We love kids. That being said you know your little ones best. While our tours are family-friendly they are not geared towards children. If your kid can walk 2 or 3km and would be interested in hearing some stories of St. John's we'd love to have them along. No unaccompanied minors will be permitted. The Newfoundland Beer Tasting Tour and Downtown's Old Haunts are strictly 19+.

You can pay in multiple ways. We encourage you to book in advance and pay for your tour online, using a credit card, at the time of booking. If you do need to pay at the time of your tour, please bring exact cash since your guide may not be able to make change.

FAQs Archive - St. John's Walking Tours

Q: Do you offer a free St. John's walking tour?

We don't offer any free walking tours in St. John's. Our guides put in many hours of research and training to ensure we're offering top-notch walking tours to visitors and so we pay them a salary. To be able to do this we're unable to offer free or pay-what-you-wish tours. We believe that all of our tours offer great value and you won't regret booking one with us.

Q: Do you offer tours in multiple languages?

Yes! All of our tours are available in English. We also offer our Signature tour, Food tour, and Beer tour as a private option in French !

Q: What should I bring with me?

PROPER attire. Check the weather! Pro tip: St. John's can be windy so we recommend packing a raincoat along with your umbrella. Bring a refillable water container to keep yourself hydrated. Sunscreen to protect your skin. Bring a camera and make sure you share your photos with us. Some cash for tips or purchases where possible is always a good idea. Bring a good attitude, you’re on vacay.

Q: What are your accessibility features?

Some of our tours are not wheelchair accessible as there are stairs involved. The Signature Tour will climb 42m in elevation from the harbour, though we go slowly and take lots of breaks. There are multiple up and down staircases. We would rate this tour as moderate due to its 3km length and hills. The Newfoundland Food Tour and the Newfoundland Beer Tour involve multiple sets of stairs to get to some restaurants. The length of the walk is about 2km. However, Walking on Water was designed to be accessible and barrier-free so we recommend this tour is you use mobility aids or just don't want to be on your feet for too long.

Q: Should I tip my guide?

If you feel your guide has given an exceptional tour, your tip is certainly appreciated and at your discretion.
