This tour is about two and one half hour long. It gives fivee hundred years of Newfoundland history as Kevin Toope, the guide, strolls along scenic paths and lanes of Trinity. He is an excellent, excellent guide and is even better because he includes stories of the area when he was a boy growing up and shows pictures of relocated... More

Thank you so much for writing a review on tripadvisor about your Trinity Historical Walking Tour experience. From your review I remember you very vividly because you joined the tour about halfway through and continued with me to the end. I am so glad you appreciated the combination of Trinity history, Newfoundland history, and personal family history which ties it... More

Kevin Toope is one of Trinity's Treasures. He is a skilled and knowledgeable storyteller who studs his narration with tapes of voices from the past of burial records and other documentation. The 2 1/2 hour tour included wonderful vantage points to view the harbour and there were spots to rest along the route. One of the best guided tours I... More

Kevin Toope is a longtime resident of Trinity. He delivers an extremely well-researched and well-presented 2-2 1/2 hour tour of Trinity, complete with recordings of diaries, court documents and prominent historical figures of Trinity. He is able to provide a variety of unbiased perspectives on historical perspectives on events significant to his community, province and country. More

Kevin Toupe's Historical Walking Tour of Trinity, Newfoundland, was one of the highlights of our trip to the Avalon Peninsula. Full of historical detail and humorous anecdotes, he put a human face; that of his own families, on Trinity and all Newfoundland out ports. It was without a doubt, the best value for our dollar on this trip/ More

Kevin provides a unique perspective about both the historical details of Trinity, as well as the facts that only a resident would know about the character of the towns citizens. From shipwrecks, to court cases, you will be hanging on his every word. I really enjoyed the photos of Trinity from the past, as you could look out over the... More

Kevin Toope gives a tremendous walking tour of the historic Newfoundland village of Trinity. He brings to life, in both an audio and visual way, the life and times of those who dwelt in the village over the years. If you go to Trinity, don't miss this walking tour.

Even though it was a soggy day in Trinity Mr. Toope made the history of Trinity come alive as we followed him through the lanes and meadows of Trinity with its stunning scenery, quaint homes, memorable churches and local gardens. His story style at each stop was enhanced by taped information he played as we walked from one memorable spot... More

My husband and I happened upon Kevin Toope's Trinity Historical Walking Tour because we were in the area and noticed the announcing sign just moments before the morning tour began. We signed up, and joined the group gathering in the morning rain. And thereafter followed the very best, most informative, warm-spirited and fascinating walking tour we had ever been on.... More

The Trinity Historical Walking Tour should be on every tourists 'to-do' list. Kevin is a wealth of knowledge about the people, the events, and the industries that have made Trinity the unique place that it is. As you wind your way through the streets and trails in the center of town and retrace the steps of those who came before,... More
