed me where I was. Liked that there was audio and a written transcript. I learned a lot on the walk. Much more fun than just walking around on my own. Would recommend this to others who want to learn more about historic St. John’s.

The activity would be great but I was with my 90 year old mom and the unhoused people in the area had police stopping on a few different places. Not a place to be walking around in.
Response from Host, Jul 2026
Thank you for the 5‑star review. We’re sorry to hear parts of the walk felt uncomfortable - that’s never the experience we want guests to have. The route follows the downtown waterfront so visitors can enjoy the harbor views and historic sites that make St. John’s unique. Urban areas can feel different day to day, and we understand that unexpected activity in busy public spaces can be unsettling. We appreciate you sharing your perspective, and we’re glad you were able to enjoy the tour overall.

Easy to use and full of information you wouldn’t get on your own. The speaker was very engaging. Had some minor quirks that I think were user error and it would occasionally start talking about a previous lstop while walking to another spot. We heard about McMurdo’s lane 3 or 4 times while travelling along george street. Overall a worthwhile investment for a couple hours of wandering St. John’s.

Thanks so much for the wonderful review! We’re happy to hear the tour was engaging and full of new information - that’s exactly what we hope for.
We appreciate you mentioning the minor quirks as well. Feedback like this helps us continue refining the experience. Thanks again for taking the tour!

It was informative and brought you around the majority of the town but a little confusing with the app reverting back to places we had already passed and had to keep updating where we were.
Response from Host, May 2026
Thank you for sharing your thoughts - we’re glad to hear you enjoyed the information in the St. John’s walking tour and that it helped guide you through much of the town.
Regarding the app jumping back to earlier stops, that can occasionally happen in areas where GPS signals bounce between buildings or shift slightly on narrow streets. While updating your location usually gets things back on track, we understand it can feel a bit disorienting when it happens.
We appreciate you giving the tour a try and hope it was still a helpful way to explore St. John’s at your own pace.
