What are people saying about Halifax

Emma_R, Jul 2026

A Great Honeymoon Adventure!

We went on this trip for our honeymoon. Our guide had a great mix of sharing information while also letting the guests enjoy the view and the locations visited. He allowed us to freely explore Peggy's Cove but gave us background on the area before arrival. He then led us through the Titanic Gravesite and gave us information on some notable passengers. We were able to gain a greater appreciation for the memorial than if we would've gone alone. Finally, while he picked us up from a hotel near our Airbnb in town, he was also very mindful of the schedules of the cruise ship passengers in the group. I would definitely recommend this tour and our guide to others!

Peggy's Cove and Lunenburg Tour (small group)

Mariyan_Z, Jul 2026

It was an incredible...

It was an incredible experience to see such a vibrant, colorful waterfront town in Lunenburg. Peggy’s Cove is a must-visit destination I wish I had more time at Peggy’s Cove to hike the rocks without feeling rushed. Overall it was a great experience Thanks to Jeff the tour guy who was amazing in explaining everything.

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

Courtney_B, Jul 2026

It’s about an hour to...

It’s about an hour to Peggy’s Cove, an hour there, another hour to Lunenburg, two hours there, about 45 mins to the Titanic Cemetery, 15 mins there and then about 15 mins back to the drop off area. Agnes was great - lots of cool history and facts to learn about. The van is small but fits 12 people. Wish we had more time at Peggy’s Cove. With how much you get to see and learn about, and the fact it’s a smaller tour, I think the price is worth it.

Amazing tour and guide

Excellent tour! Nice Mercedes Van, with an amazing Tour Guide. Emily was great to listen to, she was super friendly, absolutely the best we have had on a excursion type tour. She could be an ambassador to this company as we are now looking at other tour offering from them. Best of my trip. A+++, highly recommended.

Halifax Sunset Cruise Ft. a Live Musician

teryn_v, Jul 2026

Sunset cruise

We booked the sunset cruise for 8 of us gals on a bachelorette party. We showed up on time so seats were tricky to get but we ended up hanging out on the top deck which was cooler and likely, more fun. The drinks were quick and tasty and the crew get you involved in hoisting the sails! Was a great time.

Best of Halifax Harbour Boat Tour

Nancy_L, Jul 2026

A great tour of Halifax harbor

A short (1 hour) harbor cruise on a very nice sailboat. The Captain was friendly and pleasant and took us around the harbor safely. Erica was the first mate and tour guide, and she was very knowledgeable and made the historic information interesting. The only problem was that she was hard to hear when the engine was running. Overall it was a very enjoyable experience

2 Hour Fishing Experience in Halifax

Enock_D, Jun 2026

Perfect for First-Time and Experienced Anglers

was an amazing experience from start to finish! The crew was welcoming, friendly, and made everyone feel comfortable, whether it was their first time fishing or not. They were knowledgeable, patient, and always happy to help. The scenery was beautiful, and spending time out on the ocean made the trip even more memorable. I caught fish, learned a few new things, and had a great time. I highly recommend this tour to anyone visiting Halifax who wants a fun and authentic experience on the water.

Peggy’s Cove Express Tour: Scenic Guided Experience

Helene_P, Jun 2026

Great express stop!

Great express tour to Peggy’s Cove, our guide Omar was amazing, provided lots of insights and info on Halifax, Peggy’s Cove and NS overall. It was a fantastic 4 hours spent on site, highly recommended. The Lobster Rolls and ice cream were delicious. Don’t hesitate, book the tour and ask for Omar!

Halifax Harbour Hopper Tour

Margaret_B, Jun 2026

Great times on the Halifax Hopper

Curtis and Cassie were excellent guides! Cassie was super knowledgeable, clear spoken, and friendly. Curtis did an awesome job driving the hopper both on pad and in the water. Never once did we feel unsafe even in Halifax traffic. It was awesome and I highly recommend it for both young and old.

Best of Halifax 3 Hr Ebike Tour with Tour Guide

Tessa_R, Jun 2026

Good but wanted more information

Gift was so friendly and knowledgeable. I wish it did the titanic cemetery and more about the titanic. Didn’t care for the tour of the port, but the park was worth the ride through the industrial center. I wish we had stopped at an old church and that gift told us more about the old buildings. The bikes were fantastic!!!

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) ❤️📸🦅🌊🦞

JFarwell Tour- Amazing Experience! July 30, Lindsay & Mike

Captain Andrew and Deckhand Ali were incredible. They were friendly, attentive, and knowledgeable in various areas (wines offered, local information, and some Nova Scotia history). The experience was amazing- the views, wine/charcuterie, and overall vibes were spectacular!
