This was our first trip to Trinity and we decided to do the walking tour. Kevin was absolutely fantastic. His knowledge and love of Trinity are out of this world. He was not only informative but made the information relevant to today's history. He answered all of our questions. He was very friendly and made us feel like family.

Kevin is just wonderful. A very comphrensive 2 hour talk about Trinity Nfld. in particular, but he covers the whole history of Newfoundland. Great historical photos and audio which brings to life the hard life in Newfoundland. We left really understanding so much about the Province and it's history.
A lovely walk through Trinity.
This tour is a must to understand the Province, its history, its current problems and its promise.

This tour is a must for those who are not familiar with Trinity and its history. Kevin has obviously dedicated a lot of time gathering information as is evident by his commentary throughout the walk.We enjoyed it very much.

The town is clean and well kept. Most of the buildings are open with friendly and informative staff. A great way to spend a few hours and learn of Maritime history.

We love walking tours given by local people, and this did not disappoint. Kevin grew up in Trinity and is a retired teacher, so you get the best tour possible. He brings the town to life and includes his own and his family's experiences. The cod fishing industry, the outports and resettlements, the experience of a child growing up in this area...it was fascinating. Our group was small--maybe 7 people--so you could hear well. The historic area is very walkable and also compact. You meet and end at Kevin's family home and he shows you his cod drying area, and let you taste cod liver oil if you are so inclined! This was one of the many highlights of our first and fabulous trip to NL.
