Reviews of Laurentian Legacy Tours (Travel Agency)

Jane Adey

Carl Slaney is a natural born story teller. We learned so much on two tours with Carl, one about the history of the Truxton and Pollux disaster and another about the history of the tidal wave that struck the Burin Peninsula. Not only did we gain an education on these tragic events but we left inspired by the stories of heroism and determination of the people of St. Lawrence. What is also inspirational is Carl’s passion for his community and his efforts to share this important local knowledge with all who’ll take the time to listen. Do yourself a favour, take a tour with Carl Slaney.

Our family has had such great experiences with this company. We have sent many friends and family there to enjoy it as well. Carl Slaney's knowledge of the 400 years of history on the shores of St.Lawrence, Newfoundland is amazing. He is a local historical guide and clearly a hiking advocate. We loved the stories, the view and the company. Chamber Cove is beautiful, the site of the Truxtun & Pollux shipwreck is an emotiinal site, and such an important part of Newfoundland's nautical history. Pre-covid we were able to purchase a picnic lunch that we ate on the beach, last year we packed our own and still enjoyed a little lunch, not because the hike is long and hard, it was to make us stop and take in the beauty. Contact Carl @ Laurentian Legacy Tours, you will not be disappointed. We will be back again this year with more guests!

Absolutely loved our Laurentian Legacy tour led by Carl Slaney. So very informative, well paced, and lots of time to ask questions about the area and the events that had taken place. We enjoyed to stories and history shared by Carl and the day we did our tour was a misty, dreary day which made the history that Carl shared with us that much more real and made us feel as though we were right there experiencing it all on that very day. Brilliant tour and we can't wait to go back and do it all over again. If you are looking for a beautiful hike, stunning scenery, stories and history of the St. Lawrence area.....this is the tour for you. We would highly recommend this tour. Carl is simply the best tour guide, bar none!!!!

Carl gave our motley crew of six adults and three kids a really wonderful tour yesterday. The 1942 shipwreck is a fascinating and multilayered story and Carl knew all the nuances/politics/heartaches behind it. He was kind and personable. The location on the coast is breathtaking too. I would highly recommend this tour with Carl. One of the best things we did in the Burin peninsula!
