Great experience to nova scotia and peggys cove!

Your ride will include some great history of the nova scotia maritime and the titanic. You will have time at peggys cove to enjoy ... and a thorough showing at the fairlawn cemetery which hosts a titanic burial. Listen well to the great stories behind the bodies. If Jeff is your guide he is 100% local and knows all.

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 :-)

Halifax Harbour Hopper Tour

Sandra_G, Jun 2026

Excellent tour that is highly recommended if youre in halifax - we were lucky that we were on another tour earlier in the trip and the guide recommended checking out the Harbor Hopper tour. Captain Geoff and tour guide Abby were so funny and made for a great time

Halifax Premium Tour: Peggy's Cove, Citadel & Titanic Cemetery

Heather_B, Jun 2026

Cameron was fantastic

We came in by cruise ship and booked the Peggy’s Cove tour. We thought it would be with a group and were pleasantly surprised that it was private. At first I was a little hesitant when Cameron showed up because I was worried to have a younger adult driving our family in a different country. He quickly put my mind to ease as he was very safe and cautious on the drive. He also was so friendly and knowledgeable! We learned quite a bit about Halifax and the surrounding area. The conversation was always flowing and we had the best time! Thanks, Cameron!

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) ❤️📸🦅🌊🦞

Peggy's Cove, Lunenburg and Titanic Cemetery Full Day Tour

Andrew_H, Jun 2026

Great trip to Peggy’s Cove and Lunenburg!

What a great way to see some historic sites in Halifax. Our tour guide was friendly and very informative, and we had ample time at both Peggy’s Cove (1 hour) and Luneburg (2 hours). In my personal opinion, you don’t need longer than that. The pickup and drop locations were very convenient if you’re staying downtown. Would highly recommend.

Round Trip Ferry Tour to Georges Island

Rachelle_B, Sep 2025

1st visit to George's Island after living in Halifax for 20 yrs in total over my life

Very friendly, laid-back & accommodating staff on the boat & the island. Great tunnel tour, full of interesting information. Learned some new things that I hadn't already known (or remembered) from other tours. Like the option to buy a ticket for whatever time suits you, and then stay until the last boat. We stayed for two hours, but nice to know you could extend that if you wished, by going over earlier. Reminder to travellers that there are toilets on the island but no running water, so be sure to bring water (or snacks) if needed.
