I saw some earlier reviews for Chars Taxi and Tours (all 5 stars)and decided to give her a call. She promptly reached back out to me even though she no longer is available to personally do tours. She made a stellar recommendation of an associate she knew, who was also a "forever" local of the area. Jack Dorrington who provided my husband and I an exceptional personalized tour of the area. We saw some beautiful areas off the beaten path only locals know about as well as all the highlights in and around St Johns and the St Martin sea caves. An absolutely breathtaking area. Thanks to Char and her love and passion of her home, we had a great time. She talked with me as a friend and ask what we liked to do and made all the arrangements. I HIGHLY RECOMMEND speaking to Char, who now books tours for Utopia Tours.

Saint John's was one stop on our New England/Canada cruise in October, and we were so blessed to have Char as our guide. We saw EVERYTHING, and then some. Char is a native of Saint John, and she is so knowledgeable about the area. We had so much fun. We couldn't have been more pleased. You can't go wrong with this fun, knowledgeable lady.

The best way to describe is that we have been cruising and taking tours for 15 years. Just completed this one and THIS was absolutely the BEST tour we have ever taken. I dont say that lightly, but Char truly makes you feel like you are a family member coming to visit and she is showiing you the area. NEVER rushed, totally informative, friendly, she even showed us homes for sale on our route, in case we liked the area. A native of the area, you can tell that Char loves her home and is proud to show it to visitors. Char - thank you.

She knows her stuff and very entertaining. You won't be disappointed with Charlene. She is very accommodating on what you would like to see and has a vast knowledge of the area. I would recommend her every time. She books up quick so that says it all.

Not only a good overview of St. John but your opportunity to see the nearby " reversing falls" so called because the rising tides as high as 30 feet.(the second highest tidal bay in the world} Actually causes the falls to reverse. If you plan to walk the clay bay bed, make sure you get off before the tide comes in. This water is cold if you SCUBA dive a dry suit is a necessity. By the way, the narration on the tours is quite good and if you're from the U.S.A you already speak Canadian well.

We recently took a family cruise along the East coast of Canada in June. One of our stops was in the town of St. John's where we had the option to choose between a cruise excursion or find a private tour. After some research we can across Dave's Taxi Tours and could not have been happier with the outcome.
We were teamed up with Char who was beyond knowledgeable of the area and also provided an excellent and entertaining tour. She made stops along the way when we asked to take pictures and even stopped at one of her friends bed and breakfast for some homemade cookies and great view of the Bay of Fundy. The overall experience was amazing.
What really put Char over the top was when my mother left her phone in the back of the cab before boarding the cruise. We got in contact with Char and she was more than happy to send the phone back to us. She went above and beyond to make sure our experience was super enjoyable (even when we left the phone behind). If you are ever in St John's i would only recommend doing a tour with Char as she made our time memorable.
Thanks again Char for everything!!

My group had eight people and it was hard to find a tour company that could accommodate us. Char solved the problem and off we went. Char is truly a delightful guide. She is proud of her providence and according to her New Brunswick invented everything. Her personality kept us all laughing and enjoying the things she shared with us as we toured Saint John and St. Martins. The reversing Fall s are marvelous and not to be missed. We love this tour!

Char is simply awesome! Knowledgeable, personable, entertaining and accommodating. My best friend’s name is Penny. Well, Char is my Canadian Penny! Planned our tour around our interests, including a stop at Moosehead. She is a great tour guide and fun.
She also has a brand new van with heated seats! How can you go wrong?

We booked Char months ago after reading the reviews. We were not disappointed. We were on a cruise and wanted to do a private tour. She followed up with us pre-cruise vial email and text. Very professional. She was so nice and sweet! She was there on time and took us to see more then we thought we would see! Out of the way places with beautiful sites and no buses! We also beat the buses to the sites they went to also. She is local and has so much knowledge of the area. It was awesome learning so much about St. John. We saw the reversing Falls and Bay of Fundy and the caves and so much more in between. We also had an amazing lunch at Seaside Restaurant & Take Out. The best lobster roll I have ever had. Very friendly staff. I wouldn't hesitate to book her again the next time we go to St. John! Thanks again Char!

We are looking for a bay of Fundy tour. We arrive on Sept 15th @ 7am and pull out at 3:30 pm. What is your rate and what can we do with about 5 or 6 hours?
Written August 17, 2016
Hi there,
I do have an available tour for you on September 15,2016
The tides reflect on how the tour goes. These are the tides for your day here.
High tide 11:13 am
Low tide 5:25 pm
The most popular tour is the city highlights and coastal drive to St. Martins to walk on the ocean floor.
Suggesting that we start at 8:30am.
We can start with the Reversing Falls and enjoy the awesome history with some stops including the City Market, Martello Tower, Fort Howe, Imperial Theatre and a few more.
Then off to the wonderful coastal drive along the Bay of Fundy with a few stops at fishing harbours and amazing beaches. Driving through a few Covered Bridges along the way.
Arriving at The Caves, you can get to walk on the ocean floor as the tide will be going out as we drive along the coast. Bring along some WATER SHOES.
We will have time for a light lunch at The Seaside Restaurant for their Worlds Famous Seafood Chowder and delicious Lobster Rolls in their Air Conditioned dining room.
Then we will head back to the city for another visit to the Reversing Falls to witness the phenomenon of the tide change.
Arriving back to the ship at 2:30 pm.
This tour is $360 CDN. 6 hours in duration for 1 - 6 people.
If interested in this tour, a $60 deposit is required. You can call and make a deposit to secure your tour.

Looking forward to hearing from you.
