This is a short, small‑group ebike tour through Uptown Saint John that threads harbour viewpoints, the Harbour Passage and the Trinity Royal Heritage Conservation Area. The pace is deliberately leisurely — faster than walking, more flexible than a bus — and built around several waterfront stops that reveal the city’s compact coastal character.
