would be a great option for elderly people or folks with mobility issues, but halifax is extremely walkable so we spent more time waiting on the bus than we would have walking to the landmarks. not worth the $ like it is in other cities. having said that the guides were entertaining and had good stories!

Rhonda was a great tour guide. We really enjoyed how much she knew about the tour. We rode the whole route to see it all and then were going to ride again and get off where we wanted the second time.
The second time we rode with another lady who talked about buying gummies the whole time. We thought it was very unprofessional and didn't like that, but to each his own.
Rhonda made each story have a meaning and even brought some of her own personal experiences into it with her family and such. She was very personable. We enjoyed her tour.

Easy to navigate
Jim and Jimmy were superb narrators. Plenty of time to see many sights. Highly recommend public Gardens
Courtney_B, Oct 2025
Excellent tour of Halifax. Lots of information about the history and layout of the city. Hit all the highlights. It was a great tour for the start of our trip to Halifax and helped us firm up our plans for the rest of our stay.
Jesse_D, Oct 2025
It worked just like advertised. Buses ran past each stop every 15-20 minutes. It was a great way to see things around town.
Brenda_W, Oct 2025
A good way to cover Halifax if you are short of time it covered all the places we wanted to see in a day.
Sabina_M, Oct 2025
Purchased Hop on Hop Off tickets through Viator. Was easy to do. Picked up the bus after getting stickers at the meeting place.
Betti_K, Oct 2025
Enjoyed it very much, all guides were very informative. Recommend doing entire circuit, and then start on and off.
Shontel_M, Oct 2025
It was super easy, fun way to see Halifax and hop off where you like and stay on where it doesn’t suit you.
Wendy_J, Oct 2025
The place to get the voucher for the ride was a long walk from the ship. If I knew, I would have bought the Hop on Hop off bus tickets at the port.
James_B, Oct 2025
Excellent tour on an enclosed double-decker bus, so the occasional rain did not bother us—excellent narrative throughout the tour. You will have a 10- to 15-minute walk from your cruise ship to the pick-up point.
Wanda_R, Sept 2025
Very easy way to see the highlights and spend whatever time you like as there is another bus every 15 min or so . Tour guides are fun and informative
Cathy_W, Sept 2025
Expensive and short. Not much to see. The first 3 stops are on one block. You walk past them to board the bus
Sharon_K, Sept 2025
We saw a variety of historical features of Halifax. The tour was informative and relaxing. Operators were very polite.
Claire_P, Sept 2025
We had a lovely experience! The perfect way to see the city. Tour guides are very knowledgeable and witty.
Sylvia_H, Sept 2025
We bought this tour as a means of getting around downtown Halifax and catching all the sights. We have done other hop on/hop off buses in other cities and downtown Halifax does not disappoint. Engaging commentary with a bit of humour thrown in and you have a wonderful experience. Stay on the bus through all 11 stops then start hopping. Easy to use. Don’t hesitate to book!
Laurel_M, Sept 2025
The amount of buses made pick ups quick and easy. Not a lot of waiting. The stops were great and the info shared on the bus was very good.
Steve_K, Sept 2025
You have to walk 20 minutes and find a kiosk which will convert your online booking to something you can use to ride the buses
Lynn_B, Sept 2025
Good tour. Staff very nice and commentary good. Town is very small so once off bus not really worth hoping back on so a little expensive.
Sandy, Sept 2025
Excellent trip. Knowledgeable guides on the buses. Did not have to wait long for a bus. A great way to see Halifax.
Linda_W, Sept 2025
We walked one mile to get a sticker when we had the voucher, but needed the sticker first! This could have been emailed so we could be picked up in front of the ship. The bus is very old and the fumes caused a nauseous stomach. Traffic in Halifax is busy, construction is everywhere. I thought we might go outside of the very busy downtown, but did not.
Andy_C, Sept 2025
Great way to see the major highlights of the city in 90 minutes. The commentators were brilliant with their witty comments
Susan_C, Aug 2025
Nice to be able to get on & off on the places that inspire you The people that was narrating was very knowledgeable which made it interesting
Lee_F, Aug 2025
Stop 1 is right outside the cruise port in Halifax. Very convenient. Viator tix had to be validated at stop 3 which was no problem at all. The tour is on antique double decker buses, and our bus had a tour guide who was very knowledgeable on the history of Halifax, so we didn’t need the downloaded audio guide.. We were lucky to have him. Very enjoyable day.
Leslie_S, Aug 2025
Great way to see Highlights of Halifax. The guides were knowledgeable and humorous. The drivers navigated the narrow roads beautifully.
Jimmy_C, Aug 2025
The ride was great along with driver and tour guild but Rick outside the pier of Celebrity Cruise refused to validate my reservation and told me to walk to the Marine Museum if I wanted to board the bus which was a 20 minute walk along the waterfront. No explanation just "No cant board here." Yet, we disembark at the same location. I am a Disabled US Army Veteran (Medic) with spine injury and asthma yet I walked the 20 minute walk with 2 puffs of medicine and a cane. A sad experience because It was my brides birthday and our 40th wedding anniversary.
I still gave the Hop on Hop Off a 5 Star and don't believe that a bad review should be due to one single individual that may have had a bad day.
Catherine_A, Aug 2025
Great overview of city highlights. Easy off and on. Narrators were well spoken and loud enough to hear. Halifax is hilly so this helps shorten any walking.
Kathy_B, Aug 2025
I extremely enjoyed this Hop on Hop off bus ride, but the first shop and dine did not go very well - not enough shops and only 2 places to choice from to eat.
susan_g, Aug 2025
The bus was so crowded I was not permitted on so I walked between stops 3 and 8. Half out group was able to ride.
