What are people saying about Halifax

Nancy_S, Oct 2026

Great tour, great guide

We booked the Best of Halifax tour through Viator, not our cruise. It was an incredible value for the tour offered. Our tour guide, Suzanne, is a Halifax local who knew the area well and was a joy to speak with. The Mercedes van was comfortable and Suzanne was a safe driver. Peggy’s Cove is a beautiful stop and it was great to get away from the port. The citadel visit was very interesting and enjoyable to learn about. The Titanic Graveyard was fascinating but sad, Suzanne was a great source of information.

Peggy’s Cove with Jay

We toured with Jay who picked us up promptly as we disembarked are cruise ship. This was a private tour for 3 people. We ended up with only two because one of us was not feeling well. Jay’s car was beautiful and clean with moon/sun roof windows where you could look up at the colors of the beautiful trees. He was very knowledgeable and shared the “fairy tails” as well as the actual history of Halifax and Peggy’s cove. He stopped along the way for photo taking of the beautiful bays and lakes. He was attentive and kind. He kindly offered to stop at a drug store on the way back to pick up cough medicine for my husband who was ill. We thoroughly enjoyed the tour and highly recommend Jay!

A great rainy day in Nova Scotia.

Rana was an excellent tour guide. He knows the history with Peggy’s Cove, Citadel Hill & Titanic Cemetery. Picked us up on time & the ride was enjoyable. We were a small group of 5 which made it more intimate not just a number. Recommend this tour. Will not be disappointed.

You can trust Viator and their vetted excursion partners

We were looking forward to an 7-8 hour all day excursion from our cruise ship port in Halifax to Peggy's Cove, Lunenburg, etc., Unfortunately, our ship arrived in Halifax 1.5 hours late due to a storm at sea. Without our having to ask, the excursion trip operator proactively communicated with us and let us know there was not enough time left to complete the tour and we would receive a full refund. We could not have asked for better treatment. You can trust Viator and their excursion partners to be responsive, and to do the right thing. Thank you, Viator!

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. Lobster roll, donair, 2 oysters, seafood chowder, and ice cream. Emre was an excellent guide with lots of great stories and kept us entertained for the entire time.

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!

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.

It is just you and your...

It is just you and your group, so truly a private tour. Zuber’s car was very clean, he was very hospitable. It’s obvious that he loves Halifax and telling his guests about the history and sites. Zuber drove us on a scenic route to Peggy’s Cove. The leaves and scenery were beautiful. At Peggy’s Cove he gave us plenty of time to check out the lighthouse and visit the cute shops. He drove us the highway route back, but the first twenty minutes of that is scenic as well. We stopped at the Swiss Air memorial along the coast, which was also beautiful. In Halifax we stopped at a cemetery that had a Titanic memorial. Thanks Zuber for a great 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.

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.
