Local Tours In Saint John, NB

If you’re visiting Saint John, NB and want to learn more about the city and all it has to offer, local tours are a great way to discover Saint John. I’m going to share a few of your best options when it comes to local tours in Saint John, NB and share the one my family went on.

Historic Walking Tour

Saint John, NB has so much history to it that taking a walking tour that allows you to learn more about the city and how it came to be is such a great option. This is the tour my family went on and really enjoyed.

You’ll visit places like the Loyalist house and learn more about how this house survived the fires in 1877 and remained in the same family for five generations. As you can see, it’s built right on top of the rock and really stands out because it’s surrounded by modern buildings.

You’ll also head to the Saint John City Market where you’ll learn more about how this market came to be and how it’s the oldest running city market in Canada. Also, make sure you look up when you’re in the building and think about what the ceiling looks like. I don’t want to ruin it but it give you clues to another major part of Saint John history.

Self Guided Public Art Tour

I included the self-guided public art tour in my list of things to do in Saint John, NB without a car because it’s such a great way to see the city and take in the unique art. I find looking for street art and sculptures is such a neat way to experience the vibe of a city and you usually end up learning more about the history of the city, local artists, and seeing parts of the city you might never have explored. Discover Saint John has put together a great map with art explanations to guide you to the public art in the city.
