Itinerary
King Square is a historic public square located in the heart of Saint John. Designed in 1785 it is modeled after traditional British squares and serves as a beloved green space for locals and visitors.
The Saint John City Market, located in the heart of uptown Saint John, New Brunswick, is the oldest continuing farmer's market in Canada, with roots dating back to 1785. The City Market serves as a unique historical and culinary hub in Saint John
It is the second largest urban park in Canada and The first biggest intercity Park of New Brunswick with 2,200 acres of unspoiled natural beauty, with ten lakes and 55 trails and footpaths.
National historic site of Canada build by Britisher in 1777, during American revolution, this location offers a panoramic view of the harbour and city.
It's a unique phenomenon created by the collision of the Bay of Fundy and the Saint John River. At low tide the river empties into the bay causing a series of rapids and whirlpools. As the tide rises, it slows the river current for a brief period—called slack tide and turd the river completely in the opposite direction in high tide.
Explore the famous sea caves of Saint Martins. View the red sandstone sea caves, carved out by millions of years of the mighty tides and explore this quaint village with its lighthouse, fishing boats, and charming covered bridges.

Khusro Was our guide and he was a 10 star. So personable and very knowledgeable about the area. Due to colder and a very windy day , he was very accommodating to keep us more informed inside the car instead of standing in the cold . The fall foliage colors were exceptional.
Most beautiful location we visited in Canada. The guide, Yasir , was excellent! Clean, nice van and an excellent driver. His knowledge of the St John area was top notch. His delivery of information was conversational and not just reciting a script. He timed us to beat large crowds and always let us know it was our private tour so he could adapt as necessary. The Bay of Fundy is must see - such a spectacular natural phenomenon. A real bonus was Yasir taking different routes going and returning to see the fall leaves. Best excursion of our six stops in Canada!
My biggest complaint was 4 adults having to be crammed into a tiny taxi for several hours while we toured. I am disappointed because we book private tours- higher cost to be comfortable. This tour company obviously uses a taxi to tour people around. We were able to see the Reversing Falls one direction- if thinking of making a reservation look at the tide schedule and base your time off of that. We were not going to be able to see the other direction because we had to be back on the ship before it happened. Sea caves were pretty- you just walk on the rocky beach to get to them. Tour says you go to Moosehead Brewery but it was just to walk inside the 1867 building. That is it!! Best part of the trip was going to see the lighthouse. When we got there nobody was there so we had lots of time to explore. The views are breathtaking.
Our guide Derrick was fabulous! He was knowledgeable, accommodating to our schedule, and even took pictures of us at various points which he forwarded to us. The van was comfortable and would easily fit 5 people. The tour started with areas and history of St John which was very interesting. His explanation of the reversing tides was easily understood and fascinating. It is obvious that he cares about his clients and strives to provide the best service to them
Enjoyable 1/2 day with Derek. Very knowledgeable, personable and tailored itinerary to our needs. Excellent excursion to learn about St John and Bay of Fundy. Would highly recommend
Fantastic tour with Ali! We loved our city tour of St. John with Ali! He was fun, knowledgeable and made the day unforgettable. The Reversing Falls were amazing to see, and Ali knew the perfect spot for photos. We had lunch at a local restaurant by the Sea Caves for the most delicious lobster rolls! Highly recommend this tour — it’s a great way to see the city.
Great tour in private van that held 6 passengers. Tour guide was knowledgeable and informative about the area, and upon our request dropped us off near the cruise port where there was better dinning options. I would go in this tour again.
We had a wonderful time and our driver we was very knowledgeable about the area and accommodating to our wants and needs. Our ride was comfortable and smooth.
We had a good time on this tour. Our driver made an effort to visit places, more than once, allowing us to see changes in the tides. At the end of the tour he even let our group divide up and dropped us in two different locations.
Our guide was awesome. He knew a lot about the tides and the caves, and was very accomodating. We enjoyed the entire experience.
It is hard to say if our experience was the norm. There were several other ships redirected to Saint John because of the hurricane. We were a party of 6 and we were in a mini van but because the van had captain chairs we had to squeeze 3 in the back and it was very tight and not comfortable. Our driver was super nice but it was difficult at times since English is his second language. We didn’t get narrative around while driving. At the stops he would give some narrative but when questions asked he really couldn’t give more. It’s tough because we have came off of 3 other ports all private tours and they would outstanding. We did get to see what we wanted Bay if Fundy and the Lighthouse but really nothing else exciting. Our driver was a taxi cab so maybe because of the increase in tourists this was not his regular tour guide job. We booked almost a year in advance and this was our regular stop so think we should have gotten more.
We enjoyed our private tour with Tariq and Akhmad. They take you to wonderful point of interest and places. They are very accommodating with reasonable requests. They accommodate my father who had some mobility issues especially with difficulty walking. Will recommend them.
Our tour guide was fine, but this port was disappointing given the cost. Not a good value. The city isn’t particularly attractive and the tour stops were average. This was the consensus of our whole group. Norwegian would be well served to select a different port.
Our tour operator Mo was so nice and is a very sweet man and is very proud of his city. Great time. St Martin was beautiful .
We wanted private tour for 3 couples ( didnt want the bus excursion from cruise ship) so that was great and guide was knowledgable re the sights and history. he did go on about some politics near the end of the tour, which we did not appreciate. but other than that it was a good tour. he also said he would email some photos which I havent received....
Mo was excellent guide! He showed us so much of St John and made sure we knew all the details of each place we visited. Made sure he was there to take pictures of our group. Would definitely book this tour again if Mo could be our guide. Thank you Mo!!!
This was a very good tour. We enjoyed Mo very much. It would have been nice to have the observation deck included in the tour fee. It would have greatly enhanced out experience.
Our guide, User, did a great tour of Saint John: historical events, people and buildings. He added in his experiences of the city which personalized the tour. The drive to the caves on the Bay of Fundy ended with wonderful claim chowder. We enjoyed the tour immensely.
