What are people saying about Halifax

Kristine_C, Nov 2026

Well worth it!

There is a lot of driving and traffic in the city. That being said, it Was well worth it. Peggy’s cove was gorgeous, a quaint little neighborhood with a beautiful light house. You have to be at the Citadel before noon so you can watch the cannon go off….what a sight (and sound!!!). Titanic cemetery was a lovely tribute to all the souls onboard who didn’t make it. Suzanne, our guide, was personable and funny. Born and raised here she was knowledgeable about everything. Would definitely recommend.

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!

Beautiful drive with a very informative guide. Enough time at Peggy’s Cove to see the sights, do a little shopping and get a delicious lobster roll. The stop at the Titanic gravesite was very informative and she added in an extra drive around the Citadel. It was a great tour.

Halifax Walking Food Tour

Trey_R, Oct 2026

Great taste of Halifax

Great way to get a taste of local Halifax and learn some history. Went to 5 different places, spread out across Halifax, so there is some walking but not difficult. Lobster roll, donair, 2 oysters, seafood chowder, and ice cream. Emre was an excellent guide with lots of great stories and kept us entertained for the entire time.

Halifax Sunset Cruise Ft. a Live Musician

Annette_O, Oct 2026

Delightful Evening

Experience and entertainment amazing although it was a-bit cold so dress appropriately if taking a late afternoon cruise. The entertainment was Gary from Barrie wonderful musician and played one of his original songs. There was a lot of toe tapping to the music so you know it was good. The complimentary coffee was greatly appreciated. Hats and gloves would be an asset for a fall evening. Enjoy! Guests were allowed to participate in raising the sails.

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!

Spectacular Coastline and Beautiful Towns

This trip was a wonderful way to see some of Nova Scotia's spectacular coastline and beautiful towns within easy reach of Halifax. There were only 4 of us booked on this trip, making it friendly and intimate. As well as a scenic drive in the comfort of a small SUV, we had plenty of time to explore Peggy's Cove, Lunenburg, and Wolfville. Our guide, Ian, was very knowledgeable and interesting, as well as being a good driver, and his commentary added significantly to our enjoyment of the day. Although it was a long day, there was plenty of time to relax in the car. I would definitely recommend this company and this itinerary.

Patricia_K, Sept 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.
