Our group of approximately 13 were fortunate to have Brendan as our trusted guide and we couldn't have asked for a more wonderful evening. At three hours long, we were promptly and warmly picked up in downtown St. John's from our hotel From there, it was on to Cape Spear followed by Petty Harbour, then back into the city for Signal Hill and down into Quidi Vidi.
There was enough time allowed at each spot for a little exploring, photos and browsing in gift shops. Brendan shared his knowledge of the sights and area and was a safe and courteous driver. He also had a great recommendation for where the group could be screeched in during our visit.
We would highly recommend Legend Tours to anyone wanting to experience a lot in a little time. Thanks again Brendan!

Took a private tour, lucked out and got the owner as our tour guide! The best of our experiences in St.Johns by far! He went out of his way to ensure we enjoyed ourselves and gave us a great dinner recommendation. He’s been touring for 30 years now and the man knows what he’s talking about! Covered all the must sees here in St. John’s. 11/10 would recommend.

This tour through the Northeast Avalon peninsula was remarkable. Our guide, Brendan, was friendly and a fount of knowledge of the local history and geography of the area. Despite only getting in touch with Legend Tours the evening before, they were absolutely accommodating. This was absolutely one of the highlights of our stay in the St. John's region of Newfoundland, and I highly recommend the tour. Even if you are there with your own vehicle, it's a great idea to let someone else do the driving as you enjoy the stunning coastline views that you will see, and the wonderful stories provided by your guide.

over priced 3 hour tour. The most disappointing thing was our guide’s lack of interest or knowledge of the Rooms Museum.. he brushed it off and we would have missed an incredible experience had it not been for the rain!
The tour takes you around to Signal hill, Quidi Vidi, the harbour, Jellybean row but not worth $190..
The van was very crowded.. too many people for this period in time

Hi there,
Thank you for your review. With such few details, it is hard for me to leave an accurate response. Some of the questions I have are below. I hope you can find the time to email us directly so that we can better understand what went wrong and help us make it right.
Based on your review, it sounds like you were a party of two on the three hour combination tour. The cost of $190 is for two people including taxes, not for one person as your review suggests. Is this correct? The three hour combination tour is designed to included the top attractions in St. John's and the surrounding areas like the locations in your review, but it also takes you to Cape Spear and Petty Harbor. Did you not visit these sites during the tour or did you not include them in your review? And, who was your guide? From our reservations, tours have been running at about 50% capacity (6-7 seats on a 13 passenger bus) unless a private group tour was scheduled. Were you part of a private group?
Sincerely,
Jonathan

We arrived in Newfoundland with absolutely not knowing what to expect. We did know that we would wrap up with a tour before departing. We had no clue on who to book with or what to anticipate especially we travelled in late October.
While walking along Water Street (oldest street in Canada) we walked into Legend Tours. From beginning to end the experience was true “east coast” style with a touch of its own flavour. The greeting, the ending makes us want to go back.
The tour was Cape Spear, Petty Harbour and Signal Hill (yes many place in between!) and Brian was a dream. The land is entrenched in history and he kept the whole tour in awe, not only of the landscape, but the historical content that he so confidently spoke about.
Great tour, great guide, excellent service and the cost….can’t be beat. Second to none dat der Legend Tours, I’d say b’ye.

we were delighted to have the former mayor of St. Johns as our guide. He managed to give good context to all the quirky things in St. Johns and answer all our questions. Nice to have someone who is part of the history and a genuinely interested in St. Johns. He had the history of the city since Sir Humphrey Gilbert imprinted in his memories.
In an incident after the tour I dropped my cell phone. within an hour I received a call from one of my friends telling me to call my phone. The young fellow had gone thru my calls and decided to phone one of my frequently called friends. He delivered my phone to me at our hotel. Just a show of how friendly the whole town is . I also liked being called my dear and my love from the shop keepers.

What a great tour. We saw so much in such a little time.
Our guide was very acknowledgeable and had lots of great stories to tell us of the area.
Easy to find from the cruise ship dock to the office to check in.
I highly recommend Legends Tours if you want to get a quick understanding of the area.

I booked the Legends Combination Tour as my cruise ship excursions were full. How fortunate for me. It was one of the top 3 tours I have ever done. In a small van with 4 other passengers, we went on a 3 hour tour including Cape Spear, Petty Harbor, downtown St. John's, Signal Hill, and Quidi Vidi village. We were able to stop, get out and explore each destination. Our guide, Dennis, was superb. His running commentary was filled with historical, cultural and views of every day life in NewfunLAND (pronunciation). He was able to answer all of our questions and as the former mayor of St John's, knew everyone and everything. Booking was simple and prompt via email. The store front meeting place was a short walk from the ship dock. Highly recommend.

International students and families participated in an afternoon tour of Cape Spear and Signal Hill. They all had a wonderful time and learned a lot about the area and the history. The drivers and guide were very kind and added in a couple of extra unplanned stops to Petty Harbour and Quidi Vidi. Thanks Legend Tours for a great afternoon! We will definitely use Legend Tours again!

Booked a tour of Petty Harbour, Quidi Vidi, Signal Hill and Cape Spear. Was informative, comfortable (air conditioned mini bus), and the right amount of time to get acquainted with the site and revisit if you wanted more time to explore. Lots of beautiful photos and great local history, with a few jokes. :)

The Spout (a wave driven geyser), icebergs, lighthouses, cliffs, sea stacks, Berryhead Arch, cliffs, whales, waterfalls. Would you be able give me a quote for 4 people?
Thanks,

Hi Cathy, thank you very much for your inquiry.
I apologize for now having answered your question earlier. While you will see icebergs, lighthouses, cliffs, and possibly whales from a distance from either of our tours, we do not currently tour the Spout or Berryhead Arch.
I would love to know how you enjoyed your time at those places.

How do we make reservations for Legend Combo tour in Saint John, New Brunswick? Cost of the tour? Times? We are in STJ only from 9:00 to 3:00 Wed. Sept. 7 from Carnival Cruise. Do you pick up/drop off at the port? Can we be guaranteed small bus? We have read poor reviews of using large buses.

Written May 30, 2016
I am dissappointed you were not happy with the tour, from talking with the owner, he was trying to save costs for everyone by using a City bus rather renting a coach. May not have been the best idea but hopefully you got more from the trip than that. This is St. John's as well, a small city.

Thank you for your inquiry. Legend Tours is unable to provide you with the information you requested as we are not affiliated with the Bungalow Suites. I hope you were able to make a return trip to the suites.
