Janice_W, Oct 2026

Fantastic trip, I highly recommend

The tour was great! Almost the whole trip we were riding on bike designated well marked paths along the city streets. I would highly recommend it. The guide was careful to make sure no one got left behind. We each had a bottle of water on our bike, there were bathroom breaks along the way. Elliott was a great tour guide!

Half Day Small Group Tour in Peggy's Cove and Titanic Cemetery

Lisa_R, Oct 2026

Fantastic shore excursion!

We had an excellent excursion from our cruise ship with Nilah out to Peggy’s Cove and the Titanic Cemetary. She even did a little drive by of the Citadel at the top of the city. She was very informative about the area and Nova Scotia without making it seem like she was narrating on auto-pilot. She met us right off the cruise ship and was easy to find. I would highly recommend this company for your day in Halifax

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

Amy_M, Oct 2026

Ask for Agnes!

Highly recommend this tour. Agnes was such a knowledgeable and personable tour guide. It was easy to see that she truly loves her job. We couldn't believe how much she knew about each of the sites and the ease with which she delivered facts and figures - but in a completely casual, comfortable manner. Our family thoroughly enjoyed the day!

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.

Small Group Tour - Peggy's Cove, Lunenburg, the Annapolis Valley

Julie_H, Oct 2026

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.

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

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.

Peggy's Cove and Lunenburg Tour (small group)

lilly_m, Sept 2026

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. Onto Peggy's Cove, breathe in the salty ocean air and enjoy a sweet treat. Our tour guide Nilah was so friendly, welcoming and shared so many facts about Nova Scotia. She took us through smaller towns to ensure we got the a more localized experience. Highly recommend if you're not renting a car during your visit.
