What an amazing day with Tours By Helen while docked for the day with our cruise ship. Helen showed up earlier than planned and communicated perfectly to keep us informed where she was. Cape Spear, Petty Harbour, and back into Signal Hill, and showing us places near the ship. Helen went above and beyond to organize a lovely stop at Petty Harbour, where her family originated. Such fantastic history and knowledge. Can't wait to come back again. Thanks, Helen. August 20th, 2026.

We had a wonderful tour of St. John's with Tours By Helen, and she did an outstanding job! She was warm, knowledgeable, and engaging, bringing St. John's history and character to life with fascinating stories and insights. Helen made the tour both enjoyable and memorable, and her enthusiasm for the city really shone through. We learned so much while having a great time. We would highly recommend Tours By Helen to anyone looking for a fantastic tour of St. John's, Newfoundland. Allankah & Doug, Nanaimo, British Columbia, September 2026.

Fabulous visual and oral experience of the St.John's area! Helen is incredibly knowledgeable! A walking talking St. John's history book.

We truly enjoyed our day on Tour with Helen. We saw stunning views around the Avalon Peninsula including Deadman's Bay, Petty Harbour - Maddox's Cove, and Cape Spear, as well as Signal Hill and the Narrows back in Saint John's. Helen is a delightful guide who provided a relaxed atmosphere to learn interesting history with local insight.

Today 11/18/2023, We had a Tour by Helen; We really enjoyed Cape Spear Lighthouse, Petty Harbour fishing village, The Goulds farming community; It took 5 hours. Helen make the descriptions so much more interesting with her Family past. We recommend to anyone for "The personal touch".

We had such an amazing day with Helen! We were a family of five visiting St. John's just for the day on a cruise ship stop, and were looking for a private guide who could show us around the city for a day. We found Helen online, and were not at all disappointed. Helen was fantastic - she is so knowledgeable and friendly, and took us on such a great, scenic tour of the surrounding area. Visiting Petty Harbour and having some of the best fish and chips ever at Chafe's Landing Restaurant were some of the highlights of our day, but Helen fit so much into a short day - we felt like we got a true taste of Newfoundland and Labrador. Our day in St. John's was probably the highlight of our entire cruise thanks to Helen! Would highly recommend and we would certainly book with Helen again if we were ever to return to St John's!

Helen is the best tourist guide I’ve ever had… very informative and very nice person I enjoyed my tour a lot.thank you helen

What an awesome tour by Helen. She is an incredible tour guide and extremely knowledgeable about Newfoundland. She planned a thoughtful trip and was engaging and made the trip personable. My wife and I would recommend anyone in the St. John’s area to book her tour. Thank you Helen for a wonderful tour.

Saying that Helen's tours is fantastic and unbeatable is an understatement. Not only did she help me achieve my goal of going to Cape Spear but she went above and beyond to make the whole day exceptional.
