Beautiful drive with a...

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.

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.

Great service getting us to Peggy's Cove and back.

Our driver Rana was professional, friendly--and interesting! He was efficient in getting us to Peggy's Cove, while filling us in with informative narratives and facts that answered questions we had been asking each other before the trip. He delivered us in a timely manner and, after giving us excellent suggestions for our time there, left, only to return exactly when he said he would.

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!

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.

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, Sep 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.

lilly_m, Sep 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.
