We had a lot of fun taking out the media crew who were in town for TMAC this past summer, including Rod from Vacay.ca Thanks for the article Rod!

I have to admit my expectations of St. John's culinary scene would be similar to that of Nova Scotia or Prince Edward Island. There are similarities, of course. You can find clam chowder and lobster in the city but in these parts it's cod, moose,

When you think of Newfoundland food, one of the first things to come to mind is Jigg’s Dinner. Jiggs' Dinner is a traditional Newfoundland and Labrador dish that is often considered a quintessential part of the province's culinary heritage. It is also known as "boiled dinner" or "Sunday dinner" in...

We love cruise days. We hope our guests love our tours as much as we love having them on them. We look forward to welcoming the Norwegian Star back in port again on August 4th and 12th. Spots are VERY limited for our tours those days so if you've been thinking about it... book now. ;)

We love the changes they've made to the War Memorial (the last stop on our Signature Tour) in the past year. It's now so much more accessible with fewer barriers from Duckworth Street and a paved path from the top down to Water Street.

Being a city that's over 500 years old, there's still a lot that's not accessible. We know how important it is to remove barriers so this year we've added a new tour to our roster - one that avoids all stairs and steep hills downtown. Walking on Water is a 90min "for everyone" introduction to the city, our history and present day.

It starts a short stroll from the cruise port and finishes right in the heart of the Pedestrian Mall most mornings this summer. Check our website for schedule and availability.

Happy birthday to us! Exactly two years ago today we ran our very first public walking tour. As tour #300-something gets ready to begin on George Street we reflect on how much we've learned (about business, NL history, and everything in between) and how much fun we've had. Here's to many more years of taking walks in St. John's!
