Halifax Premium Tour: Peggy's Cove, Citadel & Titanic Cemetery

DAVID_E, Oct 2026

Pleasant exploration of some Halifax sights

For us it was a worthwhile shore excursion just to see some of the sights outside of the port area. Our guide was very good, a smart and friendly young lady. The Mercedes van we traveled in was top notch. After the excursion, we really enjoyed a meal at the Five Fishermen in Halifax which was the highlight of our day.

This was a fun way to get...

This was a fun way to get an overview of Halifax. Halifax is very hilly and this tour made it easy to see Citadel Hill and other areas without walking or driving. The water portion was a great way to see the city from the harbour. The guide was very informative. Highly recommend this tour!

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.

Great tour of Halifax

This is a private tour so you can request where to go or rely on your driver to show you around. We did both, and our driver Anant was very knowledgeable and took great care of us. We visited the Gardens and Peggy's Cove and stopped for lunch of fish and chips (best ever) and lobster rolls at the Food Factory near the cove. We made several other stops for sightseeing.

Wonderful tour!

What a wonderful way to spend a beautiful day! Emre was a fantastic tour guide for the favorite foods of Halifax and the food and restaurant choices were great. The lobster roll, seafood chowder, donier, oysters and ice cream were all delicious and made us want to go back for more (but we didn’t because we were so full!). Highly recommend this 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.

Quick trip to Peggy’s Cove

The trip to Peggy‘s Cove with Jay was very enjoyable. We saw beautiful coastline and learned a great deal about Nova Scotia and the area.

A great day trip from Halifax!

A great day trip from Halifax to explore two beautiful towns in Nova Scotia! Starting in Lunenburg, we got just enough time to explore the local shops, cafes, art galleries and much more.
