Great value

Agnes was wonderful. She gave us interesting information, and was very personable and courteous. I was picked up at the Muir and dropped off there - which was great, especially with the rain. Overall, I’m happy with the tour and it was great value for the money. Plus, I’m glad the tour company decided to do one more . I highly recommend taking the tour!

Darren_W, Nov 2026

Great day in Halifax - Peggy's Cove, The Citidel and The Titanic Cemetary.

The trip to the Titanic Cemetary was very moving and the Citidel was interesting. Peggy's Cove was wonderful, but the real star of the day was our guide, Neal. He was so knowlegable, not only about our sites, but all things Halifax. He was so personable when delivering facts that it felt like we were good friends and he was sharing his town. We just loved it. If you're in Halifax, ask to book withe neal.

Peggy’s Cove with Jay

We toured with Jay who picked us up promptly as we disembarked are cruise ship. This was a private tour for 3 people. We ended up with only two because one of us was not feeling well. Jay’s car was beautiful and clean with moon/sun roof windows where you could look up at the colors of the beautiful trees. He was very knowledgeable and shared the “fairy tails” as well as the actual history of Halifax and Peggy’s cove. He stopped along the way for photo taking of the beautiful bays and lakes. He was attentive and kind. He kindly offered to stop at a drug store on the way back to pick up cough medicine for my husband who was ill. We thoroughly enjoyed the tour and highly recommend Jay!

A great rainy day in Nova Scotia.

Rana was an excellent tour guide. He knows the history with Peggy’s Cove, Citadel Hill & Titanic Cemetery. Picked us up on time & the ride was enjoyable. We were a small group of 5 which made it more intimate not just a number. Recommend this tour. Will not be disappointed.

Peggy's Cove and Lunenburg Tour (small group)

JohnJoseph_N, Oct 2026

You can trust Viator and their vetted excursion partners

We were looking forward to an 7-8 hour all day excursion from our cruise ship port in Halifax to Peggy's Cove, Lunenburg, etc., Unfortunately, our ship arrived in Halifax 1.5 hours late due to a storm at sea. Without our having to ask, the excursion trip operator proactively communicated with us and let us know there was not enough time left to complete the tour and we would receive a full refund. We could not have asked for better treatment. You can trust Viator and their excursion partners to be responsive, and to do the right thing. Thank you, Viator!

Private Peggy’s Cove and Halifax Highlights Guided Tour

Sandra_H, Oct 2026

Best private tour ever

Top notch! Doug was a great tour guide. He had amazing history and stories to tell. Not boring at all. One of the best private tours we've done, and we do alot. Peggys Cove, Titanic cemetery, Citadel and the most beautiful Public Gardens. Easy, relaxed, done at our own pace. Water was available to us. He also took us to have one of the best lobster rolls ever! Highly recommend!!!

Private tour to Peggys Cove.

Mary_B, Oct 2026

It is just you and your...

It is just you and your group, so truly a private tour. Zuber’s car was very clean, he was very hospitable. It’s obvious that he loves Halifax and telling his guests about the history and sites. Zuber drove us on a scenic route to Peggy’s Cove. The leaves and scenery were beautiful. At Peggy’s Cove he gave us plenty of time to check out the lighthouse and visit the cute shops. He drove us the highway route back, but the first twenty minutes of that is scenic as well. We stopped at the Swiss Air memorial along the coast, which was also beautiful. In Halifax we stopped at a cemetery that had a Titanic memorial. Thanks Zuber for a great tour!

Half Day Tour: Peggys Cove,Swissair Memorial & Titanic Cemetery

Patricia_K, Sep 2026

Very, very accommodating owner, highly recommend

This her guide was phenomenal. We had booked a long time ago, but our ship was only a port for short while. Another ship came in that was going to be there for the whole day and he had the opportunity for a much larger group. Instead of canceling us which we have often been canceled at the last minute, the owner took us on a personal tour by himself.

Halifax Ghost Tour Haunted Downtown and Harbour by Night

Sheila_M, Sep 2026

Talia was an incredible guide!

We learned so much about downtown Halifax with lots of little facts, fun stories and detailed story lines for some famous people, places and events that were weaved in throughout the tour. Talia was an incredible story teller and had a great sense of humour but also compassion and sombreness appropriately applied to some of the more tragic stories of some groups of people and historical events that are intrinsically tied to Halifax and part of its culture still evident today. She even dressed thematically to match her wonderful personality and dramatic flare thats perfect for a Haunted Walk! We are not the most able bodied people but the pace was slow enough for us to have no trouble and Talia had so much information that we never had a dull moment. There was some walking, some standing and some sitting. It was perfect mix with very little uphill walking! Along the way we also got some amazing recommendations for food, drinks and must dos while in Halifax. Lastly, being a cool Sept evening, we ended up as the only 2 people and normally guides cancel if there aren’t a large enough group but not Talia! She said she never cancels because whether it’s 2 or 20, it’s always fun for her and she never would want to disappoint anyone and I believe that! Absolutely amazing value and highly recommend Talia!
