What you will visit:
Saint John (guided tour)
Situated on Canada's southeastern Atlantic seaboard, where the Bay of Fundy meets the Saint John River, the harbor town of Saint John blends its maritime heritage with modern flair. The landmarks that have survived centuries are stalwart emblems of the oldest incorporated city in Canada.
Old City Market
Located in the heart of Saint John, the oldest working farmers' market in Canada is still a popular meeting place for local residents. The market first opened in 1876 and its distinctive roof mimics the shape of a ship's hull. Enjoy 20-minutes for free exploration.
What you will see along the way:
Discover over 400 years of history as you travel by motorcoach past prominent landmarks and historic buildings while being introduced to the many fascinating personalities and events that made Saint John the greatest little city in the east. You'll travel along Prince William Street in the Historic Preservation District. Enjoy a visit to Rockwood Park, and see the Reversing Falls Rapids from Fallsview Park plus many other lovely attractions.
Photo Opportunities:
Reversing Rapids
Fallsview Park offers the best vantage point in the city to witness the Reversing Rapids. This unique natural phenomenon caused by the monstrously high tides of the Bay of Fundy that reverse the flow of the powerful St. John River.
Rockwood Park
Enjoy the accessible trail along Lily Lake and then complete your guided tour through the park. This is one of Canada's largest municipal parks and covers 2,200 acres.
