What to Expect
Stop at: Saint John City Market
Begin your tour with a stop at the Saint John City Market, an iconic market dating back to the 1870’s offering a large variety of vendors carrying local produce, meats, seafood and crafts. Here you will have the opportunity to fuel up for the tour with a tasty snack at one of the shops or cafes or find unique souvenirs for friends and family. This market is the oldest continuously operated farmers market in Canada - they must be doing something right!
Pass by: Rockwood Park
Next, sit back and relax on a fully narrated driving tour through Saint John passing many popular sites and attractions such as the beautiful Rockwood Park located in the heart of the city, Saint John Port, the bustling Uptown, urban park - King Square, the thrilling Reversing Falls Rapids, Irving House, Red Rose Tea House, City Gardens, and historic Fort Howe.
Stop at: Reversing Falls Rapids
Witness the thrilling reversing falls rapids, a series of rapids on the Saint John River where the river runs through a narrow gorge before emptying into the Bay of Fundy - this is a sight to behold as the monstrously high tide reverses the flow of the mighty Saint John River known as ‘nature’s tug-of-war’.
Stop at: Carleton Martello Tower
Take a step back in history at the Carleton Martello Tower - one of the nine surviving Martello Towers in Canada dating back to 1812 playing a significant role in conflicts up until the Second World War. Here you can look out over the city of Saint John, its harbor and skyline from the viewpoint.
Stop at: Fort Howe National Historic Site of Canada
Your final stop will take you to Fort La Tour, a National Historic Site of Canada - an archaeological site containing the remains of a 17th-century fortified fur trading post in Saint John, New Brunswick.
