Review of Pete’s Historic Walking Tour in Saint John, covering key sights, local stories, value, walking effort, tips, and who should book.
“This is an easy walking tour but it doesn’t cover much of the city. Lots of time standing in multiple locations with narrative. Would have liked to had time in the market to look at items for sale. The tour ended near the ship and we did not have time to return to the market. The tour could maybe be shorter with less time spent on a few items. (Marco Polo ship, the theater restoration, or Pete’s old bar). Pete is knowledgeable and has a good sense of humor.”
