My boyfriend and I took a private tour for this experience which was incredible. We were taken to the major tourist areas such as Peggys Cove and the Citadel but we were offered so much more insight into the history and culture of Halifax. Raman our tour guide was amazing! Having an hour or so at different places was plenty of time to walk around and shop.

Wonderful Peggy’s Cove experience
Excellent experience, couldn’t have asked for more.
Visited so many places along the coast. Unfortunately the weather didn’t let us do the entire trip. Thanks Evan, it was more than we could have asked for.

Amazing day tour of Peggy's Cove, Lunenburg, Wolfville and interior Nova Scotia
Evan, our tour guide, was outstanding! He was very knowledgeable about the specific areas and had many great stories to share. He suggested stores and restaurants which were all outstanding! We were able to see Peggy's Cove, Queensland Beach, Lunenburg, Wolfville, the Bay of Fundy and parts of the interior of Nova Scotia. I highly recommend this day trip! So worth it!

You MUST Take This Tour
Jeff was SO knowledgable about the area and the history that makes it so unique. Our self guided trip around Peggy's Cove was spectacular. We were told of safety issues way before arriving. I should have recorded all the information he shared with us about the Titanic and the cemetery we visited. An excellent intro to the area, with timely advise!!

Excellent tour and guides
The tour was very informative. Jonathan and Leslie are excellent guides with a deep knowledge of history interspersed with personal stories. We had 52 people on a clean, newer motorcoach. Every stop was well managed so we didn't miss anything. In Peggy's Cove we had time to walk on the rocks and grab a delicious lobster roll. Highly recommend!

Great experience from start to finish.
Our guide Jonathan was amazing! He took great care of us from start to finish. Very informative (and fun) dialogue. We loved all the stops, especially Peggy’s Cove-so charming! Our guide recommended a wonderful restaurant that we thoroughly enjoyed (beer and lobster, enough said!) Viator was great to work with, awesome communication and booking process. Thanks for a great experience!

Our guide Brittany...
Our guide Brittany reached out day before to confirm, was on time at our pickup location. She was conscientious to assure we could see the Citadel, Titanic cemetery, and Peggy's Cove. She provided interesting information on each location, not all that would be in brochures, etc that showed she had researched area history.

Peggy’s Cove/Titanic Cemetery must do excursion
Ron with Anchor Tours was a fantastic tour guide for our small group Peggy’s Cove and Titanic Cemetery Tour. He was very knowledgeable and shared lots of historical information with us. He was also very accommodating and took one of our group members to a nearby park to see a memorial plaque of William Alexander, who founded Nova Scotia and is one of his ancestors!
