Amazing day tour of Peggy's Cove, Lunenburg, Wolfville and interior Nova Scotia
Evan, our tour guide, was outstanding! He was very knowledgeable about the specific areas and had many great stories to share. He suggested stores and restaurants which were all outstanding! We were able to see Peggy's Cove, Queensland Beach, Lunenburg, Wolfville, the Bay of Fundy and parts of the interior of Nova Scotia. I highly recommend this day trip! So worth it!

Great experience from start to finish.
Our guide Jonathan was amazing! He took great care of us from start to finish. Very informative (and fun) dialogue. We loved all the stops, especially Peggy’s Cove-so charming! Our guide recommended a wonderful restaurant that we thoroughly enjoyed (beer and lobster, enough said!) Viator was great to work with, awesome communication and booking process. Thanks for a great experience!

Our guide Brittany...
Our guide Brittany reached out day before to confirm, was on time at our pickup location. She was conscientious to assure we could see the Citadel, Titanic cemetery, and Peggy's Cove. She provided interesting information on each location, not all that would be in brochures, etc that showed she had researched area history.

Peggy’s Cove/Titanic Cemetery must do excursion
Ron with Anchor Tours was a fantastic tour guide for our small group Peggy’s Cove and Titanic Cemetery Tour. He was very knowledgeable and shared lots of historical information with us. He was also very accommodating and took one of our group members to a nearby park to see a memorial plaque of William Alexander, who founded Nova Scotia and is one of his ancestors!

Wonderful Peggy’s Cove experience
Excellent experience, couldn’t have asked for more.
Visited so many places along the coast. Unfortunately the weather didn’t let us do the entire trip. Thanks Evan, it was more than we could have asked for.

This was a wonderful...
This was a wonderful excursion for the value. Our driver, Jeff, was very friendly and knowledgeable. I really enjoyed this excursion.

Great experience
Our guide was Mo. We experienced our tour in a small group, very personalized. The smaller group size made it wonderful for asking questions and getting in and out of highly traveled tourist sites. Mo was so knowledgeable and interesting. Would definitely recommend. The only reason I didn’t give it five stars was I thought that meet up could be communicated a little bit better about where the meeting point should be. Ie: at the picnic table, or at the square center of park.

Learning experience
Peggy’s Cove was quite lovely. Long ride, winding road, prep for motion sickness. Driver was very knowledgeable

Peggy’s Cove and recovered Titanic passengers
If traveling by cruise ship, remember to check arrival times as well as ship’s departure times. This was a small group(4people) , so it was more more personalized. We were able to see many things on this tour
