Saint John Guided Walking Tours

When the American Revolution broke out in 1774, 40,000 Americans who supported the British were forced to flee to safer ground. More than 14,000 of these ended up in what is now Saint John. These people established the city, and those who walk to the tour get to retrace their footsteps. Sites include the Old Burial Grounds, the Old County Courthouse with its magnificent spiral staircase, the Loyalist House, and much more. Tours operate out of Market Square several times daily.

This guided walking tour takes visitors along Prince William Street and Germain Street. Guides tell the many historic events and stories that took place on the streets, and how those events shaped the city today. Any history buff visiting Saint John must not miss this tour.
