top ten excursion St. John nb

[going to see the world]

I know this should be posted in the ports of call thread, but it's soooo slow there.

 

Has anyone done this excursion? Just trying to find out if the money is worth it or not. :)

Have no idea what it is but would highly recommend Freedom tours to you.

thanks for the recommendation, but I'd prefer booking through Carnival. :)

We took this tour on the June 5th cruise and had a great time. The tour guide was very good and she gave some great background information. There were 20 minute stops at the Reversing Falls, the New Brunswick museum, the city market/Kings Square and then on to St Martins to see the sea caves. We had the best seafood chowder at a restaurant by the sea caves. It gives you a good oversight of the area.

We just did a tour with Roy Flowers and would highly recommend him. It was myself, DH, DS, DIL and two Granddaughters. Spent 6 1/2 hours with him and the only regret is that we didn't have more time with him. He is so personable, knowledgeable and a great person to be with. We saw everything and he knew just how to time it so we would be able to go into the cave at Bay of Fundy, see the reversing falls, St. Martin, etc. and places that the non-private tours can't visit.

 

He knew it was my Granddaughter's 6th Birthday and he made it such a special day for her complete with presents, decorating her chair at the restaurant and singing Happy Birthday with his guitar. His wife, Lucy, made her such a special Barbie cake, too.

 

Restaurant out at Bay of Fundy has great chowder and Lobster Rolls.

 

If you are lucky to book Roy for a tour, you will have such a wonderful, incredible day!!!
