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.

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) ❤️📸🦅🌊🦞

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.
