Personal car tour of st Johns - Keith was our tour guide & we had an amazing time with him. He knew all kinds of interesting tidbits about the area & sites that we saw. Would definitely recommend this tour & Keith as your driver. The only thing I wish was different was if we had booked this tour at the beginning of our stay rather part way through it

Fun day tour - I had an awesome time with Will, my tour guide. He is fun, friendly and knowledgeable about the history and surroundings. I got to see all the places as expected, and enjoyed the views and stories behind. If you are like me - not having a lot of time for visiting, this tour is worth the time and money.

Bad location - Poor meeting instructions, took us to a residential area to an attorney house! 90 Halley! After numerous attempts to contact the company finally was told our driver was sick and we could try and go later or tomorrow which was impossible because we were on a cruise ship!! The reason I gave them 2 stars was the rapid refund very apologetic

A Flop - We booked this through trip advisor and the contractor never showed to pick us up. A major cluster. We are currently working for a refund.

Unreliable - I booked two tours with you. The first tour was a whale watching tour, and they were screeching in. In order to be screech in. I had to have pre-paid. I was never given that option. The city tour never happened because the driver of the tour quit so they cancelled it, but they never informed me, I waited 45 minutes for them, I called and that’s how I found out it had been canceled. I at least got my refund. I don’t think I will book tours online.
