St. John's, Halifax & Sydney Tours

We are looking for indiviuduals or companies that cruisers have used in these cities. We will be cruising to them in October, 2014 and need to make arrangements if we are going private for excursions.

Many thanks!

There is a thread just down the page with lots of info on St John's

probably one on Halifax as well ;)

In researching our upcoming trip to New England and Canada, I had it pointed out to me that St. John's is in Newfoundland and St. John is in New Brunswick, both Canadian cities. The "s" is on the Newfoundland city and there is no "s" on the New Brunswick city. It makes a difference when you research for tours. Just a word from someone who learned something about Canadian cities while researching shore excursions.

It is actually Saint John N.B. not St John

I did not realize that either. Thank you for pointing that out. It seems like a small thing but could make a big difference in researching the two areas.

I posted lots of information for Halifax on this recent thread: http://boards.cruisecritic.com/showthread.php?t=1989879

Even Google Maps messes up Saint John, New Brunswick. They have been told, but we'll have to try again. I gather some cruise lines get it wrong too.

We had wonderful private tours in Halifax and Sydney. You can see lots of photos from those tours in our Canada/NE review on our website www.thepreismans.com. They are lovely ports with lots to see and do. Enjoy!

What an incredible website and journey. My wife and I are booked on Holland America Veendam departing from Ft. Lauderdale May 1st and stopping in Gloucester, Bar Harbor, Halifax, Sydney, Charlottetown, and ending in Quebec City. We'll stay 3 days in QC and then take the train to Montreal for the remaining three days. The information you provided will be invaluable to us.
