Enjoyed the locations and the guide was very knowledgeable. Didn’t have enough time allocated for each stop. Felt rushed

Wanted more time at each location

St. John tour

Very knowledgeable guide. Even with the bad weather he made the trip interesting. He modified the route to take advantage of places we could see in the rain.

Just barely OK

Most of the time was spent going from destination to destination with too little time to explore the different locations we visited. The bus that holds about 12 people was not well laid out - we had difficulty getting off and on and the back of the bus where we sat had wheel wells that made the time spent in the bus uncomfortable for the two people unlucky enough to sit on top of them. Guide was OK but he sounded like he was reading from a script - even the parts that were meant to sound like they weren't. Tour was OK in that it took you outside the main city and showed some historic locations, but more time at the stops would have been appreciated.

Great tour, do not miss!

Great tour, Brendon was a super guide. Very informative, very interesting, I gained a tremendous amount of knowledge. He was great! Best tour I’ve taken while in St. John’s. I didn’t want the tour to end! The only exception was the cashier at the shop, he had NO personality, not typical ofNewfoundlanders, quite the opposite actually.

Operator response

Hey there, thanks for leaving a 5-bubble review of your experience! We're really happy to hear you enjoyed your tour with Brendan at Legend Tours! We also appreciate your comments on the cashier. We'll talk to our gift shop staff to ensure they're providing the customer service and hospitality that Newfoundlanders are known for. All the best, Jonathan Legend Tours Ltd.
