Maria_B, Jul 2026

Well organized tour...

Well organized tour covering Peggy's Cove, the Citadel, and the Titanic Cemetery in one day. Pickup was punctual, the pacing between stops felt smooth, and our guide was knowledgeable throughout. Peggy's Cove was the highlight, the lighthouse and rugged coastline are breathtaking. Great option if you want to see Halifax's must-sees without renting a car.

We truly enjoyed the experience and highly recommend this tour, especially with Arjun as your guide!

Half Day Small Group Tour in Peggy's Cove and Titanic Cemetery

Half Day Small Group Tour in Peggy's Cove and Titanic Cemetery

We had a wonderful experience on this tour! Our private tour guide was outstanding—friendly, knowledgeable, and passionate about the history of Halifax. We learned so many fascinating stories and details about Peggy's Cove, the Titanic Cemetery, and the surrounding area that we never would have discovered on our own. The small group setting made the experience even more personal and enjoyable. The only stressful part of the day was at the very beginning. We never received clear confirmation about whether the tour departure time was based on our cruise ship's time or local Halifax time. Because of the uncertainty, we ended up skipping breakfast so we wouldn't risk missing the tour. Thankfully, our tour guide called us beforehand to clarify the correct meeting time, and that call made all the difference. We are very grateful for the extra effort and excellent communication. This timing issue was not the tour guide's fault, and once the tour began, everything was fantastic. I would highly recommend this excursion to anyone visiting Halifax. The beautiful scenery, rich history, and exceptional guide made it one of the highlights of our trip.

Peggy's Cove and Lunenburg Tour (small group)

Frazer_S, Jun 2026

Great day out in Nova Scotia

We had a great trip to Lunenburg and Peggy’s Cove. Our driver and guide, Nilah from Anchor Tours was wonderful. She gave us lots of information about Halifax as well as the places on the tour. The trip was nicely paced with plenty of time to explore and have lunch. Nilah even persuaded the sun to come out after a foggy morning. Would highly recommend.

Peggy’s Cove Express Tour: Scenic Guided Experience

Kei_T, Jun 2026

Not sure what to do near Halifax? Take a tour to Peggy's Cove!

Our driver, Nav, was incredibly knowledgeable about Halifax and its surroundings. Taking a tour with him was definitely better than renting a car and trying to navigate Google Maps on my own! I thoroughly enjoyed our conversations on the way to and from Peggy's Cove. The time allocation was also perfect, giving us plenty of time to soak in the scenery around the lighthouse. Travel tip: even during the summer months, make sure to bring a jacket or layers. It gets quite chilly and windy at the cove! A complimentary water bottle he offered was also a plus :-)

Small Group Tour - Peggy's Cove, Lunenburg, the Annapolis Valley

Alex_B, Jun 2026

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ An Unforgettable Day with Evan – The Highlight of Our Nova Scotia Trip!

We joined the June 1st Small Group Tour to Peggy's Cove, Lunenburg, the Annapolis Valley, and the Bay of Fundy, and all we can say is: WOW! Our guide, Evan, went absolutely above and beyond from start to finish. It was an absolute pleasure spending the day with him. His knowledge is simply incredible — honestly, it felt like there wasn't a single topic he couldn't talk about. History, local culture, nature, photography, food, hidden gems — you name it, Evan knew it. What impressed us most was not just how much he knows, but the passion he brings to every story. He shared so many fascinating local stories and insights that there's simply no way you would ever hear unless you were talking to someone who has dedicated years of his life to learning and sharing them. That passion made all the difference and turned a great tour into an extraordinary experience. The entire day flew by in the blink of an eye! Evan also gave us countless recommendations for places to visit during the rest of our trip, which we greatly appreciated. We visited beautiful places including Peggy's Cove, Lunenburg, the Bay of Fundy, and many other stunning locations. Along the way, we enjoyed some of the best lobster we've ever had in our lives, delicious local ice cream, breathtaking scenery, and unforgettable memories. And then came the biggest surprise! As a special bonus, completely outside of the regular tour itinerary, Evan took us on what felt like a mini photography adventure. We were incredibly lucky to see a real Bald Eagle nest, including the eagle and its babies! It was such a magical moment and something we never expected to experience. Moments like that simply cannot be planned, and Evan made it happen. To top it all off, he gave us a Polaroid photo as a keepsake. Such a unique and thoughtful touch that made the experience even more special. We could keep going, but we don't want to spoil everything. 😊 If you're considering this tour, stop thinking and just book it. Evan made this one of the best travel experiences we've ever had, and we will remember it for years to come. Thank you, Evan, for an amazing day and unforgettable memories! With love and gratitude, Alex & Mary San Francisco Bay Area (SFBA) ❤️📸🦅🌊🦞

Best of Halifax 3 Hr Ebike Tour with Tour Guide

Veronica_R, Jun 2026

A great introduction to Halifax!

This bike tour was a great way to see the city. Our tour guide, Miranda, was very knowledgeable and shared a bit of the history associated with each stop. She really knew her stuff. I was worried about using an e-bike, but it was easy to master and the route was very doable for all abilities.

Halifax Sunset Cruise Ft. a Live Musician

Karen_A, Nov 2025

Sunset cruise lots a fun

It was so exciting to see the crew put up the sails. The musician played great contemporary music. We tipped him. The bar was busy and everyone became friendlier after a glass or two. Also, the gangplank is a bit steep after a glass or two. The pier is easy to find and there are nice restaurants all around for dinner afterward.

Perfect day on the water

This was a very relaxing and fun boat trip. Even with lack of wind for sailing, our crew gave us a great tour of the Halifax area, answered questions, and we had an enjoyable ride. We even got a great restaurant recommendation that was off the beaten path. It was wonderful. We can highly recommend this tour.
