This would be a great way to get introduced to downtown St. John's if you're a first time visitor. St. John's is full of hills so I appreciated the story stops along the way to catch my breath.I thoroughly enjoyed the walking tour.

I thoroughly enjoyed the walking tour. I found Pierre (St. John's Walking Tour) very informative about the past historical events that occurred. He also informed us of the merchants, who they were and how they traded with the fishermen. It was a 2 1/2 hour walk which I found most enjoyable and not the least boring. If you want to hear about our history under colonial rule, when we were an independent territory, having our own currency, plus other interesting tidbits I have no doubt you will enjoy this walking tour and very thankful you did it.Loved the experience. Great to see this new way to explore the city. The stories were good and the walk fun.
